Just a quick note if you are listening to part one, I was struggling to find a case out of Southeast Asia that is similar to the Black Dhalia and was theorized that it could potentially be tied to George Hodel, that is the Manila Jigsaw murder in the Phillipines, the killing of Lucila Lalu in 1967June 23, 1996. Boston, Massachusetts. The dismembered upper body of 20-year old Karina Holmer is found inside a plastic trash bag in a dumpster. She was strangled to death before being sliced directly in half and the lower portion of her body is never recovered. Karina hails from Sweden and has spent the past three months working as an au pair for a married couple and she was last seen partying at a nightclub nearly 36 hours before she was found. Even though the investigation looks at a number of potential suspects, there is no evidence to implicate anyone. On this week’s episode of “The Path Went Chilly”, we explore a brutal unsolved crime which has often been described as Boston’s version of the Black Dahlia murder. If you have any information about this case, please contact the Boston Police Department Unsolved Homicide Unit at (617) 343-4470 or the CrimeStoppers tip line at 1-800-494-TIPS (8477).Support the show: Patreon.com/julesandashleyPatreon.com/thetrailwentcoldAdditional Reading:https://www.bostonglobe.com/2021/06/22/metro/who-killed-karina-holmer-twenty-five-years-later-swedish-nannys-grisly-murder-remains-unsolved/https://www.bostonherald.com/2022/03/30/from-the-archive-body-identified-as-swedish-nanny-karina-holmer/https://www.masslive.com/boston/2021/06/karina-holmer-cold-case-boston-police-seek-new-leads-in-brutal-1996-murder-of-20-year-old-swedish-au-pair.htmlhttps://www.newspapers.com/image/441014499/https://www.newspapers.com/image/546676252/https://www.newspapers.com/image/441015411/https://www.newspapers.com/image/441016075/https://www.newspapers.com/image/441016594/https://www.newspapers.com/image/440995729/https://www.newspapers.com/image/441018223/https://www.newspapers.com/image/441071148/https://www.newspapers.com/image/441516425/https://www.newspapers.com/image/441527386/
