**SKIP TO 00:20:21 TO HEAR THE STORY** TW: This episode will feature murder, torture, and descriptions of mental illness which some listeners may find disturbing, listener discretion is advised. Two men vanished into the Icelandic winter without a trace. No bodies. No crime scenes. No forensic evidence. And yet six people would eventually confess to murders they may never have committed???? This week, we’re diving into the infamous Guðmundur and Geirfinnur case, better known as The Reykjavik Confessions AKA Iceland’s most disturbing and controversial criminal investigation. What began as two mysterious disappearances in 1974 spiraled into a nightmare of isolation cells, psychological manipulation, alleged coerced confessions, and a national obsession that destroyed lives. Under immense pressure to solve the case, Icelandic police subjected suspects to hundreds of hours of interrogation, prolonged solitary confinement, sleep deprivation, and heavy sedation. Some prisoners became so psychologically broken they no longer trusted their own memories. Decades later, many Icelanders came to believe the confessions were entirely false — and in 2018, five of the six convictions were finally overturned by Iceland’s Supreme Court! Was there ever a killer at all? Or did an entire country slowly convince itself a murder had happened? Today on Let’s Get Haunted, we are picking apart the strange disappearance of GUDMUNDER and GEIRFINNUR and delving into the most haunted theories… then we will hear from a local who has received some insight from otherworldly sources??
