LØRENSKOG — 2018 · Missing Person
The Disappearance of Anne-Elisabeth Hagen
Anne-Elisabeth Hagen, a member of one of Norway's wealthiest families, vanished from her home in Lørenskog near Oslo on the morning of 31 October 2018. A letter demanding a large ransom in cryptocurrency was found at the house. Police investigated secretly for more than two months before going public in January 2019. The inquiry later widened into a suspected kidnapping and murder; charges brought against various people were subsequently dropped. Hagen herself has never been found. In May 2026 a man in his 50s with a criminal record was charged with murder; he denies involvement. The investigation continues.
