00:03:34
married couple Thomas and Katarina Langton left their home in the Swedish city of Stockholm to begin a long
00:03:40
journey Northwest through the countryside 190 kilometers later they reached their
00:03:48
destination the small Inland Village of Sharon Sund the lanterns were visiting their friends
00:03:55
the tubies who lived nearby on the edge of Lake of gritkin Thomas had brought his brand new digital
00:04:02
camera with him and he spent the day testing it out by documenting the group's activities
00:04:08
after a barbecue lunch they took a stroll into town as they wandered down the rural forested
00:04:16
roads towards Sharon Sund Thomas snapped candid photos of their Journey capturing
00:04:21
the trees birds and people they passed along the way it was about 2 15 PM when the group
00:04:30
emerged from the forest and onto a main Country Road there Thomas spotted a young girl riding
00:04:38
a white hybrid style bicycle towards them she was wearing black sports shoes black
00:04:44
tracksuit pants and an olive green winter coat zipped up to her chin her long brown hair was pulled back by a
00:04:52
headband and her brown eyes looked out from behind a pair of burgundy rimmed glasses focused on the road ahead
00:05:01
eager to test out the sports feature of his new camera toolmas dashed across to the other side of the road and took a
00:05:08
series of photos of the young cyclist as she paddled past when Thomas rejoined his group his
00:05:15
friend Ula torbi asked wasn't that Karina's daughter Angela ulla's husband turned around just as the
00:05:25
girl was preparing to turn right onto a grapple track that led into the forest Sharon soon had barely 100 residents
00:05:34
making it easy to recognize ten-year-old Angela hergland it was clear she was heading home as her
00:05:41
family's cottage was nestled in the forest just over 500 meters away [Music] [Music]
00:06:08
thank you [Music] earlier that day angler hergland had ridden her bike into Sharon soon to
00:06:19
attend a soccer practice before she left she made a promise to her mother Karina
00:06:26
angler could ride home by herself as long as she called to check in with Karina along the way
00:06:33
shortly before 2PM Angela phoned her mother on a mobile phone to let her know that soccer practice had finished and
00:06:40
she was heading home the ride home was roughly four kilometers which would take angler about
00:06:47
15 minutes to complete at 209 Anglo rang her mother again dutifully reporting that her trip was
00:06:56
going well and that she would be home very soon as the minutes ticked by Angela hadn't
00:07:04
yet returned and Karina's phone remained silent Angler's Journey would have taken her
00:07:10
down the main road and onto a 400 meter long gravel track through the forest from there it was just 200 meters to the
00:07:19
hergland's cottage yet 2 30 p.m here and angler was nowhere to be seen Karina called her daughter's mobile to
00:07:31
check what was holding her up there was no answer she tried several more times to no
00:07:39
result worried Karina left home to walk the route angler would have ridden from soccer practice
00:07:47
she made it all the way into town having found no sign of angler along the way it wasn't until Karina made her way back
00:07:56
home that she made a significant discovery as she approached the turn in the forest
00:08:02
200 meters from her family's cottage Karina spotted a white bicycle abandoned a short distance away amongst the trees
00:08:12
it was Anglers [Music] Karina immediately phoned the country police who wasted no time in organizing
00:08:23
a search party to scour the forest for Angola complete with tracking dogs and a helicopter
00:08:30
the small local community also rallied together to help search the expansive Countryside
00:08:38
that evening when local couple Peter and Ula torbe heard about Angler's disappearance they realized they were
00:08:45
the last people to have seen the ten-year-old before she rode into the forest and vanished
00:08:51
their friend who was with them that afternoon Thomas Longton looked back through the photos he had taken as the
00:08:57
group walked into town he had happened to capture angler mid-ride right before she entered the
00:09:04
forest less than a minute later Thomas had snapped another photo that captured a
00:09:10
compact red vehicle driving along the road a short distance away it was a late 90s Saab 9-3
00:09:21
tulnas wasn't the only one who had noticed the red sob Local woman Aunt Sophie lexian had been
00:09:29
