– We see this jacket in connection with the disappearance case in Stavern in January, confirms operations manager Trond-Egil Groth at the South-East police district. It was at 11.15 on Saturday that the police were contacted about the discovery of a jacket on Cortinstranda in Stavern. – The reporter said that the jacket was lying on the beach. When our patrol arrived at the scene, however, the jacket was nowhere to be found, says Groth. The police are now asking people who may have seen and possibly also moved the jacket to get in touch. The operations manager confirms to news that the case referred to is the woman in her 40s who was reported missing in Stavern at the beginning of January this year. – Should fit her size Police prosecutor Ole Jacob Garder at the South-Eastern police district is leading the investigation. He is currently abroad, but confirms to news that he is aware of the jacket find. Police attorney Ole-Jacob Garder in the South-East police district.

However, we have no evidence that it belongs to her, says Garder. – Why is the jacket interesting? – In the position we are in now, such findings are naturally of interest, says the police attorney. Operations manager Groth says to VG that the jacket is interesting as it may have come in with the sea. Got more tips At 4.45pm, Groth informs news that the police have received some tips by phone in connection with the jacket discovery. – I cannot say what information we have received, but we have received a few calls after we went out with information that a jacket had been found. – Do you still have crews out to look for the jacket? – No, after we moved out to the beach and were able to ascertain that the jacket was no longer where the reporter had said, we have not physically been out looking, says the operations manager. Still charged with murdering her partner, on 2 January her partner was found dead in the couple’s shared home in Stavern. The woman, who is employed as a teacher at a primary school in Porsgrunn, was charged with murder a short time later. Despite the fact that the woman has not yet been found, and that the family’s lawyer has expressed strong dissatisfaction with the fact that she is still being charged, the police have chosen to maintain the murder charge.
