A homeless man enters an abandoned building in Athens, following a smell that should not be there. Inside a room, on the floor, he finds a suitcase. Inside is Elisabeth Ross, a 38-year-old Scottish woman, with no visible injuries or signs of a struggle.
What police discover afterward is what freezes the investigation: for two weeks, someone kept writing from Elisabeth’s phone. Messages to her father, a lawyer in Edinburgh. Messages to a friend. The last one said “I need a little peace and quiet, I want to be alone”. All sent after she was already dead.
The phone did not switch off until news of the discovery went around the world. Now investigators are tracing those signals to reach whoever sent them, while reconstructing the three days Elisabeth spent alone in Athens before disappearing forever.
