Will not have Stavanger
Wednesday’s press conference at the politihuset in Haugesund did not Birgittes parents so many surprises. They knew that the criticism of the avhørsmetodene that was used against the cousin would come up again.

It’s okay. Let them start again, close all the holes around the perpetrator, ” says Torger Tengs to Stavanger Aftenblad.
The only “bomb” that came in the course of the 40 minute long press conference, was that the investigation should be to Stavanger.
– This they said nothing about when we were informed on Tuesday. I react strongly that the base should be there. The environment in Stavanger is so small that the police share the canteen with a number of lawyers. I can not accept that the detectives are going to look at this matter shall have kompislunsj with Sjødin between battles, ” says Torger Tengs.

We have lived with this for nearly 22 years. It is a kind of races; we know that we must go through, it is painful, but we take one leg at a time, do not give up. I get a kind of sense of achievement of making it, ” says Karin Tengs.
– What will be different if you get a final answer?
– Then we can get peace. It would have been a relief to be able to turn on the tv without that it suddenly pops up a picture of Birgitte. No more inquiries from the press, no more bustle of the city. With a definite answer, we could put this behind us – we could set a period and found the tranquility, ” says the couple.

In the year there was 17 old murder of Kristin Juel Johannessen cleared when new technical methods gave a certain DNA match led to conviction. It is this Birgittes parents now hope to happen also in their case.
