Scandinavian Star is the biggest unsolved Scandinavian murder mystery in recent times. The night of April 7th 1990, 159 people lose their lives as the result of a string of arsons set on the cruise ship Scandinavian Star, as it’s sailing between Norway and Denmark. This series will investigate fatal failures from the authorities, leading to the case never being solved despite numerous investigations. The Norwegian and Danish authorities evidently commit a series of mistakes, in what turns out to be a complicated and international case.
