Did CIA Kill Annie Borjesson ? A Complete Case Study Till 2022.

A man strolling his dog along Prestwick Beach on a typical Scottish December morning made a horrific find. On the shore lay the body of a female. She appeared to have been washed ashore on shore as she was covered in sand and seaweed. The case looked to be a tragic suicide involving Annie Borjesson, a 30-year-old Swedish national whose life ended prematurely by her own hand. However, not all was as it seemed.

Annie Borjesson had lived in Edinburgh for more than a year prior to her arrival in Scotland from her home Sweden in 2004, enjoying life in the historic and cultural city. She was half-Hungarian, 5 feet 8 inches tall, athletic, and had the usual blonde hair and blue eyes of a Swede. Annie, a great linguist and talented musician, was proficient in five languages, including English, and was active in a band that had toured Europe. Even though she enjoyed living in Scotland and was a model citizen, she found it difficult to maintain residency there and returned to Sweden in August 2005. In late October, she embarked on the journey back to Scotland.

Annie was reportedly financially secure, as she received unemployment assistance from Sweden and was found with cash on her, including a £300 uncashed check. She had purchased a recreation card and paid her rent. Annie’s hunt for a career in the hotel sector, which she hoped would allow her to remain in Edinburgh permanently, was arduous, and she had little success. Annie would stroll, swim, explore the city’s rich culture and arts, and, like most people her age, enjoy evenings out to decompress. On one of these occasions, she met Martin Leslie, a New Zealander who had 37 caps for Scotland and was an international rugby player.

However, he was not Martin Leslie.

Indeed, the man may have been little more than a con artist attempting to seduce attractive women with champagne and fabricated promises of international fame. Nonetheless, it was just prior to Annie’s passing that “Martin Leslie” reappeared at the neighbourhood swimming pool she frequented. It was surprising that she had never seen a man named “Leslie” there before, given her liking for rugby-playing men with powerful physiques. Everyone who knew Annie was aware of her passion for rugby, and in many ways, “Martin Leslie” appeared tailor-made for her. She was a regular at the Murrayfield Warriors rugby club and attended games there frequently. Annie felt uneasy.

“The last time I chatted with Annie over the phone, we discussed how much fun we would have when she arrived at Stockholm Skavsta Airport, and she mentioned that she would schedule an appointment with her hairstylist. The only thing that was worrying Annie at the time of our chat was Martin Leslie’s peculiar behaviour. Annie encountered the guy she knew as Martin Leslie twice in her final week of life. During our final phone conversation, she told me about his weird behaviour during a Rugby gathering at Murrayfield Rugby Club, and she stated that she had resolved to avoid this man.

The imposter was practically an expert on the career of the genuine Martin Leslie; “he even mentioned his brother John, who also played for Scotland and had a serious knee injury.” Annie informed her family that although having only met him twice, she viewed him as a sexual predator and intended to cut off all communication with him.

According to a story in the Scottish Daily Record, “her final email to former Scotland rugby star Martin Leslie was received from her Edinburgh apartment, and it had no indication that she was suicidal.” It is unclear whether this was the genuine or a phoney Martin Leslie. The man was never apprehended.

Prior to her death, the Borjesson family were more concerned about their daughter’s mental health. Annie seemed unhappy during phone talks, and a staff worker at the Linton Court Apartments, where she resided, informed her that she was despondent, stating that she “had to take care of things” and “had made a decision that may alter her life.” Annie’s mother, Guje Borjesson, called her on her cellphone on 1 December and informed her that the family was concerned. Annie said, “You have to respect this, but I have to take care of myself.” The Scottish police later stated that there was no record of this conversation and that Annie’s phone had not received any calls in the three days preceding her death.

Annie called a friend in Sweden on Thursday night, claiming that she was attending a party that evening beginning at 10 p.m. She was hesitant about specifics but appeared enthusiastic. No one ever came forward to testify that they had been there or that it existed.

