The Taxi Night in Stuvsta

about 3 h 45 min · 4–6 players

On the night between 28 and 29 September 1960, taxi driver Sonja Åkerlind, 34, is found dead in the ditch by Stuvstaleden in Huddinge municipality, a couple of hundred metres from her stationary cab 7. The till is forced open and 41 kronor are missing, and the 1960 investigation drowns in interviews without anyone being tied to the scene. The case expires on 28 September 1985, and the cold case unit has now opened the file one last time to see whether the old papers say what no one listened to in 1960. Two of those who heard and saw something that night were recorded and died within two years, and their accounts diverge about the same quarter-hour. Whoever follows the 1972 confession straight ahead gets the wrong man: the decisive point lies in a driving slip that never came back to the pile, and in a line about which day a night's driving is entered under — a line that appears in four files and that no one read as a rule. Five red herrings remain in the file and are being requested again: the coffee receipts from the kiosk's bundle, which gave the driver a companion she never had, and the outbuilding by Stuvstaleden, where the investigation looked for the man in the dark; the petrol receipt from the station in Stuvsta, whose twenty past twelve moved the murder by thirty years, is requested (code 'receipt'); the torch by the ditch, where the neighbour woman and her son contradict each other about the same quarter-hour, and the 1960 insurance letter, which gave the divorced man a motive he did not have, is requested (code 'insurance').
