Very long and fascinating article:
Isdal Woman: The mystery death haunting Norway for 46 years
By Helier Cheung BBC News, Bergen
In November 1970, the badly burnt body of a woman was found in a remote spot in Norway's Isdalen valley.
Someone had cut the labels off her clothes, and scraped distinctive marks off her belongings - as if to stop her from being identified.
And as police started investigating her death, they uncovered a trail of coded messages, disguises, and fake identities - but never cracked the case.
Forty-six years later, Norwegian police and NRK journalists have decided to reopen the investigation.
This is the story of the Isdal Woman - and the perplexing trail of clues she left behind.

Bergen is the only Norwegian city I've been to, but since I was there in hospital overnight I didn't see much of the place!
