In May 1932, police forced open the door to a small apartment in Stockholm’s Atlas district. Inside lay the body of 32-year-old Lilly Lindeström, a sex worker last seen on Walpurgis Night. She had been bludgeoned to death during a sexual encounter, but the scene held something far stranger: her body had been drained of blood, and a gravy ladle smeared with it lay nearby. Newspapers dubbed the unknown killer the “Atlas Vampire,” and though police interviewed every client and acquaintance they could find, no one was ever charged. Nearly a century later, Lilly’s murder remains Sweden’s most bizarre unsolved case.
