== Suitcase Murder == Gåsö gained some notoriety in August 1969 when a suitcase containing the dismembered remains of a woman was found in the water by two divers. The incident was known as the Suitcase Murder (). The woman was identified as Countess Margareta af Forselles, of the af Forselles family, from Gothenburg. The case was closed and a suspect was never arrested
