The Lørenskog Disappearance Plot/Synopsis
The official synopsis of the series reads, “When a billionaire’s wife vanishes, Norwegian police must deal with the frenzied press and deceitful informants to find the truth. Based on real events.” The disappearance of Anne-Elisabeth Hagen in 2018 shocked an entire nation. This fictional series centres around the investigators, journalists and lawyers who in the wake of the kidnapping are sucked into a vortex of theories, speculations and rumours.
As the mystery remains stubbornly unsolved the characters will find out just how far they’re willing to go in their quest to find an answer. This series uncovers how susceptible we all are to constructing our own conclusions in the absence of definitive truth. On 31 October 2018, Anne’s husband came home from work and found threatening letters in the couple’s home.
The sender claimed that Anne-Elisabeth Falkevik Hagen had been abducted and that she would only recover if the family paid the kidnappers 9 million euros in ransom. Also claimed to harm Anne, if the case was disclosed to the police or media. The case did not become known to the public until January 2019, ten weeks after the abduction. Later on, despite the extensive media attention and a lengthy police investigation, Hagen has not been found.
