Peter Madsen, 47, a self-proclaimed inventrapeneur independently built 3 submarines and a rocket. He was well known in his home country of Denmark for his inventions and eccentric personality. His first rocket launch was just days away when his entire life unraveled on August 10, 2017, after he invited award-winning freelance journalist Kim Wall, 30 aboard his submarine for an interview. Kim, a social justice warrior, traveled the world conducting her “shoe leather” style of journalism and was known for her intriguing and sometimes quirky style of journalism. She had pursued an interview with Madsen for months and jumped at the opportunity to come aboard his submarine. Only one of them returned.
