The bare facts were straightforward. In 1974, 18-year-old Gudmundur Einarsson disappeared after a boozy night at a dance in a fishing town near Reykjavik. 11 months later Geirfinnur Einarsson (no relation), a quiet family man, went missing from Keflavik harbour in the southwest of Iceland after being summoned by a mysterious phone call from home. Both men were eventually presumed killed, though their bodies were never found. These simple facts, however, put in motion a remarkable tale of corruption, forced confession, false memory and madness that stretches over 40 years.
