On November 29, 1970, the burned body of an unidentified woman was discovered in Isdalen Valley near Bergen, Norway. Investigators later connected her to suitcases containing multiple currencies, wigs, clothing with removed labels, and travel notes documenting movements across Europe. An autopsy determined the cause of death was carbon monoxide poisoning with phenobarbital present, and authorities officially ruled the case a suicide. Despite modern forensic testing, including 2017 isotope analysis suggesting German origins, her identity remains unknown.
