In the early morning hours of September 16, 1988, Heidi Paakkonen and Urban Hoglin were waiting at the Stockholm airport to begin a trip around the world. They would travel to the United States, Australia and finish their tour in New Zealand. Their return was scheduled for May of the following year. However, the couple disappeared while traveling on the Coromandel Peninsula. Police, residents and military personnel conducted the largest land search ever undertaken in New Zealand, trying to find Heidi and Urban.

One man, David Tamhiere, was convicted of the couple alleged crime, but looking back at the investigation process, the credibility of the New Zealand police was called into question, and the fate of the Swedish couple remains a mystery.
