– The teeth of course a hope that this can get a happy outcome. At the same time, there is no guarantee that this is the real perpetrators who are behind. It is clear that once one has called for contact, so there may be others who make use of the opportunity.
the Family’s lawyer had not given a press conference since the matter became known, and it is the police that has previously been informed about the further steps in the matter. Horst believes that it is reasonable that today’s message came from the assistance of counsel, and not the police.
– the Counterparty wants to keep the police outside. It to maintain a dialogue with a view to the exchange or disclosure, it is first and foremost a family or a counsel for them that should stand for, ” says Horst.
Can be diversion
During the press conference selected a lawyer Holden to repeat the main idea in English.
There may be people who do not speak English that follow this press conference, ” said Holden.
Horst says this is reasonable, and call it a smart maneuver.
– It is well English this limited communication has been going on, and it may be that those who are behind do not necessarily speak English. Many Norwegian media have also posted English-language articles, as this is of interest for abroad.
at the same time, the use of English or broken English be a diversion or an attempt to cover over the tracks, says Horst.
– You have seen cases of bank robbery where the robbers spoke English, even though they are Norwegian, ” he says.

– in General, we should use languages other than English in such cases. When the prisoners one also up to people who are not good in English, but is resident here, ” says the former polititoppen to the Newspaper.
The communication the any the kidnappers have with the relatives and the police is very special, believe Abrahamsen.
The big question is what kind of people are behind these messages and how real this is.
Highly curious
Privatetterforskeren emphasizes that he does not know anything other than what is brought up in the news.
” But for me, the whole story which is very strange in relation to that it has taken so long. There is a danger that other criminals could interfere with the claims in the hope of success. But here the signaling family and police that they need to get the heartbeat, ” says Abrahamsen.
Search for the track in Go: – Can be objects
How this is resolved is of course a hard nut for the police, he adds.
Abrahamsen explains that it is not unusual that other criminal “hanging on”.
– This we have seen examples of other places in the world.
– Increases the recent communication the probability that this is a real kidnapping and not something else?
– It’s too early for outsiders to say anything about. How this signal is interpreted and whether it is associated with the first communication, is something the police and the assistance of counsel keeps close to her chest. There they must do if they are to succeed.
