Netflix’s Norwegian crime thriller drama series “The Lorenskog Disappearance” is a dramatized semi-fictional retelling of a high-profile case that shook Norway in 2018. Following the abduction of a billionaire’s wife from their own house, the Norwegian police looked into various leads and theories to try and solve the already convoluted case. What “The Lorenskog Disappearance” does is that it brings us close to the characters on both sides of the case, and it provides an entertaining watch with an air of mystery still intact since the case still remains open in reality.One morning in October of 2018, Norwegian billionaire Tom Hagen left his mansion in Lorenskog, an area near Oslo, on his regular visit to his office at the Futurum business park.The Lørenskog Disappearance Season 1 Download
Throughout the morning, he tried calling his wife, Anne-Elisabeth Hagen, as was also their regular routine, but he received no response from her on several attempts. At around 1:30 in the afternoon, he returned home, stressed about his wife’s health, and shockingly found Anne nowhere inside the house. Clear signs of a struggle in the house and a letter left behind made it very clear what had happened—Anne had been kidnapped by someone from her own house. Tom immediately contacted the police, and the authorities responded quickly, coming down to the place and starting their investigation. However, the biggest challenge was the contents of the letter left behind; in it, the abductors threatened to harm or even kill Anne if Tom and his family contacted the police or the media.Their demand was that Tom transfers them a ransom of 9 million euros paid with the Monero cryptocurrency in order to get his wife back. But the kidnappers also mentioned directly that they had been keeping their eyes on the family for quite some time now and would therefore know immediately if they contacted the police and press. In that case, they coldly mention, they would choose their personal safety over the money and escape after killing Anne.
