Forgotten Girls 21/31

Kind of an odd "solution" to the crime. Louise and Eik get a tip, drive out to the forest home of Bodil (the old mistress of the house the twins lived in) and her brother, Jorgen. Jorgen, injured, became a sexual deviant.  The girls were taken to serve as his sex slaves, I guess, for lack of better expression, though it was really just one girl.  L & E find Mette, tied up and wounded from battering her own head.  Jorgen is out in the woods, a danger to rape more women and to kill the missing jogger. Bodil is oddly passive. Mette, the surviving twin, is reunited with her father.  She doesn't recognize him and his singing of childhood songs--Twinkle, Twinkle--does no good.

Strange mystery in that there is no sense of a build up of clues.  Just a breakthrew and a discovery.

I'm assuming the remaining chapters will be tracking down Jorgen.
Jorgen and Bodil, brother and sister, have passed themselves off as husband and wife.

He became one of the most influential and admired British generals after a series of successes in Canada, West Africa, and Egypt, followed by a central role in modernizing the British Army in promoting efficiency. He served in Burma, the  Crimean War , the  Indian Mutiny , China, Canada and widely throughout Africa—including his  Ashanti  campaign (18...