Annie was at the airport on Saturday, December 3, ready for her flight home. She attempted to withdraw funds from her bank account twice, both times at Glasgow Central station. The initiatives failed due of a lack of funding. Investigators believe she travelled 32 miles to Prestwick Airport in order to make the 6.30 a.m. flight to Gothenburg, since she informed her hairdresser, Inger Nossborn, that she would be back on Monday, December 5. She packed her Swedish passport and two library books with the intention of returning them to the Swedish library. She was not depicted during her entire voyage.

Annie did not purchase a ticket in advance, but she carried her money in a Filofax organiser with her everywhere she went. Despite travelling this distance, she barely spent 4 minutes and 41 seconds at Prestwick Airport. During her stay, Annie exited to the short-stay parking lot for reasons that remain unknown. There is no ATM in the parking lot, and her family believes she may have been meeting someone. The airport’s surveillance footage captured images of Annie fleeing the parking lot while displaying anger, maybe due to the failure of her rendezvous.

Other video evidence of Borjesson completing distances in times that re-enactors could not possibly reproduce without physically running suggests that frames have been removed and timings have been manipulated. In any case, Annie never boarded a plane and instead began walking a mile to Prestwick. It was about 3:15 p.m.

CCTV footage captured a person with a backpack walking along Station Road at 4:05. While authorities believe this is Annie, some disagree, claiming the individual is actually a guy. Police would view the footage as conclusive evidence of how Annie arrived at the beach.

“I have my doubts about this identification. I have vast experience analysing CCTV material, and I must state that the Station Road photos are useless. Given the time and travel direction, I may presume that it is Annie, but detectives should never assume. They operate with facts, not hypotheses… Annie was found on the shore, but the rest of the story is unknown. They simply lack a complete understanding of what transpired. They know the beginning and the conclusion, but not the midway. In this instance, they have not met my expectations.”

A quarter-hour later, at 4:30, two men walking on Prestwick beach saw a man standing near the water’s edge. The individual was standing unsettlingly still and stared out to sea. Continuing their stroll, they ultimately turned around and retraced their steps. The guy was still present and immobile. Concerned by their behaviour, the men feared that they were considering suicide. They disregarded the worry and returned home, attending to their own affairs. From 150 yards out, they could not determine if it was a man or a woman. Despite this, solicitor-general Frank Mulholland informed the Swedish embassy that “a witness statement suggested that someone matching [Annie’s] description was seen standing at the water’s edge and staring out to sea at approximately 16:30 hours.”

Frank Mulholland’s comments also disregard a second allegation indicating that Annie was observed conversing with two males on the shore between 4:30 and 5 p.m. on the same day. Uncertain if this implies the previous report was inaccurate or if the incident occurred between the men walking away and turning back, this report appears much more convinced that Annie was seen.

Annie’s body was discovered on the beach by a dog walker around 8.30 the following morning, along with her luggage and coat. Unusual, considering the influence of currents, and this fact has sparked rumours that the corpse was placed there. Later studies would reveal that she have unknown DNA on her hands.

Prior to an autopsy, the media reported that there were “no unusual circumstances” surrounding the death. This is a synonym for an accident, a disease, or a suicide. This information was obtained by the press from the police. In fact, the local authorities were so certain that the case included a suicide that they did not conduct door-to-door inquiries. In addition, no forensic team was dispatched to the scene. No swabs were taken. No fibres were collected. No water sample was taken. They never contacted the coastguard to search for Annie’s lost items, including her fleece top and Filofax.

She would record quotes, new words and expressions, the names of birds, unique days, and all manner of other topics that piqued her attention.

This folder typically contained both money and a contact list for everyone she knew.

The autopsy discovered an unexplained “depression” in the skin, minor bruises on the temple, scratches on the left arm, and square contusions on the right arm. These injuries had been caused by objects in the water, according to the police. However, the report did not contain the considerable bruising the undertaker discovered on the side, right arm, and behind the ear, which was bigger than what the pathologist had stated. The funeral directors were outraged that the injuries could have been caused by natural causes.

