Mattias’s mother wants a sock for DNA testing
Published:
Mattias Borg’s disappearance eludes the police.
The main clue is that the 17-year-old had an accident, but mother Erika Borg does not want the police to focus only on diving after the son.
– I want you to do a DNA test on a sock. It was found in a forest area that a dog tracked down, she says.
Mattias Borg, 17, has been missing for two months. He was last seen on the night of December 5 in a residential area of Ljungby. Then he had left a party and asked passersby for the way to the center. After that, he must have run north on Sickingevägen and turned right towards some villages.
So there is no further information on where Mattias went.

Mattias Borg, 17, has been missing since December 5.
Police have two probable theories about the 17-year-old’s disappearance. It is an accident or a kidnapping.
– The main clue is that it is some kind of accident. When we have investigated the kidnapping, those criminal suspicions have been weakened. The preliminary investigation is ongoing but is not currently active, says Robert Loeffel, a spokesman for the Southern Police Region.
In mid-January, police tagged special search dogs in the water of the Lagan River. Dogs are trained to smell a dead person. Then the police deployed divers to the area, but they did not give any results.
Mattias may be far
Therefore, the police fear that Mattias may be further away, if now he has had an accident and ended up in Lagan.
– The dam hatches have been open for several hours sometime in December because there was a lot of water pressure. So a body may have been carried across the current south. But the power plant says it’s a slim possibility, explains Robert Loeffel.
On Wednesday, the dogs again marked Lagan over the Replösa bridge. It strengthens the police in their belief that they have targeted the correct area. The reason divers have not yet found a body may be because of the difficult conditions in the water.
– It’s very dark and full of garbage. Divers have to grope their way, says Robert Loeffel.

One of the theories of the police is that Mattias, for unknown reasons, ended up in Lagan.
New dives will begin next week in the Replösabron area.
– That there is someone on the ground is not a coincidence, it is so sought after, says Loeffel.
Several witnesses have testified that Mattias ran through a residential area of Sickingevägen before disappearing. He only had socks on his feet and he had no jacket.
– I understand you wanted to enter a house. Maybe he wanted to warm up or seek shelter. He could have felt persecuted, says Erika Borg, Mattia’s mother.
Dog tagged by sock
Erika Borg is grateful for the work of the police, but wonders why they didn’t DNA test a find. It is a sock that was found in a forest area.
– Sonja the hound followed the forest path several times and returned to the residential area. So Mattias may have been down that forest road, says Erika Borg.

According to Erika Borg, Mattias wore those socks. Now he hopes the police will match Mattias’s DNA to the sock.
– It is important. If his DNA is on him, then maybe that means he was scared and hid there, she says.
– I don’t want you to get stuck looking at Lagan. Then maybe you miss something.
Christina Severinsson of the Växjö Police, which is conducting the investigation into the abduction, does not want to comment on what was done with the sock or what other investigative measures the police carried out.
– I do not intend to leave any information to the media about it, he says.
Christina Severinsson confirms that the preliminary investigation into the kidnapping is ongoing, but that lead has gone cold.
– We have taken investigative measures that have not carried any further.
