He spent his early years attending Oslo’s public schools, including Oslo Commerce School, Ris Junior High, and Smestad Grammar.

Teachers praised his intelligence and physical prowess, but he also appeared emotionally distant, unusually control-obsessed, and sometimes protective of bullied peers. At the time, educators and child psychologists largely ignored or failed to recognize those characteristics, which were remarkably similar to early warning indicators of personality…
