A new season of Unsolved Mysteries is finally on Netflix, which means there are six new unexplained cases to delve into.
One of the episodes, titled A Death In Oslo, explores the death of a young woman in a luxury hotel in Norway’s capital in 1995.
The woman checked into The Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel under the fake name of “Jennifer Fergate”.
Her death was officially ruled a suicide, as she’d been found with a pistol in her hands, and her room was locked from the inside.
However, there were several, seemingly innocuous details that suggested she didn’t kill herself – and that she was murdered.
In the police investigation that evening only two details were deemed strange.

Firstly, all the labels had been removed from her clothes.
Secondly, there were no relatives to notify of her death, because all the details she had provided were false – including name, phone number and address.
There were also no other items in the room to indicate who she was – such as purse, wallet or passport.
In the room the investigators did find a nearly empty bottle of men’s cologne, and a small black suitcase with 34 rounds of bullets.

Fairgate had also signed another name into the hotel – Lois Fairgate – but he had never been seen.
Both their keys were found in the room, which indicated that if Lois was real, he didn’t plan on returning.
Another strange detail was that there were no traces of blood or gun powder residue found on her hand, which would have been expected if she had pulled the trigger herself.
However, crime scene experts did say that not all people who have a self-inflicted gunshot wound will have a positive test result for blood and gunshot residue on hands.

Bernd Karger, a senior physician and lecturer at the University of Munster’s Institute of Legal medicine told VG that it indicates that she didn’t kill herself, but doesn’t prove it.
He said: “Theoretically you would find both blood and gunshot residue, but in practice you don’t always.
“For me the two negative findings are an indication that she did not shoot herself, but not proof… it is something that should be treated as a problem in the investigation.”

But another detail about the gun was curious – it was a Browning Hi-Power, which was commonly used in the military.
The 9mm pistol was manufactured in Belgium, but the serial number had been dissolved in acid.
