Kyllikki Saari

Kyllikki Saari

Auli Kyllikki Saari (December 6 1935 - May 17 1953) was a 17-year-old girl whose murder in 1953 is one of the most infamous Finnish homicide cases of all time. Her murder in Isojoki remains unsolved.

Saari was last seen alive on May 17. She was cycling home from a prayer meeting when the unidentified killer attacked. Her bicycle was discovered in a marshy area later in the summer. [http://www2.hs.fi/english/archive/news.asp?id=20040405IE8] Although her murder received notable media attention, her corpse was not found until October 11 in a bog.

The murderer is widely speculated to have had a sexual motive, but no semen was found on her body. Saari's funeral service at Isojoki Church on October 25, 1953 was attended by 25,000 people.

The murderer has not been identified to date, although there have been numerous suspects. The murderer is believed to be deceased now. [http://www.tiede.fi/arkisto/artikkeli.php?id=146&vl=2000]
