250: Nordic Campsite Killings 1: The Tulilathi Murders

July 1959. Two young women on a cycling holiday vanished from a Finnish campsite. Eine Nyyssönen, 21, and Riitta Pakkanen, 23, were found buried in a bog three weeks later, marked by a sharpened stick. Over 60 years later, this brutal double murder remains unsolved.
