    <description>Dead Drop Archives is a forensic documentary series. Each file reconstructs a single unresolved case from the primary record — archival documents, investigative records, and declassified material — and only the primary record. Every claim is held to two independent sources. Where the record disagrees with itself, the disagreement is left standing. We do not solve these cases. We reconstruct them. New case files open regularly. The archive is open. deaddroparchives.com</description>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;In November 1970, a woman was found burning in a remote Norwegian valley. She had eight fake identities. Every label had been cut from her clothing. Every bottle near her body had its label scraped off. Soot was found in her lungs — meaning she was alive when the fire started. Bergen police ruled it a suicide. She was never identified.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is Case 134/70.&lt;/p&gt;