driving about two kilometers outside of town when she passed angler on her bike shortly after Aunt Sophie spotted a man
00:09:38
standing on the side of the road leaning against the park to Red sub he was facing oncoming traffic and
00:09:46
smoking a cigarette Aunt Sophie recognized the man but she couldn't recall exactly who he was or
00:09:54
why he looked familiar driving onwards Aunt Sophie then passed the lung turns and torbis on their walk
00:10:02
into Sharon swunt police showed Aunt Sophie the photographs taken by Thomas Longton
00:10:11
she confirmed the red car traveling behind angler was the same vehicle she'd seen the man leaning against
00:10:19
while she couldn't recognize him at the time Aunt Sophie now realized she knew exactly who it was
00:10:27
he was a truck driver whom she'd met at the service station where she worked his name was andeshecklund
00:10:37
records showed that eclunt owned a red sub 9-3 but that wasn't all case File will be back shortly thank you

that was until the age of 30 when Eckland was convicted for the attempted rape of a young woman
00:13:23
he served 22 months in prison and upon his release he assaulted a 16 year old girl
00:13:30

00:13:39
year old girl as she slept in her bed for this he was convicted of sexual coercion and sentenced to four months

[Music] Angela hergland had been missing for almost 30 hours by the time police finally caught up with under sheckland
00:14:21
his truck was spotted at a rest stop in southern Sweden nearly 600 kilometers from Sharon Sund not far from the border
00:14:29
of Denmark police converged on the vehicle and found Declan who they promptly placed
00:14:36
under arrest for suspicion of kidnapping angler was not with him at the same time police searched
00:14:47
eklund's studio apartment in his hometown beer bottles and clothing were strewn about the messy and cluttered space
00:14:56
pornographic magazines were scattered across the floor and piled in a wardrobe he was in possession of 17 films
00:15:04
depicting illegal sex acts with animals and also had a collection of used women's underwear
00:15:11
but angler herglund was nowhere to be sane analysis of vacuum's laptop revealed that he participated in online chat
00:15:22
rooms that were accessible to users as young as 15. according to often bluttered online
00:15:29
Eklund claimed to be a 37 year old quote dark blonde powerfully built truck driver
00:15:37
in reality he was a bespectacled and overweight man with gray balding hair 56 elicit images of children were also
00:15:48
found saved to his hard drive Karina hergland woke on the third day of her daughter's disappearance to
00:15:59
snow-covered ground an arrest had been made but the cult snap in the weather meant that if angler
00:16:06
was out in the elements her chances of survival were low search efforts were consequently scaled
00:16:13
down as police honed in on under shackland Eklund denied having anything to do with
00:16:20
angler herglund's disappearance and claimed to be shocked by the arrest police were able to obtain a sample of
00:16:28
ecklund's DNA and to their surprise it led to an unexpected discovery eight years earlier in the summer of
00:16:38
2000 florist panilla helgren packed her bags and left her home in Stockholm to begin a long journey through the Swedish
00:16:46
Countryside the 31 year old was headed to the Inland town of Fallen to visit her mother for
00:16:54
her 50th birthday a party was held on the night of Saturday June 3. after which panilla and
00:17:01
her sister left their mother's apartment and headed into town together they visited two popular restaurants
00:17:08
before getting swept up in the revelry of an annual Street Festival it carried on into the early hours and
00:17:16
by 2 am on Sunday June 4 panilla had had enough wanting to go to bed she parted ways
00:17:24
with her sister and walked off alone in the direction of her mother's apartment which was a few kilometers away
00:17:32
shortly after teenager Linda sherstrom was cycling home along a bike path about two kilometers south of fallen's town
00:17:40
center as she approached a small Bridge she heard grunting and groaning coming from
00:17:47
a nearby cluster of trees Linda looked in the direction of the sound and saw a heavyset man sitting
00:17:55
cross-legged on top of a Slender Woman the woman's short blonde hair appeared to be stained with blood and it looked
00:18:03
like the man had his hands wrapped around her throat Linda rushed home and immediately phoned
00:18:10
one of her friends whose father was a police officer authorities rushed to the overpass and
00:18:16
