The Lorenskog Disappearances Plot Synopsis
The Lorenskog Disappearances is a Netflix crime drama that tells the story of a high-profile case that shocked Norway back in 2019. The case involved three people who went missing after leaving a party in Lorenskog, a small town in central Norway. The three people who went missing were identified as Ingrid Lorenskog, her husband, and their son. It was later revealed that the three people who went missing had not actually left the party, but rather they had been kidnapped and taken to an unknown location.
Tom Hagen’s wife, Anne-Elisabeth Hagen, is kidnapped and held to ransom. Norwegian billionaire Tom Hagen has left his mansion in Lorenskog one morning to visit his office at Futurum business park, but when he returns home he finds that his wife is missing. The police are investigating the kidnapping and they believe that Anne-Elisabeth may have been taken by someone who wants her money. They are asking anyone who knows anything about the whereabouts of Anne-Elisabeth Hagen to come forward.
The family is in a difficult situation. They have received a threatening letter left behind by the kidnappers, and they also have evidence that the kidnappers are watching them. The family is hoping to get help from the police, but they also need to find a way to pay off the kidnappers in order to get their daughter back safe. They are using Monero cryptocurrency as a way of doing this. If they can get the money through this process, she will be returned safely.
Tom does get the cops involved though, who discreetly start a covert operation to find out who has taken Anne – and why. They do their best to keep it out of the media, but it’s only a matter of time before they get caught. ..
The case seems to be a mystery, with no clear clues as to what happened. There are strange elements to the case that don’t add up, and it’s hard to say for sure what really happened.
Is Tom Hagen found guilty?
Tom Hagen is arrested by the police and the case is inevitably made public. The police do brief the media beforehand, while Tom Hagen denies all charges.
Tom claims that he and Anne were in a happy marriage, and further exploration into Tom’s life seems to point toward a distinct lack of technological knowledge. This makes it doubtful that he’d be the crypto-kidnapper, so the police regretfully release him from custody, ten days after his arrest.
Tom is accused of killing Anne-Elisabeth, but Erlend believes that he is innocent. He points out how one-sided the will is for Anne-Elisabeth to be killed by Tom, and his own history of physical assault (namely that of his dad beating his mum) is another contributing factor.
In the end, Erlend is seen preparing an article to question Tom’s role in all this, along with scrutinizing the mainstream media for clearing him of suspicions.
What is Mattis’ theory? Is it true?
Mattis contacts the police to cut a deal. He asks to be transferred to a prison with fewer restrictions in exchange for revealing important information on the Lorenskog case, which is where we are in episode 5.
Jorunn and Mattis are surprised to hear this, and Jorunn asks Mattis how he could have known this. Mattis tells them that he was in collusion with Peter Vam because he was a good friend of Tom’s. He said that Vam was a great guy, and that they both started the honeytrap scam together because they were both desperate for money.
Mattis learned that Vam was closely linked with two men called Edon and Allan Kirap. Apparently the Kirap gang had been told to help Edon with a plan, and they drove to Lorenskog in a van one night. The next morning they returned with a kidnapped woman. Could this have been Anne-Elisabeth?
The police seem to think that the lead is credible and attempt to arrest Peter. Unfortunately, as he’s in Spain, he manages to slip away and flies out to Dubai. With him gone, the police are at another dead-end. Not only that, but Mattis’ mysterious death by suicide in prison is another nail in the proverbial coffin for this case. This essentially destroys any chance they may have had in pursuing this lead further. ..
How does Lorenskog Disappearances end?
Jorun Lakke has been pursuing the case for many years, but she’s become disillusioned and starts to lose faith that they’ll ever be able to wrap it up. In the end, during the final scene of the show, she perfectly sums up this case by sighing and exasperatingly uttering an “I don’t know.”
Tom Hagen, a successful businessman in Norway, gives a live interview on TV to discuss what happened during the investigation into his wife’s kidnapping. He is not happy with the way the police are handling the case, but he will never know for sure what happened.
The Lorenskog Disappearances is a new crime series that follows the detectives working on the case. The first season follows the detectives as they try to find out what happened to a group of people who went missing in December of 2017. ..
