A seventeen-year-old girl left the cafe where she worked part-time on the weekends and disappeared without a trace. The police began to find disturbing evidence that led them to think that something really terrible had happened to the girl. From the first days, this case became the main news topic in Sweden and more than a thousand people joined the search, making it the largest in the history of the country.
When the sad truth finally came to light, people were shocked at how this could happen. [music] Friends, after watching, I recommend checking out my telegram channel where I daily publish interesting crime news from around the world without censorship. The link is in the description. Lisa Holm was born on February 7, 1998 in a small Swedish town where it was a quiet and peaceful place.
She lived there with her parents and older sister. Lisa was a kind, positive and purposeful person even before finishing school. She decided that she wanted to go to Australia and study there to be an architect. In addition, she often traveled with her parents, having seen many other countries. The girl also She was very independent since her teenage years, she tried to find various part-time jobs to earn money on her own before the summer of 2015, when Lisa was 17, she got her first serious job at a cafe located about 40
minutes from her home. For the first few weeks, her parents drove her there by car, but soon the girl’s father bought her a scooter. Lisa had a license for this type of transport; she could only get a car after 18 years. The girl was happy with this gift because she wanted to get to work on her own. However, her father accompanied her for several weeks because Lisa had practically no experience in driving on the roads.
She worked only on weekends and her father went with her every morning and evening. Only on June 7th, the girl went to a cafe alone on his scooter for the first time closer to lunch. Her parents decided to go to her work to have a snack and visit their daughter. That day, the cafe was crowded and Lisa was very busy with work.
She took a short lunch break, had a snack with her parents, and they went back home. At 6:23 pm, Lisa wrote to her father that leaving work But three minutes later he received a call from her phone, a man picked up the phone, however, no one answered, he heard some voices in the background and thought that Lisa accidentally pressed call, the father thought that his daughter was talking to colleagues, he also heard the sound of a car door slamming, the man said her name several more times, then ended the call and began to wait for her to get home, an
hour had passed and the girl’s parents began to worry, Lisa should have arrived by now, her father immediately thought that something could have happened to him on the way, it was the first time she rode a scooter on her own and the man was very worried about her safety, he tried to call her several times, but Lisa’s phone was turned off, after waiting a few more minutes, the father decided to go to meet her, the girl was supposed to go by the shortest road and the man hoped to meet her on the way, the father was
afraid that his daughter could have had an accident, so he drove at low speed, looking around the road, but Lisa was nowhere to be found, the man drove to the cafe without finding his daughter, arriving at her work, he saw in front of Lisa’s scooter was parked near the building. At that moment, the man was already openly panicking because he hadn’t been able to find his daughter along the entire road.
Noticing her transport, he immediately calmed down. The father thought that the girl was late at work for some reason. However, there was no one in the establishment and the man noticed something else: the scooter keys were sticking out of the ignition and Lisa’s helmet was also missing. This finally led him to the idea that something bad had happened to the girl.
She would never have left the keys in the scooter, leaving it unattended in the parking lot. Meanwhile, Lisa’s mother called the owner of the cafe in the hope that TASS could shed light on the disappearance of the girl, but the woman said that she had no idea where she could have gone. She called her employees at about 6 pm and they said that she was going to close the establishment after a call from Lisa’s mother.
The owner of the cafe immediately got into the car and headed there. On the way, she called her friends who lived near the establishment and asked them to help with the search for this Four people responded to the request when the cafe owner arrived at the scene, they, along with the girl’s father, began combing both the establishment itself and the surrounding area.
Their last hope was that Lisa, for some reason, decided not to go home on a scooter. They found out the schedule on the bus, and the girl’s mother and her older sister had already gone to the bus stop in their city. Unfortunately, this version was not confirmed. Lisa was not on the bus, and her relatives immediately contacted the police.
By that time, it was already almost 10 pm and it was getting dark outside. The police immediately began a large-scale search. The fact that the girl’s scooter was left in the parking lot with the keys led them to the idea of a possible kidnapping. Such cases are quite rare in Sweden and even rarer in their remote provincial area, so the officers immediately sent several groups with dogs to search.
Other police officers began going around every house in that area; soon, Lisa’s disappearance was recognized. Her classmates and friends found out about her disappearance; they spread information about her disappearance on social networks. I hope this helps. The search for the girl continued all night to find witnesses.
However, they did not yield any results. On Monday morning, the police department announced that Lisa was missing, calling on anyone with useful information to share with them. Around the same time, men who had gone to work contacted them and discovered a motorcycle glove in an industrial barn located directly across from the cafe.
The police had inspected this barn the evening of the girl’s disappearance, but they did not notice the glove there. They showed it to Lisa’s parents, and they confirmed that the glove did indeed belong to her. This further strengthened the theory of abduction, and the police threw additional resources into the search.
