Delia D'Ambra

A short distance away from the snap twig, he saw what he believed was an unusual area of elevation on the ground covered in vegetation. To him, the disturbed earth appeared to be man-made, and when he approached it and lifted up some branches, he discovered a gruesome sight that confirmed his worst suspicions. There, underneath all the debris, were the dead bodies of Lena and Stina Sophia.

A few hours after the discovery of the girls' bodies, the Christian Sun Police held a press conference and delivered the heartbreaking news to the media. The investigators' missing persons case had officially become a homicide investigation.

Back at the crime scene, detectives called in a specialized forensic unit from the National Criminal Investigation Service, also known as NCIS, to help process the scene and remove the girls' bodies. But there was a bit of a snag. That special forensic team wouldn't be able to get to Banahaya until the following morning, Monday, May 22nd.

So while everyone waited, Stein Borgersen, the outdoorsman who'd found the bodies, ordered 70 of his team members to keep watch over the burial site overnight to make sure no one disturbed the bodies or contaminated the crime scene. When Monday morning came around, teams were finally able to remove Lena and Stina Sofia's bodies from the park, and they transported them for autopsies.

While investigators waited for those examinations to conclude, they got to work trying to understand the crime scene itself. But once again, they ran into some logistical challenges. You see, Sunday night into Monday morning, rainy weather had moved into the area.

So in an attempt to preserve potential evidence, the police used an officer's personal tarp to cover the burial site where Stina Sofia and Lena had been hidden. I'd imagine that when that detail leaked to the press, journalists speculated that the TARP situation might not have been the best call by the police.

You know, considering the fact that it had been used and was a personal possession of one of the officers. But used TARP or not, the NCIS team processed the area where the girls' bodies had been found. And it became evident right away that whoever had put them there made a concerted effort to conceal their bodies from view.

The killer or killers had laid lots of twigs and vegetation over top of them, which folks at the scene believed would have taken some time to do. The location of the burial site was roughly 75 meters off the designated trail that ran alongside the west side of Lake No. 2, so not exactly close to Lake No. 3, which is where the girls were supposed to have been swimming.

To me, that indicates that their attacker or attackers forced them to that location or got them there somehow. Because it was a spot they had not told Stina Sofia's father they were planning to go to. Anyway, a few meters away from where they'd been buried, investigators found another suspicious location in the forest.

There was a large amount of blood on the ground there, which indicated to authorities that the murders and burial had occurred in separate locations. Investigators thoroughly collected physical evidence from all of these areas and even cut out a small section of the forest floor to examine later on for traces of hair or other potentially relevant debris.
