More than five years after Anne-Elisabeth Hagen disappeared from her home in Sloraveien 4 in Lørenskog, the police have finished investigating the case. The recommendation is now with the State Attorney for assessment.
For four years, the husband Tom Hagen has been accused of having killed or assisted in the murder of his wife, in addition to the fact that three men have the status of accused. All four deny criminal guilt.

– Must find the answers
The last sign of life from Anne-Elisabeth Hagen is a phone call at 09:14 on 31 October 2018. Since then, no one has seen or heard from her.
Skating legend Johann Olav Koss, who is well acquainted with the Hagen family, hopes the police will be able to provide answers to what has happened to “Lisbeth”, as she is called by those closest to her.
– The most important thing is that the police continue to investigate the case, find the culprit and find the answers to what has happened to “Lisbeth”, says Koss to Dagbladet.
Koss became a hero during the Winter Olympics in Lillehammer in 1994, where he won three golds and set three world records. In the mid-1980s, Tom Hagen became his very first sponsor, when he received NOK 40,000 in sponsorship money from him, according to NRK. That was the start of their friendship.
Koss is happy about the latest developments in the case.
– For those of us who are close to Tom, it is good that the case is apparently dropped – especially for Tom and his family, he says.

Expect closure
State prosecutor Kari Hangeland Buvik at the Oslo state prosecutor’s office confirmed last week to Dagbladet that they have received the recommendation from the East police district.
However, Buvik did not wish to comment further on the setting.
– The work on the case here will naturally take some time, taking into account that the case has been investigated for a long time and that there is a large amount of material to be reviewed. We cannot therefore say anything concrete about when the case will be forwarded to the Attorney General, she told Dagbladet.
The police’s cold tip: – Won’t go any further
Hagen’s defender, lawyer Svein Holden, stated that he does not know the content of the statement from the police.
– But we expect that the case against Hagen will be dropped, said the defender to NRK and Nettavisen last week.
