Summary
What happened, as the record shows.
A woman checked into the Oslo Plaza Hotel, room 2805, under the alias 'Jennifer Fairgate' on May 31, 1995, with no ID or credit card and every clothing label removed. Three days later she was found dead of a gunshot to the head in the locked room. Norwegian police ruled her death a suicide, but her identity remains unknown more than 30 years later. She was exhumed in 2016 for DNA and isotope testing, and her story was featured on Netflix's Unsolved Mysteries in 2020.
