How much of The Lørenskog Disappearance is true?
The Lørenskog Disappearance does dive deep into Anne-Elisabeth Hagen’s disappearance which really took place in Norway, back in 2019. On the 31st of October, Tom Hagen reported to local authorities when he found his wife missing at home with a ransom note left behind.
The case was complicated as there was no forced entry, although the Hagen’s hardly locked doors. After stumbling across a number of theories, the cops came to the conclusion that Tom Hagen himself might have orchestrated the kidnapping as their marriage was on brink of divorce, which may result in him losing half of his fortune.
Hagen was released 11 days after the arrest and remains under the radar of the authorities. Another 30-year-old man, Ole Henrik Golf, was also arrested as his identity was used for several crypto accounts, one of them for ransom. The cops found out that the identity was fake and used by many online.
The Lørenskog Disappearance encompasses each and every theory brought to the table for the case which even today remains unsolved. Keeping the dramatic characters and their arcs aside, The Lørenskog Disappearance stays true to the events that transpired during the investigation of Anne-Elisabeth Hagen’s kidnapping.
