Garrett, do you have your 10 seconds for this week? Well, I'm old. I did have a birthday this week, so I guess that can be my 10 seconds and anniversary. Well, kind of. Anniversary was the week before. Yeah. But we do want to say thank you for all the birthday messages that we received on Instagram. It was really fun and awesome. And we were flooded with love. And so it was an awesome birthday for Garrett.

We did a poll about doing an update case because we have received some pretty substantial updates for some of our episodes in the past that we have done. And so instead of doing an update case this week, we are going to hold off. I'm going to do a week full of updates. I'm actually driving to Idaho to kind of get some more specific updates about the Daybell case. That's JJ and Tylee. I will also do like a quick brief.

brief summary of all the cases that we're going to do an update for. So that will be next week. So our update case is coming next week. We actually have quite a few with some pretty good updates. So yeah, this week we are just going to stick to our planned schedule and to our case that was suggested by Rebecca Aslan. So thank you, Rebecca, for sending this in.

Our case sources this week are a documentary on YouTube, Reddit, and T-R-C-R-M-A-D-D-C-T-N on Tumblr. Okay, so these all are kind of some weird things. And that's because our case this week is from out of the country.

And I was having a really, really hard time finding sources that were translated for me. I personally cannot read or understand Swedish. And so this case is from Sweden. So I had to use sources that were already translated over. That being said, some of the details might be mixed up or whatever, just due to translation errors.

And also, I looked up the names and how to say them. But if I get them wrong, please, I'm so sorry. I'm trying really hard. I just wanted to say I've known a couple of people from Sweden. And I feel like they speak like four or five different languages. Literally. It's crazy. Yeah. Some of the sources might not even have been Swedish. But yeah, it was just definitely a language I didn't recognize or understand or could read.

- Our case this week takes place in Sweden. A young girl named Jona Henningsen was born in 1989 in Sweden. She's the youngest of four children. As a child, Jona loved horses and would continue to throughout her growing years as well as she began competing when she came of age with horses.

Which, fun fact, Garrett's little sisters actually compete riding horses, correct? They do. Yeah, and they have a couple competitions coming up, so that's fun. I've never actually watched one, so I'm kind of excited to see what that's like. Yeah. Her parents describe her as calm, and she was a well-behaved child. They didn't have much issues with her. In the early 2000s, Yona moved to a town in the south of Sweden when her mother...

And her father got divorced. So she moved with her mother to a town in south of Sweden. Jona still saw her father sometimes and actually ended up getting along well with her mother's new boyfriend. So everything was kind of flowing smoothly in this divorce. She grows up and on June 6th, 2008, Jona graduates with honors and she has ambitions to become a veterinarian,

I mean, she loves horses or a doctor. She ends up living with her father for a bit after graduation, but then moves out on her own into a new apartment down the street. In 2010, Yona begins working as a childcare teacher. And in the summer of 2013, Yona begins hanging out with a guy named Jonas. Yona and Jonas meet at a nightclub. And a few months later, they actually begin officially dating. So she's kind of just...

She's had a couple relationships after high school. She had a serious one in high school. She had another serious one that was kind of toxic after high school. So this is like her third super serious relationship that she's about to get into. She immediately falls in love with Jonas and like a sickening toxic love with Jonas. Like he she couldn't breathe without him type love. But he doesn't quite feel the same intensity for Yonah.

Their relationship was an on-again, off-again type for about a year, but it was always Jonah always ending it and Yona always making sure that they got back together.

Jonas says that the relationship was toxic and hard from the beginning, really because Yona would get jealous over anything and would become irate, shouting and screaming about it. Like, think about all of these past stories we talk about with a super toxic relationship. Same situation here. It was during the first year of their turbulent dating that Yona became pregnant.

was Jonas's baby. And she never planned on keeping the baby actually, but when she told Jonas about the pregnancy, he was completely against it. Like, "We're not keeping the baby, nothing." - Okay. - And this ended up hurting Jonas's feelings really bad, even though she also didn't want to keep the baby because she felt like this meant that he didn't see her as long-term. Like, why did he want her to terminate the pregnancy so bad?

