Who was Dateline victim Hanna Hove? What happened to her?

Johanna “Hanna” Hove Becker was born in Sweden but moved to Florida with her parents when she was six.

In 2005, while pursuing psychology, she met a Navy soldier, Craig, at her University, and the two immediately fell in love. As told by her friends on Dateline, Hanna was very excited to meet Craig, and the two had an impromptu wedding on the beach.

However, cracks soon appeared in their perfect domestic life because of Craig's profession. He was put in charge of a 19-man bomb disposal unit and was often away from home on long overseas assignments. Hanna's friends also revealed how Craig was controlling and did not allow her to meet her friends.

In October 2015, the couple was already sleeping in separate bedrooms in their Belgium penthouse and was headed for a divorce. Hanna has also started a relationship with another man Chris.

On October 8, 2015, Hanna plunged to her death from her Belgium penthouse, which is 75 feet above the ground. She suffered massive internal bleeding and was immediately rushed to the hospital. However, she died moments after being taken to the hospital.

Dateline victim Hanna's father helped solve his daughter's murder

While the police ruled out Hanna's death as an accident. Her father argued that she could not commit suicide.

As told by correspondent Dennis Murphy on Dateline:

“I’ll never forget the detective dad in this story...He passionately chased after the truth behind his daughter’s mysterious death. Did he have obstacles in his way? Plenty of them, not the least of which was the unimaginable grief that comes with losing a child.”

During the investigation, the police only found a small trace of wine in Hanna's blood, unlike what her husband said in his statement. Later, a Major from Craig's office reported that he had seen Craig take out a bag of pink pills before Hanna's death. Five months later, he was arrested for his wife's murder.

Seven years after Hanna's death and after multiple efforts by her father to prove that it was not suicide, it was proved that Craig had mixed sleeping pills in Hanna's lasagna and later plunged her to her death.

She somehow regained consciousness and tried to fight for her life, but Craig was successful and threw her and later disguised it as suicide because of her mental health.

The court found Craig guilty, and he was sentenced to life imprisonment with the possibility of parole.
