June 5th, 1960 – Three teenagers were found murdered along Lake Bodom, in Finland close to the city of Espoo. Maila Irmeli Björklund and Anja Tuulikki, two 15-year-old girls, along with 18-year-old Seppo Antero Boisman, were brutally stabbed with a knife and bludgeoned to death. The fourth teenager, an 18-year-old male, Nils Wilhelm Gustafsson, was left barely alive and supposedly clueless to what could've happened.

Two boys birdwatching in the distance claimed to see a blonde man walking from the campsite. The police did not correctly seal the crime scene, causing much contamination of evidence, meaning that there wasn't a lot of clear evidence to point to a certain suspect.

Even though Gustafsson's shoes, footprints, and other personal belongings were found, it was not until years later that Gustafsson was finally named a suspect. Coincidentally, it Gustafsson's girlfriend, Björklund, who was the most brutally murdered, Gustafsson was found on top of the tent, and he'd suddenly forgotten everything that he had seen. But, in 2005, Gustafsson was acquitted of all charges, leaving the case unsolved.
