In November 1984 a Swedish journalist went missing. She was working for
Swedish Television and doing investigations on trafficking of high-technology and arms from Sweden to DDR. She and her girlfriend (Lena Gräns) were
eventually found dead in her girlfriends car, a white Renault. The car was found at the bottom of a canal in Stockholm 29 maj 1985. It was revealed in
2003 that they were murdered by Stasi (the secret police of East Germany). Up to 2003 the official story
from the Swedish government was that they died in an accident. However, nobody believed it was an accident. It was almost impossible to reconstruct an
accident on the spot where the car was found, and Cats who didn´t have a drivings licence was found in the drivers seat of her girlfriends car. The
official story claimed that they found the car with the two women by coincident during an exercise. This was not true either. In an interview with a
Swedish newspaper in 1997, the head of the investigation (Eric Skoglund) said he told the Swedish military (without asking his bosses first) to look
for the car right on the spot where they found it. He said he did this after getting a tip from a psychic Norwegian woman, Anna Elisabeth Westerlund.
Her tip turned out to be "spot on". It was revealed in 2003 that Stasi had poisoned the two women,
placed them inside the car and dumped the car into the water. They came too close to the truth...

The Swedish police, who had been working from several hypothetical theories, closed the case as an "accident".[1] At the time of her disappearance, Falck, who was employed as a reporter for the Swedish public service television news programme Rapport, was investigating a major scandal comprising the Swedish company ASEA and smuggling of weapons to communist states in Eastern Europe.[2] Prior to her disappearance, Falck had told her work-mates and her fiancé (the author Lasse Strömstedt) that she was about to reveal "something big".[2]
