History
[edit]The murder in Stöcksjö
[edit]Even though Stöcksjö is a calm little village were families live, it has somewhat of a dark history. In 1966 a man was murdered and to this day no one knows who the murderer is. Karl Axel Andersson disappeared around 17 October 1966 and his body was discovered in Kvistforskanalen on 10 August 1967. When Andersson disappeared neighbours found bloodstains on the stairs outside his house. The police had trouble finding the body even though they had good help from civilians. The police used dogs, and people from the neighborhood went searching alongside. Altogether the search area was up to 155 miles around almost all roads in Stöcksjö but they came up empty-handed.[9]

[edit]Because Stöcksjö is located a bit outside Umeå, most of the inhabitants have been farmers who produced different types of seed. Earlier, for all farmers, the work was especially hard since they did not have the same equipment that today's society can offer.[9]