“We believe we possess the knowledge to distinguish between bruises and corpse patches on a body.”

The postmortem sample of body tissue contained microscopic diatom shells, identifying them as navicula lanceolata, which are found in freshwater and not saltwater. However, an independent investigation commissioned by the Borjesson family concluded that it was extremely unlikely that the algae originated from the ocean. Annie drowned in freshwater and was subsequently transported to the coast, which is an obvious conclusion. However, an expert noted that she “may have had it in her bone marrow long before she died” due to her consumption of tap water. The Swedish authorities refused to do additional tests on Annie’s body to confirm that she had died at sea.

“Although the species could be found in small numbers in a coastal habitat, it would not be one of the most prevalent species living or imported there. Therefore, it is improbable that the diatoms detected in the bone marrow originated from the ocean.”

Annie’s hair was determined to have been cut around 4 centimetres. It was initially feared that this was the work of a serial killer, but it was later determined that a mortician had clipped the hair because it was matted with dirt and other detritus. According to other undertakers, despite this reasoning, this is exceedingly unusual.

Annie’s mother, Guje, got into her Hotmail account in search of the lost contact information from the Filofax. It was wiped clean. It is unknown how this affects the Scottish Daily Record’s knowledge of the email sent to “Martin Leslie.” When Annie’s best friend Maria Jansson attempted to collect information about her own phone conversations to Annie around the time of her passing, she was unsuccessful. Months passed without a single call between Maria and Annie being recorded. Although Annie may have deleted the emails herself, the absence of phone records defied explanation. Or perhaps not.

Maria explored deeper after receiving threateningly quiet phone calls and experiencing difficulty accessing her email accounts. Maria uncovered the existence of Kristina Borjesson, an American journalist. Annie’s full name had been Annie Kristina Borjesson. In addition to being a local journalist who covered garage sales and college sports, Kristina was an outspoken opponent of US foreign policy. It is thought she was examining the CIA’s rendition operation at Prestwick airport.

While US policy on rendition dates back to the Reagan administration, it was during the War on Terror that the Bush administration began routinely transporting terror suspects to CIA black sites overseas. Thus, the security forces were able to circumvent their own country’s laws against torture. The British government under Tony Blair permitted these flights, which frequently carried illegally imprisoned inmates, to refuel and resupply at Prestwick. The Intelligence and Security Committee submitted a report regarding the scandal in 2018. Two of the report’s contributors, Dr. Sam Raphael and Prof. Ruth Blakeley, stated that they suspected Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, one of the 9/11 plotters, was on one of these flights. While the U.S. and British governments continue to formally refute the allegations, John Finnie, a Scottish Green MSP, stated that “airports under the direct supervision of Scottish ministers are complicit in the most heinous crimes.”

Using the alias Annie Borjesson, Kristina Borjesson may have attracted the undesired attention of security services such as MI5 or the CIA by claiming she was in Scotland to investigate Prestwick. While this may seem implausible, the Swedish government has since denied all demands to reveal their unredacted case files, citing “national interests” as a reason.

“Information declared classified as secret pursuant to Section 1 of Chapter 15 of the Public Access to Information and Secrecy Act has been redacted and appended to the attached file.

The rationale for this is that the information relates to Sweden’s ties with a foreign state and a foreign authority, and it can be assumed that a disclosure will affect Sweden’s international relations or national interests in some other way.

The British government has a lengthy history of espionage against dissident persons. Annie would have surely been suspected of being a Kristina Borjesson imposter. For four decades, the British police conducted a covert operation that has become known as the Spy Cops Scandal, employing 140 undercover operatives to report on over a thousand political organisations and generating countless secret reports on the actions of these “subversives.” These individuals were predominantly non-terrorists and included environmentalists, peace activists, socialists, liberals, and even sitting members of Congress.

