Från 2017. I november 1944 försvinner Gotlandsbåten S/S Hansa på väg mot Visby. Är det sabotage eller en krigshandling som sänkt Hansa?

From 2018. A masked man with a sword and long black coat enters a primary school in Trollhättan. Several will be injured and murdered in the school attack. New episodes from P3 Dokumentär can be found first in Sveriges Radio Play. October 22, 2015 begins like a normal autumn day inside Kronan school. 500 people, most between six and fifteen years old, are sitting in their classrooms when a man with a Star Wars-inspired mask marches into the school. In his hand he holds a 96 centimeter long sword. He is there to murder. When 15-year-old Wahed is sitting at his place in the back of the classroom, there is a knock on the door. Outside stands a costumed man. "He stabs me in the stomach," says Wahed. It will later turn out that the attack is a racist hate crime and that the perpetrator the same morning sent a message to a guy he got to know online. We call him Dirk. The message ends: *”Those fucking cops better aim straight, I really don't want to survive the rampage. Anyway I love you, Anton”.* The police never interrogate Dirk but for P3 Dokumentär he now tells about his contact with the perpetrator. **A documentary by:** Emelie Rosén. **Producer:** Rosa Fernandez. **Research:** Emelie Rosén, Åsa Erlandsson and Adrian Sadikovic. The program was first published in 2018.