By that time, news of the girl’s disappearance had spread throughout the area, and hundreds of volunteers had joined the search. On Tuesday, the police received several more disturbing leads. Volunteers searched the area along a country road that started a few hundred meters from the cafe. There they found a phone case, a receipt, a ticket, and a broken smartphone screen.
Investigators immediately determined that all of these items belonged to Lisa and concentrated the search in this area. Soon, they found other parts of the broken Lisa’s smartphone, documents, and several other receipts were scattered along that very country road. After the discovery of this evidence, the police had virtually no doubt that Lisa had been kidnapped.
They threw all their available resources into searching for her, and every day more and more concerned people joined them. This case became the main news topic throughout Sweden, and hundreds of volunteers came from all over the country. A volunteer organization specializing in finding missing people also joined the case.
All this led to the fact that the search for Lisa became the largest in the history of the country. In total, more than a thousand people took part in them. The police also received numerous calls with potential tips. One woman said that she went jogging the day before Lisa’s disappearance. A man standing next to his car stopped her in the middle of the road.
He spoke to her in English and asked for directions to some city the woman had never heard of. She showed him the directions on Google Maps. But then the man asked her to get into his car and show him the route on his navigator. Of course, women She treated this request with great suspicion and refused, after which she ran on.
In a conversation with the police, she noted one interesting detail. It seemed to her that she had already seen this man among the workers who were doing repairs at that very bar located opposite the cafe. Lisa’s colleagues also told her something interesting. One of the waitresses noticed two men standing across the street from the cafe on the day of her disappearance, and she did not attach much importance to this, but after Lisa’s disappearance, she decided to share this observation with the police.
The next morning, Wednesday, the girl’s father, along with his friends, went to comb the country road where her things were found. After going a little further, he discovered several more disturbing finds: Lisa’s driver’s license for a scooter and her house keys. It all looked as if Lisa was being driven along this road away from the cafe and the kidnapper was throwing out her things.
The police and volunteers threw all their efforts into further searching in this area, but no other things could be found. That same evening, a friend of Lisa’s father was returning home from searching. Driving past the cafe, he noticed that the sambar where the girl’s glove was found, the police tape was removed.
The man decided to go in there and take a flashlight with him since it was already dark outside. He walked around the room for several minutes until his attention was drawn to something shiny on the floor. Coming closer, he saw a woman’s earring and not far from it, a second one. The man reported this to the police, and they showed the earrings to Lisa’s parents.
They confirmed that these jewelry items belonged to their daughter. The police again cordoned off the barn and searched it more thoroughly. The main thing is that the detective later said that on the first day of the search for the flisa, they were focused on finding the girl herself, so the barn was examined superficially, because of this, they could miss such small items as earrings.
But this time, they brought in many forensic experts and dog handlers. During the second search, they noticed a very unusual piece of evidence. At the same time, the police discovered human feces from the partitions. At first glance, it may seem that this is in no way related to the case. However, the forensic experts put forward a well- founded version.
They said that at the time of the crime Serious crimes produce a colossal amount of adrenaline in criminals, which is why they often feel the need to defecate. For example, there are often situations when a killer can wet himself before committing a crime or during it. Considering that Lisa’s glove and earrings were found in the barn, it was clear to the police that if she was really kidnapped, the criminal dragged her to this very room.
Therefore, detectives did not rule out that this person, under the influence of adrenaline, could not hold back and defecated, and these feces were handed over to experts for DNA analysis. On Friday, the search area was expanded and volunteers reached a farm located about three kilometers from the cafe. It was a complex of several large buildings in which many people worked, and members of the search team decided to inspect them all.
However, almost immediately after they arrived at the scene, two men drove up to them. They did not know Swedish and spoke only English. One of them said that the police had already inspected this farm. However, the head of the search group treated this information with doubt. He thought that in this case he would have known about it and ordered to continue.
The two men walked around the company’s territory for some time and watched the volunteers, after which they left about an hour later. The search team members discovered a pile of branches behind the barn, under which they found a motorcycle helmet, a jacket, and headphones. The police immediately arrived at the scene and confirmed that all of these items belonged to Lisa.
They sent forensic experts to the farm for a more thorough search and also listened to the story of two strange men who tried to dissuade the volunteers from inspecting the farm. The police remembered the story of a woman who encountered a suspicious man speaking English. Moreover, they already guessed who they were talking about from the first days of the search.
They went around all the houses near the cafe, and in one of them lived two brothers from Lithuania, as well as the wife of one of them. All three did not know Swedish and communicated in English. These were the only people within a radius of several kilometers who did not speak the local language. The police also had other indirect reasons for suspecting them.
The brothers worked in a barn opposite the cafe, and on the farm where Lisa’s helmet was found, they were well acquainted with these buildings and the surrounding area, and the country road along which many of the girl’s things were found turned towards their house, considering that the police had no other suspects, they decided to question everyone who was there.