The controversy has its roots in the protest movements of the 1960s, when police believed they required inside knowledge to prevent student and worker rallies. The undercover detectives went to great efforts to establish relevant personas for the target, including the use of the names of deceased children and the creation of forged documents. These policemen were so successful that they engaged in sexual relationships with several of their targets.

Annie had informed her father before her death that she was planning to get married. She inquired of her brother how individuals may be tracked using a computer. She requested that her family refrain from calling her house phone.

Her apartment was missing all of her necessities, makeup, toothbrush, and toothpaste. Also included were two fresh pairs of underpants and the T-shirt she slept in. Not discovered in her purse. This indicates that she slept somewhere the night before.

It is not beyond the realm of possibility to assume that Annie was approached by a similar undercover officer. This cop, not “Martin Leslie,” believed Kristina Borjesson had a cover story and ingratiated himself with her. She believed she had found love and was prepared to travel to Sweden with her boyfriend to surprise her family. Annie was distraught once the cop realised she wasn’t Kristina and abandoned her. Annie’s mother’s description of her daughter as “trusting” is however as applicable to a con artist.

Annie Borjesson’s decision to end her own life is baffling, given that she has made arrangements to return to Sweden. Nevertheless, the human mind is irrational, and a sudden impulsive decision cannot be ruled out among depressed individuals. Many of these facts sound suspect when grouped together, but less so when considered separately. Statements to Annie’s family could be indicative of a mental breakdown, police response could be a surprising lack of care and/or incompetence, quiet phone calls could be genuine mistakes, and many of us routinely erase emails. It is speculative whether they produce something greater when combined.

However, murder cannot be ruled out either. While the security services argument appeals to our justifiable concern of the state’s manipulations, it is improbable that they would murder a journalist who was a known open opponent of foreign policy. Similarly, it seems improbable that a case of mistaken identity so extensive and easily disproven would be made. Finding a photograph of Kristina Borjesson in 2005 was within the capabilities of even the most incompetent CIA agents. However, the stolen shirt and Filofax may be indicative of trophies taken by a murderer, and statements made to Annie’s family may indicate the influence of a controlling relationship or even a stalker, as some have theorised.

Annie’s interactions with “Martin Leslie” had been suggestive of a sexual predator, and his sudden reappearance in her life could indicate that he was intentionally targeting her. Similarly, it is possible that Annie was involved in an unknown relationship, either with “Leslie” or with an unknown person. According to a 2008 report in the Sunday Express, the man’s family is aware of his identity, hence it is doubtful that he was associated with the security services. Like the actual Martin Leslie, he is a rugby-playing New Zealander.

“She believed he was with the New Zealand Rugby Team throughout the major Rugby games. She also felt that ‘Martin Leslie’ had been too relentless in his attempts to get her to consume alcohol on multiple occasions. She declined his offer and speculated that it was one of the reasons for his odd and violent behaviour.”

Since her daughter’s untimely death, Annie’s mother has tirelessly advocated for a formal investigation into her daughter’s passing, including visiting with then-First Minister Alex Salmond in 2008. Renowned Scottish actor Ken Stott joined the family in demanding answers, and a petition with 3,000 signatures was sent to the Scottish Parliament at the end of 2013. Her appeals have been dismissed thus far, and her family has reportedly lost faith in Scottish justice.

“This is a beautiful country with kind and generous citizens. Please do not leave them and our family with all of these questions unanswered. The only thing we desire is a [Fatal Accident Inquiry] into Annie’s death. Please explain why Annie had to pass away in the land she cherished.”

Guje Borjesson is the mother of Annie

Annie was laid to rest in her remote Swedish hometown. Her mother makes a different scene for her every year, including colourful displays of flowers in the summer, hedgehogs and apples in the fall, and a gingerbread house and Christmas tree in the winter.

At the location where Annie’s body was discovered, a memorial plaque was placed in her honour. Nobody knows who placed it.

Annie Borjesson was born on February 7th, 1975. The body was discovered on December 4, 2005. Her loved ones never found out how or why. A blot on Scotland’s reputation for fairness.”
