Wow. Speechless. I'm hoping she turns up soon, for her sake and his.

The journalist was writing a piece for Wired magazine.

No she wasn't, says Wired....

Holy ****.
Even my memories sink now...

Didn't expect to read this outside the usual community channels, but it's a sad thing to read.

Here's the YT playlist for the 2009 Subsim Meet where we sailed on the Nautilus (among other cool activities), if anyone wants a bit of a time travel moment.

From FB Subsim member Allan Jenkins

According to the sailor who rescued Peter Madsen -- he found the sub after just an hour's search -- the sub was afloat until he approached it. Madsen was on the conning tower. When the boat drew nearer, Madsen went below, the sub began sinking quickly, Madsen returned to the conning tower and jumped in the water. Very calmly.

Madsen claims he dropped the journalist off at a restaurant in Copenhagen harbor. The owner of the restaurant says, though, the restaurant was closed at the time of the drop off. However, he has security tapes from all around the restaurant, and he voluntarily gave them to the police.

The coast guard knows the position of the sub and are preparing to bring it in. It sank in seven meters of water.

Madsen was arrested and charged with murder just hours after the rescue, and he is to be arraigned tomorrow (Saturday) morning.

It is more or less now:

Friends and family started to make search posts for her at Facebook, and well, then the police can't keep it a secret anymore. I don't get it either why they wanted to keep her identity secret, if they wanted the population to look for her.
Anyway, it's a sad story and also a very strange story. The biggest problem for Peter Madsen is that she hasn't turned up, and the longer it lasts until she turns up, the more suspicious it is. If he has set her off at Refshaleøen, as he said, why has noone seen her and why hasn't she contacted her family, boyfriend etc.? Could something bad have happend to her after PM set her off? That's possible too, but it's just speculations until she is found, dead or alive. Hopefully, she'll turn up alive, and soon...
