A Danish true crime podcast has brought renewed attention to one of Scandinavia's most disturbing unsolved cases: three bodies discovered at an abandoned campground in a remote military zone on Denmark's west coast. The grim discovery was made by vacationing families who stumbled upon human remains in various states of decomposition.

Philip Patrick Westh, a 33-year-old Danish marketing manager, was found guilty on 28 June 2024 of murdering 17-year-old Emilie Meng, who disappeared from Korsør station in July 2016. A jury at Næstved Court House delivered a unanimous verdict, sentencing Westh to life imprisonment for the killing and multiple other serious crimes against minors.
