Error? Or am I missing something?

I had to go back and re-read the first 2 chapters, looking for help in understanding a conversation between Patrik & Martin. Maybe someone can shed some light on this for me. In the edition I am reading, this occurs on page 30, so not far into the book.
Patrik & Martin are discussing the 2 girls who went missing in 1979. They are going over information from an old file that Patrik located. Patrik outlines the basic information about the disappearance of the 2 girls. Martin says, "Yes, now that you mention it, I do remember those cases. There was a suspect, wasn't there?" Patrik points to a typed name in the report, and says, "Stefannes Hult. It was his brother, Gabriel Hult,who called the police..." Two paragraphs later, Patrik goes on to say that Johannes was brought in for questioning and then later, Johannes was released.
So is it STEFANNES who was a suspect, or was it JOHANNES? If it was Johannes, that was the father of Stefan Hult. So is this a misspelling, or should the first sentence have read Johannes?

Johannes was the suspect not Stefannes. I do not remember any Steffans in the book. :)
I’m just getting around to reading this… and I am googling like crazy trying to figure out this same thing. I think it was an error in the book. I haven’t finished yet so no spoilers please but is that the case? We’re the names an error?
