The 22-year-old has been missing since 19 March. A large number of volunteers took part in the search, which ended without any findings. The police ended the search operation after a large search in the area around Balbergkampen in Lillehammer. There, large forces have formed a wide circle around the missing person’s car, which was found parked at Balberg. It has also been light a lot in the upper ålsbygda and the center of Lillehammer, among other places.
This week, after Easter, his phone was found. It was NRK who reported this first.
– It is the missing person’s phone and it was found by random passers-by, says investigation manager Ragnhild Ouren at Lillehammer police station to GD.
Investigating cabin break-ins in Gausdal
The coroner would not say exactly where the phone was found, but it was found outdoors. The phone has not yet been opened, but according to Ouren is under security and will be examined to see if there is anything they can use in the investigation.

She also informs that they are investigating a burglary in a cabin in Gausdal with interest in view of this missing person case.
– We have concretely followed up a theft from a cabin in Gausdal, where it turned out to have taken things that were not of particular value. It may look as if a person has entered to bring items to survive outside.
They do not know if the missing person has any connection with the burglary.
– Investigating considering that he is alive
Ouren says that they don’t know where the missing person is, but are investigating considering that he is alive. The missing person’s parents have been informed about the finding of the phone and the break-in, confirms Ouren.
– We have no idea where he might be. We will investigate the location where the phone was found more closely when it becomes practical in view of the snow and ice.
The areas they investigate further are not limited to Gausdal.
– We still accept tips and follow up on what we think is necessary there. If you discover this type of theft like the one in Gausdal, or other things, then contact us, says Ouren.
If you have any tips in this matter. Call the police on 02800.
