Free ·about 1 h 15 min · 1–4 players

Gotland, July 1851. The labourer Jacob Ringström leaves Tofta and does not return; he has disappeared in unknown circumstances and his body is never found. Years later the bones are found in the forest, and the trail leads to another labourer in the same parish. Four years after the disappearance, the verdict is handed down. A real case from Gotland's legal history: the real investigation, the real verdict and the real execution on Lixarve land in Tofta on 23 May 1855. Everyone involved has been dead for more than a hundred years, and everything in the file comes from parish archives and public records — the sources accompany the case.
