One minute between the camera and death

One minute between the camera and death: The serial murder of Anders Eklund A new camera captures two images with sixty seconds in between: a girl on a bicycle and the red car following her. The photographer does not know that he has just documented the last minute of Engla Joglund. Anders Eklund, a Swedish truck driver, had remained invisible for eight years - responsible for at least two confirmed homicides, possibly more across Europe. In this episode, we explore how a sixty-second photographic coincidence linked two murders separated by eight years, how Swedish police overlooked direct warnings in 2006-2007, and how the DNA of a victim from 2000 finally identified the serial killer in 2008. The investigation reveals a pattern of escalating sexual violence, an unexplained Norwegian wallet, and questions about how many additional victims Eklund left unresolved during his travels across Europe. Victim: Engla Joglund and Pernilla Hellgren Date: June 4, 2000, and April 5, 2008 Location: Falun and Härtsön, Sweden Status: Sentenced to life imprisonment, October 6, 2008 - A witness in 2000 described a man waiting under a bridge where Pernilla Hellgren was murdered; eight years later, the same man killed a ten-year-old girl. - Eklund's DNA was not matched with the evidence from Hellgren until 2008, despite having been criminally registered since 1997 for attempted rape. - Eklund's acquaintances alerted the police in 2007 about aggressive sexual behavior; the investigation was dismissed months before Engla's murder. - A women's wallet with Norwegian money was found at Eklund's home; its owner was never identified nor linked to disappearances in Norway.
