Polis och läkare slog fast att det rörde sig om ett självmord, men de efterlevande var inte lika övertygade. I närmare 19 år gick de och bar på denna osäkerhet i sinnet. Ja, de misstänkte till och med en bestämd person som mördare. Hur det slutade, nämligen att ortens nye polisassistent tog upp saken på nytt och vad detta slutligen ledde till, skildras i den har artikeln. Fallet visade sig småningom också ha en parallellhistoria. Samme man hade nämligen varit misstänkt for att ha begått ytterligare ett liknande mord, 26 år tidigare.

Det här är berättelsen om ett av dem.
