TL:DR on how was she killed?

cornholio 8y ago
Two danish sailors picked her up while drunk in a rental car, one of them got off to the ship and the other drove away with her and was not seen until the next morning when he returned the car with a large odometer reading. Her body was eventually found naked and battered in a distant location, and the rental had forensic sings of having been cleaned of her blood. The sailor was recorded buying cleaning products at the same time, his DNA was found on her discarded clothes and her driving license was found in his cabin on the ship (along with a few pounds of hashish). A truly disturbed individual that tried to pin the murder on his colleague up until the very end.

  Also, actual cause of death was drowning which removes some suspicion of involvement from the other sailor since the drowning likely took place much later and further away from his departure. Kudos to the captain for being very responsible and secretly turning the ship around on suspicion his men were involved.

    There was a plan B even if he didn't turn around, but yeah, he made it easier.

  If you don't mind, can you also give a TL:DR on why this appears on HN front page?
