Madsen has offered a shifting variety of explanations for Wall's death. Initially, he told authorities he had dropped Wall off on an island several hours after their voyage began. Then he claimed that Wall died accidentally inside the submarine while he was on deck during the excursion and he had "buried" her at sea. However, he later admitted throwing her body parts into the sea.

Wall's dismembered, naked torso was found on a southern Copenhagen shoreline in late August. Her head, legs and clothes were discovered in bags at sea in October, along with heavy metal objects designed to take them to the ocean floor.

Men with sniffer dogs searched from two sides, and located the body parts.
DNA checks established it was indeed Wall.

Multiple knife wounds had been found on her torso and Buch-Jepsen said Tuesday Madsen had stabbed Wall several times while she was alive but declined to elaborate.

Wall was a well known reporter, that studied a lot, also in the States.

Authorities also want to destroy Madsen's submarine.
Madson has now been convicted of murder.

Maybe this gave her family some closure. She was sadly missed by many.

He probably murdered several women, but nobody knows exactly how many.
