Hans Assmann is infused in the lore of Finnish true crime and, in many respects, exists as almost a boogeyman. He has been linked to numerous more killings than we shall cover here, where we will focus instead on the most famous. They are the 1953 murder of Kyllikki Saari, the 1955 slaying of Elli Immo, the double campsite murder at Tulilahti in 1959, the infamous Lake Bodom murders of 1960, and the 1963 killing of Sirkka-Liisa Valjus. All of these cases have been covered in depth on this blog. Now we shall look deeper into the suspect some think is responsible for them all.

The supposed crimes of Assmann have grown into an extraordinary story of Nazi war criminals, Soviet spies, secret assassinations, and serial murder. In this version of events, a German immigrant traveled across Finland killing women, evading investigators, and concealing his activities behind the protection of the KGB. The reality appears far less spectacular. Much of the story rests on disputed testimony, claims made decades after the killings, and the words of Assmann himself, a man who seemed perfectly happy to encourage his own legend.
