I was thinking of islands with guano loading facilities.
:smack: Wrong movie. But once I thought of Ursula who I first encountered emerging from that water at an impressionable age (me not her), the rest of my post was on autopilot. Mmmm Ursula.
Who wiki says has aged like most other Hollywood sex kittens: badly with ever worse plastic surgery. Yecch! Scary!!
My ears are burning.
The submariner has said that the journalist died in an “accident” aboard his submarine. So, of course, he then “buried” her at sea in Køge Bay, which lies immediately south of Copenhagen. :dubious:
This article includes a list of convictions (including some in the US) of murders for which no body was found Murder conviction without a body - Wikipedia
A recent case is this one Hans Reiser - Wikipedia (note, the body was found after conviction).
I’m sure it was a lovely service. Pity there wasn’t time to invite the family.
I had hoped that Peter Madsen was innocent and there was a simple explanation for everything.
I wonder how the thoughts run from “Oh dear, Kim fell down the ladder” to “Better bury her and destroy the submarine”.
Okay. We’re done. I hope he can be locked up forever. So terrible.
If he goes to jail, maybe he can escape by building a submarine in the sewer.
Forever is unlikely in a Nordic country, unless he is declared insane and gets involuntary commitment and subsequently never recovers from whatever it is that makes him build submarines and murder reporters.
The UC3 Nautilus submarine has no torpedo tubes, so Madsen would have had to have brought the boat to the surface in order to dispose of the body.
According to its Wikipedia page, the submarine has a crew of between four and eight. It also says that the crew had been due to sail on a trip in the sub, until it was cancelled the evening before by Madden, who then went on his own private voyage with journalist Wall.
I’m not a submariner, but the Nautilus looks like a fair-sized boat. How easy or practical is it for a single crewsperson to take on the duties of a 4-8 person crew to take a submarine out in the open sea? Not suggesting anything nefarious or that anyone else was aboard, just interested in the practicalities of one person taking a submarine out for a spin, so to speak. I’m wondering if perhaps there are any submariners, or ex-submariners, on this board who might be able to offer some insight.
Danish police has confirmed a female body has been found in the sea – sans head and limbs…:eek:
Just when you think you’ve heard The Craziest Fucking Story Ever, along comes some old bullshit like this.
I mean, really.
And just think- they’re saying “it’s too early to tell” if the freakin’ headless torso is the missing journalist.
Imagine if it wasn’t… :eek:
Looking more and more like a Scandinavian murder mystery.
How did the skipper survive the scuttling of the sub? Lifeboat? I confess I didn’t read the article.
Madsen must be mounting one of the weakest criminal defenses in legal history.
To be fair, it’s possible that it could be missing some bits because a human body is, at the end of the day, yummy delicious food for all the creatures of the sea.
Well, it was a bad accident.
Madsen: She ran and threw herself on my chainsaw! I swear, sir!
Police: Why did you have a running chainsaw in a submarine?
Madsen: The chainsaw was rabid, sir! Running around all over the place on its own. It jumped up on me, and I was lucky enough just to grab the handle!
I’ve been seeing bits and pieces of this story float to the top of the AP news feed all day and I gotta say: this is some crazy fucked up shit that went on here, y’all.
