On Midsummer, 2003, in Pirkkala, Finland, the police received a call from a woman who had been told about a murder in which a man had been dismembered. It wasn’t until the second call, which was from a witness to this horrendous crime, that officers began to take the report seriously. These calls would lead investigators down a path to the discovery of atrocious and shocking crimes.