They were driving after them to deliver their plot to the farm. Forensic experts arrived along with volunteers. They continued to inspect the farm. Their attention was drawn to an old trailer. It stood surrounded by tall grass and looked as if it had not been used for many years. However, next to its door, the vegetation was taken as if something was lying there.
In addition, part of the grass was trapped by the door. This means that someone recently opened it. As soon as the forensic experts swung the door open, they were immediately greeted by a strong cadaverous smell. Inside the trailer, there were lockers for clothes. Apparently, it was once used as a changing room for workers.
All but one of the lockers was locked, and the experts thought that Lisa’s body was in one of them. They began to open them one by one, but quickly noticed that the girl’s body was in the open one, behind a pile of old clothes and rags. Despite the small size of the locker, the killer managed to place his Lisa had a rope around her neck, a large amount of tape on her head, her pants were pulled down, and her T-shirt was pulled up.
Medical experts determined that Lisa died from strangulation. However, they found no traces of abuse of the victim. All of her clothes were handed over to an expert. Meanwhile, information about the discovery of the body spread throughout the country throughout the week. The news of the abduction of a 17-year-old girl was the main news item in Sweden.
And when her body was found and the public learned that Lisa had been brutally murdered, this case spread throughout the country. Crimes of this kind were extremely rare in Sweden, and people were shocked by the fact that someone could commit such a crime. On the same day that the girl’s body was found, something unusual and very creepy happened.
YouTube users found a video published 13 days before the murder. The title of the video was the number 13. The video itself was a timer counting down the time. The most disturbing thing was the name of the channel that published this video; it was called Lisa Koln. Information about this video immediately spread through the media, and many people They were shocked by such a set of coincidences.
Some began to think that some user predicted the murder, but in fact, everything turned out to be much simpler. Apparently, someone simply changed the name of the channel and the video after the discovery of the girl’s body. This person wanted to give rise to another conspiracy theory or just play a cruel joke.
Meanwhile, the police were faced with the task of finding the killer as quickly as possible. At the time of Lisa’s discovery, investigators had already brought two brothers and a woman to the station, and all three denied their involvement. They stated that at the time of the abduction, they were at home, confirming each other’s alibis.
According to them, the older brother was sleeping in his room. His wife was cooking dinner. And the younger one was sitting at the computer. The older brother, whose name was us, added that at about 8 o’clock in the evening, he woke up and went to a gas station. Where he bought cigarettes. The police were in no hurry to believe their alibis, since all three could simply be covering for each other.
They took DNA samples from them, but the investigators still did not have a single piece of evidence that would connect them to the murder, but this did not last long. The forensic experts were working in the barn. And on farm, using all available resources and forces, and soon this bore fruit. In the barn located opposite the cafe, there was something like a small office room.
It had a large window that looked directly onto the cafe. After examining this room, experts found 15 different traces of male semen on the walls and floor of this window. Everything looked as if a certain man stood there and watched the employees of the establishment, among whom was Lisa, and satisfied himself.
These semen samples were immediately sent to the laboratory, where a DNA profile was extracted from them in the shortest possible time. Those 15 traces of semen completely matched the DNA of the older brother of the 35-year-old nerius. The same applies to the feces found in the barn; they also belonged to him. In the room next to the office, which in the past was used to store cow’s milk, forensic experts noticed a pipe sticking out about two meters from the floor and was covered with a thick layer of dust, with the exception of a small strip.
The size of this strip matched the rope that was wrapped around the neck. Elsa In addition, traces of blood were found on this pipe, DNA analysis showed that it belonged to Nerius, a piece of exactly the same rope was also found on the floor under the pipe, experts studied it and identified two DNA profiles of Lisa and Nerius for the police, this became the first serious clue, the man definitely interacted with the rope that killed the girl, in addition to everything else, Lisa’s hair was found on the floor of this room,
another important piece of evidence was obtained from her jacket, traces of DNA belonging to Nerius were also found on it, based on the available data, the police decided that she was killed right here they formed an approximate picture of what happened, in their opinion, Nerius had been watching the cafe for some time and when Lisa was left alone in the parking lot, he drove up to her in his car, then, based on the testimony of a woman on a jog, the man could ask Lisa to give him directions to some city, after which Nerius could ask her to
get into his car to enter a route indicator, considering that Lisa was a good-natured and sympathetic person, she could agree as soon as the girl was in the car, the criminal taped her mouth and drove up to opposite the barn, he wrapped a rope around the girl’s neck and hung her on a pipe. According to experts, it was this sight that excited the man so much that, due to an excess of adrenaline, he defecated on the floor.