Yona ended up telling Jonas that she went ahead and got an abortion, although she hadn't. Oh, wow. So she's like, okay, I did it, even though she hadn't. And she wanted control of the pregnancy and was still upset that he was so against it. So this was her way of being like,

I control this, you know? But a couple weeks later, Yona miscarried the baby or so she thinks. And although Jonas thought that Yona's pain and sadness was due to an abortion, it actually ended up being like a good time for the couple because Yona was like,

hurting and sad that she had lost the baby. And Jonas was like, thank you so much for aborting the baby. And so they ended up like actually cohesively being okay during this time. Jonas was loving and caring towards Yona as she healed from the miscarriage that he thought was an abortion. And actually I did read on some sources that some people think she made the whole pregnancy up and the miscarriage as well. Just to like...

Get him to stick around. Does that make sense? Yeah, yeah. So when he was like in an abortion, she was upset and then said she miscarried. I'm not sure what the truth is there because that might just be speculation. So there's no like confirmed sources there? No, of like whether she lied about it or not. Okay. She says though, she says that she didn't lie about it, that she actually had a miscarriage. Got it. It was actually around this time though that Jonas began reconnecting with an old family friend named Lovisa.

And when Yona found out about the newly kindled friendship, she was not having it. Remember, she's like jealous. She asked Jonas to stop talking to Lovisa immediately. She was like, no, we're not doing this. Jonas obliged, telling Yona that he wouldn't speak to Lovisa anymore. They were just friends, but he wasn't going to speak to her anymore. But we kind of all know how that goes, especially because he was unhappy in his relationship with Yona. Okay.

Lovisa was one of his best friends on Snapchat. And I don't know if you remember, but at this time, around this time, there was like three best friends Snapchats. And that's like who you Snapchat. So I was out of Snapchat because I was gone. You were living in Spain. I was in Spain and I didn't use Snapchat. And so I remember coming back and everyone was like, best friends. And I was like, what are you guys talking about? It was such a big deal. I actually remember like having a boyfriend in high school and being like, I got a

steer clear of who's on my Snapchat best friends because that could get you in trouble easily. That seems so toxic. It is. It was like a big deal. Like Snapchat best friends was the way you caught someone cheating, which is why I think it's just ironic that this is how she realized he was still talking to Lovisa.

So the triangle that was going on was actually a love triangle. Although Jonas and Lovisa had started off as friends, they quickly began having a relationship together, a sexual relationship. And all of this came to head one night when Yona, Lovisa and Jonas all ended up at the same club. OK, so all three of them end up at the same club.

And actually, Yona and Lovisa begin talking like they're like, hey, I know you exist. You know, I exist. And they decide it's time to confront Jonas and make him choose one of them. What? Yeah. So instead of being like, hey, girl, we're dating the same guy. Let's.

dump him together just holding hands the club all right Jonas all right Jonas it's time who do you want yeah yeah exactly so there would no longer be two girlfriends in the picture for Jonas they were going to confront him Jonas had told Lovisa that he was going to be with her and never and end everything with Yona but he had also basically said the same thing to Yona about Lovisa so they go up to him and they're like that's it choose which one of us is it going to be

Jonas told them that night he couldn't pick. He didn't know which one he loved more, so he would continue to date both. What in the world? This is crazy. Insane. So Jonas left the club with his friends. Keep in mind, they're like at a club, so they're drunk. This feels so like high school. I don't know if high, like just immature. All this just seems kind of immature. So Jonas leaves the club with his friends and Jona and Lovisa stay back at the club and talk.

