Death in Ice Valley is a 2018 true crime podcast produced by NRK, the Norwegian radio and television public broadcasting company and BBC World Service. It is authored by Marit Higraff, a Norwegian investigative journalist with NRK, and Neil McCarthy, documentary producer with BBC.[1][2][3] The podcast follows a two-year investigation into the Isdal Woman case, concerning an unknown woman whose burned body was found in western Norway in 1970. It instigated a crowd-sourcing campaign for new leads in the investigation, gathered around the eponymous Facebook group run by World Service editor Anna Doble and journalist Beth Ryder.[4]
Higraff makes use of modern forms of journalism, mostly podcasting.[5] She is one of the leading experts on the case of the Isdal Woman and successfully encouraged the Bergen Police to reopen the case in 2016.[6]
