This audiobook will explore how the mind of serial killers work, different types of kidnapping, and what to do when your loved one is missing.

Under litet drygt 16 timmar - med början på kvällen den 8 juni 1995 - förövade tre unga män en serie grova brott som i flera avseenden saknar motstycke. Trion genomförde en vettlös "bärsärkargång" som startade i Göteborg och drabbade sammanlagt 28 personer.

One second he was there; the next, gone. Taken, forever, without any clue as to how or why - until a family friend developed their vacation photos.

Drømmen om en luksustilværelse med villa, bil til alle voksne familiemedlemmer og mange kostbare bekendtskaber har ofte været den direkte anledning til, at mennesker med en lovende fremtid er faldet for fristelsen til at misbruge den tillid, som deres hidtil flittige stræben har skabt for dem hos deres arbejdsgivere, for derved hurtigere at opfylde drømmen, hvorved det hele blev ødelagt.

It was like thick darkness during the day; not an eclipse that is predicted months and days ahead, but an unexpected event, very unexpected. The fact that one serves God Almighty does not exempt him from problems, suffering etc. Job in the Bible was a righteous man, yet, he had his own share of tribulations. It is in such situations that God demonstrates his power. Such situations can lead one to an extreme: either to adhere more closely to God, or to have doubts about God and his ability to perform.
