Show Notes
In 1970, a burned body was found in Norway's Isdalen Valley. The woman had no ID, her fingerprints were filed off, and her clothes' labels were removed. Police found coded notes, multiple passports, and traces of espionage-linked chemicals. Who was she, and who sent her?
We follow the international investigation that points to Cold War spycraft, involving Stasi, MI6, and possibly a doomed mission involving NATO secrets. This is the story of a life erased, dedicated entirely to shadow.
Hosted by Ibnul Jaif Farabi, produced by Light Knot Studios.
