Plot Synopsis

Based on Tobias Barkman's 2009 book of the same name, THE HUNT FOR A KILLER explores the case of the March 1989 murder of Helen in Horby, a small town in southern Sweden, which traumatized the nation. A seemingly impossible case, it remained unsolved for 15 years, leaving the small community and the police force entrusted to protect it with a painful open wound. On the night Helen disappeared, there were about 20 suspected pedophiles living in Horby. This is the prelude to THE HUNT FOR A KILLER, which follows the unwavering journey of the two detectives Akesson and Olhed who led an investigation team that solved numerous homicides in southern Sweden and who would eventually, against all odds, find Helen's killer. THE HUNT FOR A KILLER made its U.S. debut on Thursday, August 12, 2021, as SundanceNow released all six episodes.
