Marie Lilienberg and Maria Wahlen were a pair of Swedish tourists who were murdered by an unknown assailant while hitchhiking from Northern California to Los Angeles during July 1983. The case attracted significant media attention in the United States in the summer of 1983, before going cold for several years. It gained renewed interest in September 1991, following an anonymous phone call to the Swedish consulate in San Diego, which implicated a Canadian man named Loren in the murders. The anonymous phone call led to the case being featured in an April 1992 episode of Unsolved Mysteries. Loren and the anonymous caller were later identified by police, with the former never being charged for the murders. It is suspected that Loren may have been convicted serial killer Loren Herzog, although this has not been officially confirmed.