For about an hour, just about everything. This is what he says to me. This is what we do. And Luis is like, well, this is what he says to me. And this is what we do. And they're both really sad leaving the club because they realize that they both are in love with the same guy. Yeah. And he has absolutely no intention of picking one of them. And they're both scared that they're going to be the girl he doesn't pick, which is funny because I feel like I would be.

turned away if I felt like a guy was choosing between me and another girl. And they were like, no, we will fight this to the death. Like we will be one of the girls he picks. Yona took Jonas's response to mean that she would now have to compete and fight for his love.

which she was not opposed to doing. Remember, she is the jealous type. She is the rageful type. So she began obsessively doing all she could to keep Jonas around and picking her, choosing her, loving her. Remembering how nice, you didn't get that reference. No, I did not. It's from Grey's Anatomy. She's like, pick me, choose me, love me. Yeah, I did not get that at all. I said, okay, keep going. I

I know, I said it expecting you to laugh. Yeah. So she began obsessively doing all she could to keep Jonas around, remembering how nice he had been after her miscarriage, which he thought was an abortion. Yona decided to slice her own stomach open and then stitch it back up.

What? So she could then tell Jonas that she had a major operation and could he please come over to help her heal like he had when she had had the abortion miscarriage. Okay. Yeah. And there was some speculation that maybe this happened before the abortion. And so then maybe she lied about the abortion. But either way, she full on lied about this surgery. There was no actual surgery. She literally took a knife, cut open her stomach.

So that just so that he would love her. Okay. Jonas reacted exactly how he had with the abortion. He came over, he gave her love and care. Her bad behavior was being unknowingly rewarded. Yeah. And Jonas was telling her, you know, I'm cutting it quits with Lovisa. I love you. I'm going to stay here. I'm going to take care of you after this major operation. Like I'm all in on you. That's how this whole thing ended. The love triangle happened.

created a love crazy Yona. This was about to be taken past the point of no return. Oh, no. One night when Jonas and Yona were sleeping together, Jonas gets a call from Lovisa.

And they both wake up and he's like, oh, she's calling me. And he decides to answer it. And he takes it outside despite Yona being like, no, you just said you were done with her. Like you said she was out of the picture. Yona feels like she can't trust Jonas. And so she decides to write Lovisa on Facebook and ask her to leave them alone. So she sends Lovisa a Facebook message and is like, hey, he's picked me. He chooses me. He doesn't want you. We're together. Please leave us alone.

And Lovisa reads it, but she doesn't respond. And then she goes on to forward or show the message to Jonas. And they sit and make fun of Yona for sending the message. Like how childish. Like in person or over text? In person, I think. Like they meet up and do this. Okay.

So after this, Yona becomes lovesick. Like she can't eat. She can't sleep. She's literally physically ill because of it. Like she's throwing up every day because of this love triangle. Oh man.

For about a week, she goes into severe depression. And this whole time, she's still sleeping at Jonas's place all week. But they're fighting the whole week as well because Yona is not in a good place. Like, she can't help but bring up the fact that he still is in contact with Lovisa and that, you know, you said you would pick me. She's spiraling. Like, she's going down.

So at the end of this week for Yona and Jonas, this really toxic they've been fighting all week and she's been spiraling. Jonas tells Yona that he wants to be alone and he needs some time to think things through.

So this week that was horrible for her, instead of ending back up, she's now basically getting kicked out of Jonas's apartment where she was sleeping. And so Yona freaks out. She begins begging him to stay. No, no, no, no, no. Please, please don't do this. And he's like, no, you need to leave. And I need my keys back to the apartment.

And so for Yona, this is like, that's it. Like he's picked her. Like he's kicking me out. He doesn't want me this whole week. I've turned him away from me and now I can't go back. And so Yona clears some of her stuff out. She leaves some other stuff and then she leaves the apartment. Four days go by.

And Yona, who's 24 years old, by the way, decides to hatch a plan to scare Lovisa out of fighting for Jonas's love. So she's like, if I can't fight hard enough to win Jonas over, I'm going to scare my competition out of competing against me. So then that way he just has to pick me because I'm the only one left. So that's where her mind goes. Brutal. Yes. She was tired of the competition. She wanted him all to herself.

