Kaylin Moore: 1970年11月29日，在挪威伊斯达尔山谷，一名男子和他的两个女儿在一条小溪附近的小山上发现了一具严重烧伤的女性遗体。死者身份不明，随身物品标签被移除，使用假身份和伪装。现场没有发现火灾痕迹，死者身边散落着一些奇怪的物品，例如装满清水的水瓶、一把坏掉的雨伞、一枚戒指和一些橡胶靴子。警方在火车站发现了两个无人认领的行李箱，箱内物品的标签也被移除，包括高级服装、假发、无度数眼镜和化妆品，以及一个来自德国内衣店的火柴盒。尸检报告显示死者服用了大量的英国产粉色安眠药，但其血液中安眠药的浓度并不足以致死。死者死于一氧化碳中毒和安眠药中毒，其肺部发现烟灰，表明她在火灾发生时还活着。法医报告显示死者的帽子上有两滴汽油。警方最初将此案定性为自杀，但公众对这一结论提出了质疑。尽管警方对外宣称此案为自杀，但挪威秘密警察却对此案展开了秘密调查。死者被发现的地点靠近挪威最大的海军基地，该基地正在测试“企鹅”导弹系统。一位渔民声称在导弹测试基地附近见过死者与一名军官交谈。这位渔民在前往伦敦的火车上被两名警官拦下，并被给予了手枪和刀具，用于自卫。死者笔记本中的代码被破译，其内容为其旅行行程的速记。2017年，警方在死者的遗骸中找到了一块下颌骨，这为进一步的DNA测试提供了可能。DNA测试显示死者可能来自德国纽伦堡，并在孩童时期移居法国，其真实年龄可能比她自称的年龄大20岁左右。一些新的证词显示死者曾与一名男子一起出现，这为“高级陪护”理论提供了支持。2005年，一名男子声称在伊斯达尔山谷见过死者被两名男子尾随，这表明死者可能被人谋杀。关于死者身份的几种推测，包括间谍、性工作者和自杀。死者可能是一名“诱饵”，即受情报机构雇佣利用其身份获取情报的性工作者。伊斯达尔女子之谜的核心在于寻找其身份，而非关注其死亡原因。
