Swedish journalist’s torso found in submarine death mystery
By JAN M. OLSEN
Associated Press
COPENHAGEN,
Denmark — Journalist Kim
Wall had reported on conflicts,
crises and natural disasters
around the world. Earlier
this month, she set out to sea
from laid-back Copenhagen
for a story about an eccentric
Danish inventor and his
home-made submarine.
She never returned. On
Wednesday, police confirmed
that Wall’s headless torso
had been found on a beach
near the Danish capital. The
inventor, Peter Madsen, has
been arrested on suspicion of
killing her.Wall, 30, was last
seen alive on the evening of
Aug. 10 on Madsen’s subma-
rine, named UC3 Nautilus.
The freelance journalist’s
family says she was working
on a story about Madsen, 46,
a celebrity entrepreneur and
engineer who dreamed of
launching a manned space
mission.
Early the next day, Wall’s
boyfriend
reported
her
missing. Madsen was rescued
from his sinking vessel south
of Copenhagen hours later.
Wall was nowhere to be found.
Madsen, who remains in
police custody on suspicion
of manslaughter, initially told
police he had let Wall off on
an island several hours into
the trip. Later, he said she had
died accidentally and he had
“buried” her at sea.
On Monday, a cyclist
discovered a torso on a beach
on Copenhagen’s southern
Amager island, near where
Wall was believed to have
died. Copenhagen police said
Tuesday that the body’s head,
arms and legs had “deliber-
ately been cut off.”
Copenhagen police inves-
tigator Jens Moeller Jensen
told reporters Wednesday that
DNA tests had confirmed the
torso was Wall’s.
Dried blood found inside
the submarine was also a
match to DNA obtained from
Wall’s toothbrush and hair-
brush, he said.
Moeller Jensen said the
torso “washed ashore after
having been at sea for a
while,” and was attached to a
piece of metal “likely with the
purpose to make it sink.”
The investigator said
marks on the torso indicated
that someone had tried to
press air out of the body so
that it wouldn’t float.
The cause of the journalist’s
death is not yet known, police
said. They are still looking for
the rest of her body.
Madsen’s defense lawyer
said her client still maintains
that Wall died accidentally,
and that the discovery of her
torso doesn’t mean he’s guilty
of killing her.
“It doesn’t change my
client’s explanation that an

they prepare to move a headless body of a woman that was found near Amager,
Denmark, in the Baltic Sea where a missing Swedish journalist is believed to have
died on a privately built submarine earlier this month . The headless torso found on
a beach near Amager has been identified as that of missing Swedish journalist Kim
Wall, Danish police said Wednesday.
“Wall’s death
on a seemingly
low-risk assign-
ment underscores
the dangers that
journalists face
around the world
every day.”

accident happened,” Betina
Hald Engmark told Danish
tabloid BT.
“No matter what, we find it
very positive that she has been
found now,” she added.
Wall’s boyfriend alerted
authorities early on Aug. 11
that the 40-ton, nearly 60-foot-
long sub hadn’t returned from
a test run.
The Danish navy launched
a rescue operation, scrambling
two helicopters and three
ships for the search.
The navy said the sub had
been seen sailing, but sank
shortly afterward. Madsen
was picked up by a private
boat.
Police say they believe
Madsen deliberately scuttled
the submarine. Authorities
later found it and brought it
onto land for investigation.
A self-taught aerospace
engineer, Madsen was one of
a group of entrepreneurs who
founded Copenhagen Subor-
bitals, a private consortium to
develop and construct subma-
rines and manned spacecraft.
Madsen made headlines
when he launched the Nautilus
— billed as the world’s largest
privately built sub — on May
3, 2008.

In 2011, Copenhagen
Suborbitals
launched
a
homemade 30-foot rocket five
miles into the sky over the
Baltic Sea, a step toward its
unrealized goal of launching a
person into space.
The group split in 2014, and
Nautilus is currently owned
by Madsen’s company Rocket
Madsen Space Lab, billed on
its website as “a place where
nothing is impossible and
where science and innovation
meet practical engineering.”
Wall grew up in southern
Sweden, just across a strait
from Copenhagen. She studied
at the Sorbonne university in
Paris, the London School of
Economics and at Columbia
University in New York, grad-
uating with a master’s degree
in journalism in 2013.
She lived in New York
and Beijing, her family said,
and had written for The New
York Times, The Guardian,
the South China Morning
Post and Vice Magazine,
among other publications. She
had reported from Cuba, Sri
Lanka, Uganda, China and the
Marshall Islands.
Her family said that she had
worked in many dangerous
places as a journalist, and it
was unimaginable “something
could happen ... just a few
miles from the childhood
home.”
In an email to The Asso-
ciated Press, the family said
it received the confirmation
of her death “with bound-
less sadness and dismay,”
adding “the tragedy has
hit not only us and other
families, but friends and
colleagues all over the
world.”
