– We believe that there is a preponderance of probability that Østbø was exposed to something criminal, says police prosecutor Anette Berger in Kripos to the newspaper. Early on, the local police considered it most likely that the 20-year-old had drowned. – That hypothesis has not been weakened, but the investigation has strengthened the other hypothesis, says Berger. In November, she traveled with two detectives to Kripos to Sedgefield. The background to the trip was new witness interviews that Kripos wanted to carry out. The man who is now suspected of murder died in a traffic accident some time after Marie disappeared. Kripos has been to Sedgefield several times to assist the South African police. Last seen on a beach Østbøl was last seen on a beach in Sedgefield in South Africa in April 2018. There must have been a storm in the area that evening. She was traveling with a group of international students, who became concerned when she did not come to supper with the others in the evening. Police inspector Malcolm Pojie states that they found a pair of shoes, a cap and mobile phone on the beach after the disappearance. All the assets belong to Marie.