So early the morning of June 18th, 2014, Yona decides that she would go to Jonas's apartment while he was at work and while Lovisa was there alone. Because keep in mind, Yona has now been kicked out and Lovisa has taken her spot at the apartment. So she saw Lovisa's car in the apartment complex. So she knew that he was at work and that Lovisa was probably in there getting ready to go to work.

So when she showed up, she actually tried to get into Lovisa's car in the parking lot, but it was locked. And I don't know if she thought I'll just hide in here and then confront her. I don't know. But she tries to get in and it's locked. So then she walks up to Jonas's apartment and waits in the stairwell. So like, you know how there's like apartment doors and then stairs that go up kind of on the side. Usually she's waiting in that stairwell for Lovisa to come out.

That's so scary. Exactly. So when 22 year old Lovisa finally decides, okay, it's time to leave for work. She opens the door and she steps out and she turns around to close the door. Yona steps forward out of the stairwell and slams a hammer.

Into the side of Lovisa's head. What? Yes. So she was not here to confront. No, she was there to kill her. She was there to eliminate the competition. Oh my gosh. So she expects her to pass out. She expects Lovisa to pass out from hitting her in the head with the hammer. Yep. Lovisa does not.

Lovisa falls to the ground and begins moaning and crying. Like she just got hit in the head with a hammer. Yona drags her into the apartment that is Jonas's apartment and then into the bathroom and she covers Lovisa's mouth with a towel

with a towel because Lovisa is crying out. She's screaming for help. She's crying out. And Yona didn't plan for this. She thought that Lovisa would pass out from being hit in the head with the hammer. So by this time, the neighbors had heard the cries. Cause keep in mind, it took a second for her to hit her, drag her in, like close the door, put the towel on. The neighbors have heard the cries and they've come over to figure out what's going on. And so they begin ringing the doorbell. So Yona is inside. She just hit Lovisa.

Lovisa is screaming. Yona's trying to get her to stop and the neighbors are just incessantly ringing the doorbell to see if everything's okay. Like the pure panic and turmoil that's going on right now. Yona begins panicking, obviously, like I just said, and she begins stabbing Lovisa with a knife. Where'd she get this knife from? She brought it with her.

and the knife and more. She brought a kill kit. So she begins stabbing Lovisa with a knife and then when that's not working very well, she begins injecting her with syringes that she had filled with alcohol and sleeping pills. What? I don't understand. To me,

It feels like Yona was trying to get her to pass out, like get control of the situation. That's why she brought the hammer and just hit her once in the head. And then she thought maybe if I stab her, she'll stop crying. She didn't. So then she's like, I'm going to inject her with. Maybe if I stab her with a sharp object, she'll be quiet. So she brought all this to the apartment with her and the sleeping pills and alcohol are to knock her out, not kill her, which is why I'm confused. I'm just confused about it. You know what I mean?

Yona decides, okay, none of this is working. Like she's not passing out from the alcohol or the sleeping pill injection. So she needs a sharper knife.

And if you think about this, what is up with this, not the knife and this girl, like, but if you think about this, how did she come to that conclusion? This, she needs a sharper knife. Think about how that, like, yes, that's how the situation was so bad because it was obviously not a sharp enough knife to easily push through. So she was like, that's it. I need a sharper one. Like that makes me sick. And so she walks into Jonas's kitchen cause they're at Jonas's apartment and

In search of a knife. And then once she finds one, she goes back in and continues with the new knife that is sharper. The doorbell eventually stops ringing because no one was answering it. And Lovisa eventually stops moving and talking. I mean, she's now been injected, hit in the head, stabbed repeatedly, right?

Yona knows at this point that she has to get rid of the body because Lovisa has died.

So she leaves the apartment to head home and change clothes. And then she goes back to the apartment and then realizes that she has nothing to dispose of the body with. So she drives back to her apartment and gets some plastic bags and a saw. After retrieving the items and on the way back to Jonas's apartment, Yona gets pulled over for speeding.

