Hi all.
This is my first post here, though I have been reading this forum for many years (especially about the McStays). Now we have a case in my own country (Denmark) that fortunately is very rare here. I do have an opinion about this that I want to share with you.
I do believe that Kims murder was planned. The reason for that is these 10 arguments (that I ofcourse only got from the news-channel and the news-media):
1: PM (Peter Madsen) has been dreaming of, for years, that he one day would make a huge happening where the police was chasing him for an unknown reason. Thats why his friends and family first thought that this was some kind of joke and that Kim would turn up after a few days or so, smiling and say haha this was just for fun, but now we know that she didnt.
Yes, he did say that - and what a strange wish to have! But he also said that no one should get hurt during that imagined stunt.
He may have changed his mind about that - who knows!
2: He had often talked about that he made things happen if he could. Like "If I can do it then I will do it".
3: He had some events arranged the day after the murder, that he for unknown reasons had cancelled, before he went on the trip with Kim.
I agree, that is very strange.
4: He sank his submarine at the same moment when someone spotted him, which makes me think that he wasnt finished with erasing the clues in the boat. Its like that when someone approached him and said "hey there you are" then he just made the boat go poof. Took only 30 sec and he apparently knew it was possible to do that fast and also needed to do. He had probably been thinking about doing that before he was spottet. It was not an act of panic, I bet.
I don´t think he could have erased the clues from the submarine in any case - and I think he knew that. There must have been a lot of blood down there. No way he could have gotten rid of that.
I think he sank the submarine (open so water could enter and erase clues - he thought, it didn´t work, they still found blood from poor Kim Wall) when he saw the rescue team approaching - there was visual contact at that point.
He made sure to do it when a private boat was close enough to rescue him fast (good, there are physical traces on him and his clothes still, ha!)
5: His first statements was totally lies about leaving her somewhere at the exact time where she had to be home or had to contact her boyfriend, so he had thought about timing. Too much thinking for a man in panic. As the evidence showed up, he did have to change his statements though. There was survaillance-cameraes at the place he said he dropped her off, which he apparently didnt know about, so that ruined his initial statement and probably his whole plan, because it could be proved that she wasnt present on the place, when he said she would be.
If he had planned it in advance, he would probably have made sure to claim he dropped her off at a place where he knew there were no cameras. He knows the area well. His Submarine has been there for years. His rocket hangar is there - he practically lives there, because often he sleeps in the hangar or in the submarine.
Why he didn´t know there were cameras at the restaurant area is a slip - a major one.
6: He did also claim at first that Kim was there to do an interview on him and his submarine, and that it was a magazine called "Wired" that should be the media to publish it. Danish journalists had contacted that magazine and asked if they knew anything about that and their response was that they havent heard about it at all. So why was she there, then?
Someone else answered that.
7: He dismembered the body, which in my opinion is a strange act IF he was in panic, because I would have thought that the first panic-ish thought must have been to just throw the body over board, but a policeman told our news-channel that it might be possible for people in a total state of panic to do such things, though its very rare. Its just sick no matter why.
It is very, VERY sick!!!
There are two possibilities why he dismembered her body:
1. He wanted to make it more difficult to find her and identify her.
2. The "entrance" to the submarine is very narrow, only 52 cm (20.5 inches). It would have been extremely difficult for him to drag her whole body thorough the tube (entrance). It must have been difficult even "just" with the torso.
Torso had a chain around it. Could he have used it for two purposes? First to drag the torso through the tube, then to add some weight to it to make it sink and hopefully stay down (it didn´t, thank God!)
8: This is what made me think it was planned. He punctured the body so that the gasses could be let out, so the body didnt float to the suface. Who on earth do think about that in a state of panic? I really do believe that this has been researched before he even went on that trip with her.
Remember that this is a man who on a very hands on level is used to work with the laws of physics.
He has built three submarines and knows all about those principles of air in objects and how it makes them sink or float. Those are the very principles used in submarines.
He would have known this instantly.
9: When he got ashore he was interviewed and he did NOT act like he had just been experiencing something very cruel. Not at all. He just babbled about how sad he was about the submarine and that he had a failure that made it sink. No signs of shock or nervousity or anything that showed his distress.
That is exactly how he behaves when he has done outrageous things - on a lesser scale - in the past. My friends have talked about that.
He is a psychopath - they have this "ability".
10: The police did immidiately arrest him for murder when he came ashore. We still dont know why they already, at that point, thought of that, but something must have told them that there was something wrong.
I think we will learn about that soon.
They must have had something on him very soon after his initial meeting with police.
Probably a combination of things.
This is just my opinion about why I think it was planned from start.
No matter what, then PM is already in deep s... with what he finally admitted, so I think he will go under with his submarine soon, when the police starts to dig even deeper than they already have. They are so far also looking at another dismembered body from 1986 where the body also was punctured to keep it down, so maybe he has been practising for this in his early days. His age differs from media to media. The last I heard from the news channel was that he is 48 which make him 18 back then. So its possible he did that too.
