We have had a good dialogue with the police throughout the investigation, she says to news. Tina Jørgensen was found murdered on 26 October 2000. She had then been missing since a city trip in Stavanger a month earlier. In September last year, the police announced that a man in his 50s had status as a suspect in the case. He was later charged in the case. The same man is also charged with the murder of Birgitte Tengs in 1995. Evidence was thrown away In the Tengs case, DNA evidence was decisive for the police being able to investigate the murder further. The police, on the other hand, lack evidence in the Tina case, because this was thrown away. – We would have liked to have the fitting that was thrown away, because it is clear that there is development in technology. But we are unsure whether that would have led to us being able to get DNA out of it today, police inspector Malmin told news last year.
