One report came from the mother of a boy who was in the Home Guard Youth Division with Jan Helge. This woman told police that her son had been running in Banahaya and bumped into Jan Helge while he was sitting by a tree. Her son described Jan Helge as acting strangely in that he seemed like he was, quote, about to lose it, end quote.

The 19-year-old declined an invitation to join his home guard buddy for a run, and when the two parted ways, he remained sitting alone by the tree. On June 4th, 16 days after the murders, the police asked Jan Helge and Viggo to come into the police station for questioning.

The young men agreed to talk, but when they gave their statements, law enforcement began to notice a few differences between the stories they'd provided to police on May 22nd during the door knock interviews and the version of events they were presently giving. For example, Vigo told police during his sit-down interview that he'd been at his house from 6 to 9 o'clock on Friday, May 19th.

For example, Vigo told police during his sit-down interview that he'd been at his house from 6 to 9 o'clock on Friday, May 19th.
But in his first chat with police, he'd said he was home the entire night. So this deviation from his previous statement made authorities side-eye him. When given the chance to clarify if he'd been in Banahaya at all on May 19th, he told them he hadn't been.

Jan Helge's story, the first time he'd been questioned, was that he'd started hanging out with Vigo around 8 o'clock on the evening of the crime. However, during his sit-down interview with police, he said he'd been at the entrance to Banahaya a few hours before going to Vigo's house.

He said he'd been at the park because the Home Guard Youth Division usually met for a training run every Friday from 6 to 8 p.m. However, on Friday, May 19th, none of his buddies had shown up for the scheduled exercise, so he'd done it by himself.

He told investigators that he'd run north in the park, passed some fields and lakes, then returned via the same route and eventually ended at Vigo's house in Egg. Investigators weren't sure if the young men were being 100% honest with them, though. But without anything more incriminating to confront them with, the police once again had to let their suspicions about them lay.

But that didn't last long, because shortly after that, detectives heard from a witness who'd been walking in the park at 6.30 p.m. on the night of the crimes. This witness told investigators that they'd seen a young man emerge from the woods near the football field adjacent to Egg, who seemed to be searching for something.

They told police that the mysterious figure appeared to be between 18 and 20 years old. And after seeing him the first time near the football field, they bumped into him again on the west side of the trail, closer to the swimming lakes. Authorities showed this witness a photo array of 10 young men. And wouldn't you know it, he picked out Jan Helge's picture without hesitation.
