Deep dives
Theory 1: Suicide - Occam's Razor
The police concluded that the case is a suicide. The woman, known as the Oslo Plaza woman or Jennifer Fairgate, checked into the hotel without proper identification or payment. She was found dead in her room with a gunshot wound to the head, holding a pistol backwards. The room had no signs of forced entry, and there were no identification documents or personal belongings. The police believe that the woman planned her own suicide and intentionally avoided leaving any traces of her true identity.
Theory 2: The Involvement of an Unknown Person
Another theory is that there was an unknown person involved in the case. Witnesses claim to have seen the woman with a man in the hotel lobby, but his identity remains unknown. Some discrepancies in the evidence, such as missing clothing items, a suitcase, and the presence of additional shoes, suggest the possible involvement of someone else. However, no concrete evidence has been found to support this theory.
Theory 3: Possible Foul Play or Conspiracy
There is speculation that foul play or a larger conspiracy may be involved in the case. Questions arise about how the woman was able to check into the hotel without proper identification or payment, and why no one reported her as missing. The mishandling of evidence and delayed investigation also raise suspicions. However, there is currently no conclusive evidence to support these claims.
Ongoing Search for Answers
Despite the passage of time, journalist Lars Christian Wagner and others continue to search for answers and new leads in the case. Their efforts have shed light on various details and inconsistencies, but the true identity and motive of the Oslo Plaza woman remains a mystery.
Theory 1: Plaza Woman's Death as a Suicide
The first theory suggests that the Plaza Woman's death was a suicide. However, this theory presents several inconsistencies that cast doubt on its validity. One key point is the absence of blood splatters on the woman's hands and clothing, which is unusual for a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Moreover, the position of the body and the absence of gunpowder residue on the hands raise questions about the plausibility of this being a suicide. The theory also fails to explain the missing clothes and the presence of 34 nine-millimeter rounds in the room. These inconsistencies challenge the notion of suicide and point towards alternative explanations.
Theory 2: Plaza Woman as a Secret Agent
Another theory suggests that the Plaza Woman may have been a secret agent and was possibly assassinated. This theory is based on the removal of tags from her clothes, which aligns with espionage practices. The fact that Oslo was a common meeting place for spies adds further weight to this theory. The absence of back splatter and gunshot residue on her hands, as well as the presence of a deadbolt on the locked door, are considered indications of a professional assassin. The missing clothes and the unusual smell in the room hint at a deliberate attempt to cover up the crime. While this theory leans towards espionage, it cannot be definitively proven due to the lack of concrete evidence and the covert nature of intelligence operations.
On May 31st, 1995, Jennifer Fairgate checked into the prestigious Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel, but never checked out. Missing identification, a locked door on an upper floor, few witnesses, and a gunshot left this crime scene a baffling mystery. Today, we discuss the true crime case of the Oslo Plaza Woman.
