The case was dismissed.
Investigation Director Thomas Nordberg by the Bureau explains that there is a new review of missing documents now decided investigated
– We got to review the police investigation at the end of June, and we’re still investigating whether we shall commence an investigation on this. Two weeks ago we received as a new review in the same issue. This is a matter that the police should have been withheld, omitted or obscured investigation documents so that such counsel does not have to see these documents. This relationship we have decided to investigate. We are still investigating whether to investigate the initial review, said Nordberg.
NCIS report
This spring, it became clear that a special investigation team from NCIS would look into the matter again. The mother’s counsel, Stig Nilsen, had the former NCIS investigator Asbjørn Hansen, to make a report where he underwent investigation. There, he pointed out several weaknesses in the police handling of the case.
NCIS since this spring gone through the case together with the Bergen police, but the conclusion is not yet clear.
In the wake of the case has it also proved that it internally at police headquarters in Bergen have been discussions on the matter has not been investigated enough. Bergens Tidende revealed earlier in September that an experienced investigator notified management at the police headquarters in Bergen that he thought the investigation was too weak even before NCIS was inside the image.
Will investigate deleted documents
Lawyer Stig Nilsen told VG that they have reviewed the Bergen police special unit of police affairs.
– My client has reviewed three factors to the Bureau: The police have spoken false to her, including questioning; that the police have completed tasks that they should have done and they have assured that they would perform; and that the police have left out of documents in the case / removed documents from the case.
The Bureau has confirmed that they have started investigation of section 3, whilst still studying questions 1 and 2, says Stig Nilsen VG.
– My client is pleased with this news. However, we will await any comments beyond this up special unit has come with its conclusion, says Nilsen VG.

– Either we have the police not able to comment on matters under investigation by the unit , she says to VG.
The discovery away
In the VG’s knowledge, there should be an investigation documents of both technical and so-called tactical art that is away from the case files.
One of the objections is that the documents are considered as irrefutable objective evidence, placed in the case file under the category of circumstantial evidence – which normally are not alone counts as evidence.
excessive homicide investigator at Hordaland Police also made a note about Monika affair, after he went into it in connection with another murder in Bergen. He reacted strongly to several deficiencies in the investigation, which he accompanied Bergens Tidende took up with his superiors. He was rejected and asked to stay away from the case. Document or note he made, shall no longer be found in the documents.
