## Resource

In today's episode, we're traveling to the cold mountains outside Bergen, Norway, where in 1970 the burned body of a woman was found in a remote valley locals called “Death Valley.” She carried no identification. Every label had been cut from her clothing. Investigators later uncovered fake passports, coded notes, wigs, mysterious hotel stays, and possible links to Cold War espionage. Nobody knows who she was — or why she died there.
