The two of them had met up around 6 o'clock at the playground near the park entrance by egg so Vigo could get the spare key to his shed, and then by 6.05 p.m. they'd parted ways. Jan Helge said he'd then gone for a run north and Vigo had cycled home. When their interviews with police wrapped up, authorities were more convinced than ever that the young men were hiding something.

So they decided to see if they could search their homes and Vigo's backyard shed and egg to determine if it held any clues that might be related to the murders. The only problem was investigators couldn't physically carry out the search without charging Vigo or Jan Helge with a crime.

Interestingly, the police found a way around that legal hurdle by resurrecting a previous criminal investigation that had involved Vigo. Turns out, about 16 months before Stina Sofia and Lena's murders, Vigo had been suspected of peeping into a woman's windows in his neighborhood. He eventually came clean about that crime and was said to be remorseful for his actions.

But because it was an unresolved criminal case, that allowed the police a way to legally search his shed. And when they did, what they found inside was disturbing. According to the docuseries, The Banahaya Killings, when authorities got a look inside Vigo's backyard shed and egg, they found a trove of pornographic videos, magazines, violent movies, and adult toys.

There was also a toolbox with a couple of knives in it, which I imagine seemed rather ominous to police detectives, considering the fact that Stina Sofia and Lena had both been stabbed and the murder weapon had never been found.

A local journalist who spoke with the producers for the documentary described Vigo's shed as less of a utility shed and more of like an old potato cellar that had been converted into a man cave of sorts. And it was even reported that he lived in it.

What the contents of the shed communicated to members of law enforcement who were eyeing him and Jan Helga for the Banahaya murders was that he was a young man who liked knives and was obsessed with sex.

Unfortunately, even after all the interviews police had done with the young men and the results of the shed search, there still wasn't enough physical evidence for detectives to arrest them for the crime. Now, don't get me wrong, there were definitely some investigators who were chomping at the bit to slap cuffs on Vigo and Jan Helge.

But there were also others, who I guess had more say, who knew the case likely wouldn't hold up in court. That changed though just a few weeks later in August, three months after the murders. At that time, the police were still in the process of trying to determine the identity of the pubic hair that had been found on one of the victims.

They were certain it had come from the perpetrator, but without a DNA match, the hair's true source remained a mystery. Thankfully, they got their answer a few weeks later in early September, when test results for the hair in question came back as a match for none other than Jan Helge.