Now, I don't know if this is true or not because trying to translate was hard and I couldn't find this on like an actual source. It was more just like on Tumblr or Reddit. Yeah. And so maybe this didn't happen, but I'm going to say it anyways, because if like, what are the chances of this? And it's unreal. So she just killed her lover's other lover and the body is back at the apartment where she is heading to dispose of with a plastic bag and a saw all in her car and she gets pulled over.

Apparently the cops don't notice anything unusual. They just give her the speeding ticket and Yona is off to finish what she started. So she heads back to Jonas's apartment and originally Yona tries unsuccessfully to just fit Lovisa's whole body into the plastic bag. Okay. But obviously we know that a plastic bag is not huge. You would need a body bag. And so after that doesn't work, she determines that she will in fact have to dismember Lovisa's body to transport it out of the apartment. Okay.

Now, I will say here, a female killer is pretty rare. Like, it's pretty rare for there to be a female killer. It's even rarer for a female killer to stab, hit, like, hit over the head with a hammer. Normally, it's like a gun or just in a less brutal way of killing someone. And it's even more rare for a female killer to dismember their victim. So this is, like, pretty...

Yeah. Right now, especially because Yona has no past criminal history. She has never been arrested. She has never been like arrested for being in a fight or anything like that. So it's kind of weird. It was zero to 100. Yeah.

Before leaving the apartment for good that day, Yonah writes Jonas a letter and leaves it in his apartment, like on the table. And this is what the letter says. Keep in mind, this was translated once again. So if there's like some weird funky words or whatever, that's why.

Says, hi, considering your silence towards me, I have realized that you have not chosen me. So I thought to stop by to collect my things. I was greeted by a furious Lovisa. Glad to see you've already moved on. I'll mail you your key and remove all things that might remind you of me from your apartment. I hope you and Lovisa will be very happy together. She reminds me of you when she's angry. Take care. I will always love you, Jonas. Hugs from your Yonah.

what but she had literally just killed and dismembered she just stabbed her to death yeah okay yona then walks over to the neighbor's house rings the doorbell and says okay guys i know you were came over to check on everything i'm so sorry i was actually fighting with jonas but we're fine now we ended our relationship i won't be here anymore so you don't have to worry everything's fine

So she's like trying to backtrack. Yeah. Around 2.30 p.m., she then drives Lovisa's car to work and performs a day of work with Lovisa's body parts and everything from the crime in the trunk of her own car back at Jonas's apartment.

So she had actually cut her palm during the struggle and the killing. And she told coworkers that Lovisa had actually attacked her when she showed up to get her things out of the apartment. Yona then drove to the city after work where she ditched Lovisa's car and then took a bus back to Jonas's apartment to get her own car where Lovisa's body was sitting in the trunk.

Yonah drove to a wooded area and dumped six bags in the woods where she then drove home. Three of the bags had body parts and then the other three just had things that had happened like, you know, bloody blankets or whatever. Got it. Yonah ends up telling her roommate when she gets home that she had gone over to get her things from Jonas's apartment and

but ran into Lovisa there and that Lovisa began attacking her and got a hold of a knife and cut her hand open. Look at the cut on my hand. Yona then tells her roommate that she managed to get the knife and stabbed Lovisa in the neck and killed her.

She's like, I stabbed her in the neck and she ended up dying. And her roommate was probably like, why did you dismember her? Yeah. And then... Well, she actually didn't tell her that she had dismembered her. She just said, I got rid of the body. But... And the roommate's actually a boy. Okay. This is like some drama, but it was her ex-boyfriend that she was living with. Oh. While dating Jonas. Okay. Apparently, they were like...

