There is a big article in the
paper version of BN de Stem of today. These are the highlights:
- According to skipper Geir Sundt, the Saltsraumen Straight isn't the place where kayaks would go geen plek voor kajakkers. He organises raftexcursione. He doesn't think that AK went there to paddle.
- He also does not think that AK would have got off the train at Fauske to paddle with his kayak: that day it was very rainy and windy.
- AK's friends are surprised that he had bought a kayak. He never spoke of going kayaking.
- AK had booked for Spitsbergen, but cancelled his booking before leaving for Norway
- AK had 2 phones: one made its last contact in/near Fauske on the 20th of August. The other 10 days later in Vikesa.
- Bodo has the most northern train station in Norway. Small planes leave from here to go further North and from here there are ferries to the Lofoten.
- There are very few tourists who stay more than 2 nights in Bodo.
- According to police, AK did not go to Lofoten, based on his phone data.
- Except for the receptionists at the hotel who checked AK in and out, no one has seen AK in Bodo. No one saw him at the hotel restaurant, nor at the fish restaurant, nor at the local café, nor at the news paper shop, nor at the mini supermarkets, nor at the sports- and outdoor shops
- In Fauske there is the base of the intelligence services where satellite data are analysed: Forsvaret Stasjon Fauske

- The armed forces give no comment
- It is unlikely that AK travelled to Stavanger by train, a trip of more than 20 hours
- A ship was lying in the harbour of Rognan, when AK went missing. That ship would sail to Stavanger and it also sails (when? regularly? or then?)to Canada.
- According to Ancilla, AK regularly made jokes that he would escape on a cargo ship if an Apocalypse would be imminent.
