The TRUTH About Murdered Swedish Backpackers? #shorts

June 26, 202501:02
00:00:00
Yeah. And it's I can't talk too much
00:00:01
about where we're at now, but I can say,
00:00:03
you know, I feel like closer to finding
00:00:05
her now than anyone has ever been. It
00:00:08
was, I believe, one of the first
00:00:10
certainly the first murder in New
00:00:11
Zealand. I think that it was completely
00:00:13
circumstantial evidence. There was no
00:00:14
direct evidence, no murder weapon or
00:00:16
anything. David Tamahi was convicted.
00:00:18
And so what happened is the police had
00:00:19
built a case saying that this all
00:00:21
happened in this one particular area and
00:00:23
that the two David Tamahi had buried
00:00:25
them over near Tames. And then it turned
00:00:27
out that a year and a half later, a
00:00:29
hunter stumbled across Urban Hogland's
00:00:32
remains over near Fong Matar, 70 km away
00:00:35
from where the police case said. You
00:00:36
know, Tommy, he still wasn't let out,
00:00:38
but it showed that there's there's some
00:00:40
things that didn't add up here. There's
00:00:41
obviously more to this story. So, but
00:00:43
her body was never found. So, the
00:00:44
remains of her barn were found, but
00:00:46
Heidi's remains were never found.
00:00:47
Surely, there's probably like some
00:00:49
missing piece that might point towards
00:00:52
where she could be. And that was sort of
00:00:54
always the goal to to find Heidi, not
00:00:56
necessarily to find out who did this,
00:00:58
but just where she might be.
