Gunnar Wall, a 74-year-old Swedish journalist, stands out as one of the most knowledgeable individuals regarding the unsolved murder of Olof Palme, the former Prime Minister of Sweden. With four decades devoted to the investigation and an estimated 20 years of full-time work dedicated exclusively to the crime, Wall has immersed himself in the details of the perplexing case. Despite his extensive research and expertise, Wall admits that he still does not know who shot Palme, emphasizing the deep ongoing mystery that has surrounded this high-profile assassination since it occurred in 1986.

The murder took place on March 1, 1986, which Wall recalls vividly as a shocking moment when he first heard the news. At his home in Kiruna, Sweden, preparing breakfast, he was drawn to an unusual and somber radio broadcast that broke the news of Palme's assassination. This event marked a significant turning point in Swedish history, not only due to the shocking nature of the crime but also because of its lingering effects on Swedish society and politics, sparking debates about safety and justice in the country.

Wall's ongoing dedication to uncovering the truth reflects a broader yearning in Swedish society for resolution regarding one of its most infamous criminal cases. As he urges for transparency and a comprehensive discussion about the case, Wall embodies the voices of many who hope to find closure for a murder that has haunted Sweden for decades. His unique background, including familial ties to Finland, adds a personal dimension to his commitment, making his quest for answers all the more poignant in the context of not just Swedish, but also Finnish historical ties and emotions surrounding the case.