After this, he placed Lisa’s body in the car and drove to the farm, throwing her things out of the window along the way. There, he hid the body in a trailer locker, covering it with old clothes that were lying around. All this from the moment of the abduction took the criminal less than an hour. Despite all the available evidence, he continued to insist on his innocence.
His wife and younger brother had to be released because there was nothing against them. Once free, they almost immediately left Sweden and returned to their homeland in Lithuania. Preparation for the trial was very intense. Nerius said that he had worked in that barn for a long time; his DNA could have ended up there during this work.
In addition, he had an alibi provided by his wife and brother. Despite the fact that both of these sources raised serious doubts in court, this should definitely have played in the man’s favor. On the other hand, the presence of Nerius’s DNA on the victim’s clothing could only be explained by the fact that he had directly touched her.
In addition, the police found witnesses who had seen his car near the cafe shortly before Lisa’s abduction. And after that, according to them, this car drove several times along the road between the cafe and the farm, the same time when Nerius allegedly slept at home for several months after the discovery of her body.
Experts continued to study the available evidence using the most modern laboratories, and ultimately they managed to find traces. Nerius’ DNA was on almost all of Lisa’s clothes, including the inside of her underwear. Considering that the entire country was still watching the case, investigators continued to look for any other useful evidence that would influence the trial.
They even went to Lithuania to talk to the suspect’s wife and brother again. The woman continued to insist that he did not leave the house between six and eight in the evening, but when it came to the younger brother, the police suddenly got what they wanted after the man was told about all the evidence against his brother and described in detail what he had done to the 17-year-old girl.
The man decided to confess to everything. He stated that in fact, Nerius was not home that evening, returning only at half past seven. He was all dirty and immediately threw all his clothes in the washing machine. When the police began to go around to all the residents and reached their house, Nerius whispered to his brother, “Tell them that I was home at that time.
” Later, he explained it as follows: Nerius was afraid that someone else’s crime would be pinned on him. Since he is an immigrant and has no alibi for the time of the kidnapping, the younger brother truly believed that his relative had nothing to do with the murder, but after reviewing all the evidence, he realized that I was not mistaken.
Lisa’s funeral took place only a month after her murder. The church they were held in could only accommodate 130 people. However, there were many more people willing to say goodbye to the girl. The organizers decided to install benches and large screens on the street so that everyone could watch the ceremony.
The trial began four months after the murder. This case once again attracted the attention of all of Sweden, so all participants in this process were under intense pressure. None of them had the right to make a mistake. Nerius’s lawyer insisted that his client’s DNA could have gotten on the victim’s clothes because he worked in that barn.
The prosecution, however, pointed out that this version makes no sense, especially in the case of Lisa’s underwear. The only way the suspect’s DNA could have ended up there is if he had touched the victim’s underwear. Nerius did not offer many other intelligible excuses; his lawyer only tried.
To advance the theory that the real killer was Nerius’ younger brother, who took numerous DNA samples and placed them on the victim’s body, as well as at the crime scene. However, he was unable to explain the physical possibility of such DNA manipulation. The trial ended a month later, and Nerius was found guilty of murder.
The man was sentenced to life in a maximum- security prison, which is more reminiscent of a nice three-star hotel. His lawyer attempted to appeal the verdict, but the appeal was rejected in early 2017. Nerius himself filed a petition for his deportation and transfer to a prison in his homeland. The reasons for this decision are unknown.
Lithuanian prisons are very different from Swedish ones, for the worse. However, the court decided to grant his request. After all, providing comfortable prison conditions costs Swedish taxpayers several hundred dollars a day for each individual criminal. Later that year, his motives became clear.
He filed an appeal in a Lithuanian court, and his sentence was reduced from life to 15 years. However, the killer did not have long to rejoice. A few weeks later, the appellate court overturned this decision. Inerius was again forced to spend his entire life in prison, only now he did not have the opportunity to return to the comfortable Swedish cell.
Five years later, in August 2022, Nerius faced another downside of the transfer to a Lithuanian prison. While prisoners were being transferred to another building, one of them attacked a man behind a point. Nerius received serious cuts and died on the way to the hospital. As for his wife, the question of her involvement has still not been completely ruled out.
Police noted that there is practically no likelihood of her direct participation in the kidnapping or murder, since in this case, experts would have to find her DNA on Lisa’s clothes or belongings. However, it cannot be ruled out that she knew about her husband’s crime and helped him hide from justice by providing lies. Nerius’s younger brother also raises questions.
Cafe employees said that they saw two men standing near the barn and watching them, considering that one of them was most likely Nerius himself, the first should have been his brother. However, the man’s DNA was not found either in the barn itself or on Lisa’s clothes. What makes his participation in the murder It’s unlikely. Perhaps he and his older brother really did watch the young female employees and even discussed some indecent things, but only Nerrius decided to commit such atrocities.