Okay was still living together or something. Okay, so she tells her ex-boyfriend us and then she calls her sister and says hey You know I killed Lovisa in self-defense and both the ex-boyfriend and her sister like hey You need to call the police and tell him what happened like if it was self-defense you're gonna be fine And so she calls the police she tells the police. Hey, I showed up basically the same story She's been saying over and over I showed up to get my thing She attacked me I got a hold of the knife and stabbed her in the neck and she died and

And so they're like, okay, well, where's the body? They find the body and the police are like, hi, the body was injected with sleeping pills and alcohol and also was hit in the head and also was stabbed multiple times, not just once in the neck. We know you're lying. And dismembered. Yes. And dismembered. So we know you're lying. Yeah. And she's like, okay, yes, I lied.

I wanted Lovisa to die because she wasn't good enough for Jonas and he had evidently picked her. Oh, so she told the truth. She ends up telling the truth very fast.

Yona had hit Lovisa so hard with the hammer on that first blow that it would have killed her alone after a couple hours. Oh, really? Yeah, like if she had not immediately sought medical attention, she would have died. Yona had also Googled, this all comes out at trial, Yona had also Googled how to kill someone, how to carry and dispose of a body. She had searched the easiest way to kill somebody, how to hire a hitman, and she had

injecting someone with alcohol, jumping in front of a train, autopsy after a suicide, and much more. She had full-on planned this murder. No doubt. Yona also tells police that she studied the Netflix show Dexter. Okay. And have you seen Dexter? Yes, I have. It's basically about a professional serial killer. And she's like, I studied that show and I tried to emulate it. Which...

She did a horrible job if she's trying to emulate Dexter. Anyways, this has now nicknamed her in Sweden, the female Dexter. Like that's what they call her as a killer. Psychiatric investigation shows that Yona had difficulty predicting what her actions would eventually lead to.

So she was like, oh, I'm going to go kill this. I planned it and then went back to her roommate and was like, so I killed them and didn't think ahead about how there would be evidence with the body that this is not the way it went down. You know, Yona tells police that Dexter, the TV show, made it look so easy on TV, but it was actually a lot harder in real life to kill somebody. It's almost like she kind of enjoyed it. I agree.

I agree. It's a little weird. It's weird. And poor Lovisa. Yeah. Like that she got killed for no reason. Yeah. It's horrible. It is horrible. And also, I feel like Lovisa and Yona were kind of on the same team. Yeah. Like they spent time together at the bar or at the club, you know, just hanging out, talking, both being sad about their situation just for her to turn around and kill her. Yeah. Yeah.

So April 24th, 2016, Jonna Henningsen was sentenced to life in prison, which is a pretty big deal in Sweden, I guess. A lot of coworkers and friends have come forward and said that they can't comprehend that Jonna would do this, that she was super nice. She wasn't violent. She actually seemed to be squeamish, like she was scared of needles. She was sensitive to blood and then just turned around and did this.

Yona says that she doesn't know if she actually did what she's convicted for. And so she's confused. She doesn't understand how all the evidence points to her because she doesn't believe she did it. So almost like she has, what's it called? Like when you,

Turn into another person? Uh-huh. Like personality disorder. Yeah. Disassociative or something like that. That's kind of what it feels to me because she says like she doesn't really remember anything. And also, I'm not going to make excuses for her. No, not at all. I feel like she full-on planned this. It wasn't like...

heat of the moment they got in a fight no she planned it and so i feel like it's hard to be like well i don't remember it because you planned it you know what i mean she was searching things on google for who knows how long i'm and do i think that that's a super traumatic thing to kill somebody and there's a chance that your brain like diminishes the memory yes i do think that's possible but do i think that she went there to kill her yes so yeah um but yeah so that is the story of lovisa

oh poor la visa she didn't do anything wrong i mean yeah she didn't do anything wrong no she did nothing wrong to deserve to be killed and even if she had no one deserves yeah exactly be killed in that way you know what i mean and it's just crazy the love the things people do when they're in love it's just your yeah i guess your brain your mind is so powerful just insane better help yeah better help right yeah
