While some were trying to justify Peter’s story, there were still many people who were skeptical of Peter’s story. They could not believe that someone could have possibly survived so long on their own in a car. Later it was discovered that Peter had come under a lot of debt before he apparently disappeared. His neighbors also told that Peter’s girlfriend also used to live with him but not too long before his disappearance she ran away.

From the spot his car was recovered, one could easily hear plenty of snowmobiles revving through. Which implies that people weren’t exactly away from his reach and if he really wanted to, with a little effort he could have attracted the attention of people passing through. Even one of the police present during the rescue of Peter claimed that he himself could easily escape the car if he wanted to.

Something Appeared Strange

“It wasn’t snowed in. Not the right passenger door…If you look at the back door, on the left side, it was very compacted snow, but on the right side, it was very loose snow,” Andreas Gidlund told the news. Even the car’s door looked as if it had been opened very often. So It wouldn’t be incorrect to assume that they had been in use all this time while it was snowing.
