Lately, Wilma's family has experienced a change in his behaviour, according to a female relative of Wilma.
- "A dark side that he has never shown before and we are completely shocked by it. None of us adults in her vicinity have even seen small signs of this, "the woman has said.
-" Often when they were rowing, she would come home to me and sit here and talk. Afterwards, I drove her to his house or she was with us. She could eat here, we sat here and talked."
The man's father is convinced of the son's innocence. He has previously stated:
- "It's my son and I'm waiting to hear what has happened. He was with me yesterday. He said Dad, I promise I haven't done anything. He said they had been arguing."

The boyfriend's apartment was blocked off on Tuesday and examined by police technicians on the same day. On Wednesday, the boyfriend's apartment was searched with dogs.
At the same time, Missing people have found clothing near the home, according to GT's information.
A neighbor to the boyfriend says:
- It was not unusual for the apartment to be loud and noisy. I live close by so I often sighed that it was so loud.
Another neighbour says he met Wilma in the staircase on Wednesday night, dressed to go out for a party. He says everything seemed to be as usual.