discovered the body of panilla helgren she had been sexually assaulted and strangled to death
00:18:24
the man responsible was nowhere to be sane [Music] while panilla's killer had worn a condom
00:18:33
his DNA was recovered on the leg of her trousers the sample was cross-checked against the
00:18:40
DNA of 800 men but there wasn't a match in time panilla's case went cold that was until eight years later when
00:18:52
under sheklin's DNA was filed following his arrest for the kidnapping of angler hergland
00:18:59
while eklund's DNA didn't reveal anything about anglo's case it came back as a match to panilla helgren's killer
00:19:09
when detectives informed Declan of this Revelation he requested a private conversation with his lawyer
00:19:17
afterwards he told the detectives that what had happened that summer had been gnawing away at him for eight years
00:19:26
Eckland had attended for loon Street Festival on Sunday June 4. he was heading back to his car in the
00:19:33
early hours when he spotted panilla helgren walking down the road they struck up a conversation during
00:19:41
which Eklund claimed panilla invited him back to her mother's house for sex Eklund suggested they slip into the
00:19:49
nearby Woods instead but panilla was apprehensive Eckland dismissed her refusal and forced
00:19:57
himself onto Penelope as they crossed the bridge spanning a bike path he struck her so hard in the head that
00:20:05
she fell over the railing and rolled down the hill to the ground below blood Sate from her head wound
00:20:14
Eckland dragged penela into the nearby trees and proceeded to rape her she tried to escape but Eklund used his
00:20:22
considerable weight to incapacitate her Eklund claimed he never intended to kill
00:20:29
panilla he just wanted to strangle her until she fell unconscious so it would give him the chance to flee
00:20:38
investigators were unconvinced of ecklen's version of events whatever the truth Eklund had confessed
00:20:46
to raping and killing panilla helgren while the DNA had convinced investigators of this fact they were
00:20:54
still stunned that he openly admitted to it emboldened by eklund's willingness to

00:24:12
Angler's disappearance But ultimately requested to speak to his lawyer in private again
00:24:19
afterwards he began to tell another story on the afternoon of Saturday April 5 2008 Eckland claimed he'd been driving
00:24:30
home when he pulled over just outside of Sharon soon to smoke a cigarette shortly after angler herglund rode by on
00:24:39
her bike Eklund returned to his car and continued driving up the road he noticed the right-hand turn onto the
00:24:48
gravel track that led into the nearby Woods Eklund thought there might be some deforestation happening nearby and
00:24:56
wondered if he could secure some work transporting wood chips in his truck he turned onto the track and soon passed
00:25:05
angler again who was cycling along the same route [Music] a little further ahead Eklund parked his
00:25:13
car and got out he wondered why angla was cycling alone in such an isolated area
00:25:21
when she approached eclunt asked if she lived nearby to which angler supposedly replied that she was taking a shortcut
00:25:31
Eckland claimed that angler was acting arrogant and cheeky towards him and she kicked him in the leg
00:25:38
this prompted Eklund to grab angler and drag her towards his car although he denied it at first Eklund
00:25:48
eventually confessed to having sexually assaulted Angler during the attack angler kicked eclunt
00:25:55
again causing him to stumble backwards she tried to run away but Eklund caught up with her quickly and threw her to the
00:26:03
ground he was so enraged that he suffered what he described as some kind of tunnel
00:26:10
vision this led him to put his full weight on Angler's chest while proceeding to
00:26:16
strangle her with his bare hands he then put Angela's lifeless body in the trunk of his car before throwing her
00:26:24
bike amongst the surrounding trees Eklund began driving away from the scene but before long he heard a noise coming
00:26:34
from the trunk he stopped to investigate realizing it was the sound of anglo's mobile phone
00:26:40
ringing in her jacket pocket it was her mother checking to see why she hadn't come home yet
00:26:48
Eckland threw the phone off to the side of the road then continued home [Music] there he changed his clothes and made
00:26:57
himself a coffee he then got back into his car and continued driving wanting to create as
00:27:04
much distance between angler and her home as possible along the way he stopped to buy
00:27:11
