The Therese Case (Norwegian: Therese-saken) is a Norwegian, unsolved disappearance case. The case started in Drammen on 3 July 1988, when nine-year-old Therese Johannessen disappeared without a trace from her home in Fjell after going to a nearby kiosk to buy sweets. Despite an extensive police investigation and a number of search operations, Therese Johannessen has never been found.[1]
The police have been convinced that the disappearance is a criminal case, and in 1998 Swede Sture Bergwall was convicted in the case after confessing to having abducted and killed the nine-year-old.[2] Quickly later he retracted the confession,[3] and the Swedish public prosecutor's office overturned the sentence in March 2011.[4][5] The case has been re-investigated a number of times, most recently in 2013. In July of the same year, the disappearance - as a criminal case - was criminally time-barred, as a result of the then 25-year time limit for serious criminal cases. Any perpetrator or perpetrators will therefore not be punished in the case.[6]
In 2020, NRK broadcasted a series about the Therese Case, called "transl. Therese - the girl who disappeared". It was produced by Monster Media.[7]

At 19.25 it started to rain heavily in the area, and Therese went to the kiosk for the third and last time. The woman who worked in the kiosk saw Therese leave the business and continue down a nearby walkway. This is the last confirmed sighting of the nine-year-old.