cigarettes and eat a pizza until he raged a secluded Forest he removed anglo's body from the trunk
00:27:19
of his car doused her with petrol and set her a lot on the drive home Eckland visited a
00:27:27
service station and washed his car he found Angler's burgundy rimmed glasses in the trunk and promptly threw
00:27:36
them in a bin he's attempted clean off wasn't perfect as traces of Angler's blood were found
00:27:43
on the tailgate of his car officers searched the forest where eclunt claimed to have left anglo's body
00:27:52
and soon found her charred remains afterwards a funeral service was held for angler with so many mourners packing
00:28:03
out the church that many had to watch the event on large projector screens outside
00:28:10
the service was also broadcast alive around the nation this was a first for Sweden a testament
00:28:17
to the impact that Angler's ordeal had made it allowed the whole country to remember
00:28:23
Wrangler as the spirited young girl she was and not just a murder victim under sheckland faced trial for the rape
00:28:35
and murders of panilla helgreen and angler herglund in July 2008. with DNA and blood evidence linking him
00:28:44
to both crime scenes it was an open and shut case Eklund took the stand and while he
00:28:52
didn't deny the crimes he blamed a sight of himself that he called evil lundesh he admitted there was no logic in what
00:29:01
he had done to panilla helgren while still maintaining he had never intended to kill her
00:29:08
eclan's lawyer attempted to mitigate his clients moral responsibility by likening
00:29:13
Anglo herglen's fate to a tragic accident he quoted the famous short story to kill
00:29:20
a child by Stig duggemann a Swedish journalist who Rose to prominence in the aftermath of World War II
00:29:28
in the piece the protagonist accidentally kills a child by running over them with his car
00:29:36
observers regarded this as an appalling attempt to elicit sympathy for rackland it was particularly upsetting for Karina
00:29:45
hergland who swore under her breath as the prose was read aloud her profanities got louder and louder
00:29:53
until she eventually shouted at Eklund and his lawyer resulting in her removal from the courtroom
00:30:00
before leaving Karina looked directly at Eklund and snarled is that the best you
00:30:07
can do he stared back passively in response under sheckland was founded guilty on
00:30:17
all counts and sentenced to life in prison The District Court rejected the stories
00:30:23
he concocted about the lead-up to both attacks in pinella's case it was likely he had
00:30:30
stalked her as she walked home alone from the street festival she had not propositioned him like he
00:30:37
had claimed the court was also dismissive of eckland's story about driving down the
00:30:43
path that led him to angler in search of work they had no doubts that his sole motivation to turn down the forested
00:30:52
track was to assault the ten-year-old panilla's father spoke of how ecklen's guilty verdict brought to an end eight
00:31:00
years of uncertainty he described to those times as a roller coaster between hope and despair
00:31:09
quote every time I woke up I knew there was someone on the loose that had murdered
00:31:15
my daughter neither I nor my family have lived properly now it feels better but far from good
00:31:25
you live with this every single day under sheckland was housed in a sex offender's Ward where in 2014 he was
00:31:37
attacked by his fellow inmates as a result the process began to have him moved to a new facility for his own
00:31:45
safety in 2018 after 10 years in prison Eckland applied to have his life sentence
00:31:53
commuted to a fixed term this opened up the possibility of parole his request was denied as the court
00:32:03
found him to be a quote concrete and significant risk of relapsing into a serious crime
00:32:13
eklund's request to move prisons was granted in 2020 upon his arrival Eklund was beaten by a
00:32:21
fellow prisoner Swedish authorities continue to investigate andeshechlund as a possible
00:32:29
suspect in other violent unsolved sex crimes across Sweden in any case he will die in prison
00:32:40
in the aftermath of understand's trial for the murders of Pinella helgrian and Angela hergland information came to
00:32:48
light that stunned the community when police were first attempting to identify panilla's killer in the year
00:32:55
2000 they drew up a list of Sweden's known violent sex offenders it featured 1213 names
00:33:05
under sheckland was number 21. Linda sherstrom the teenager who had witnessed Penelope throttled provided
00:33:16
