The 20 April 1900, Nordlund was released from Långholmen and with the help of his younger brother, who was now living in Stockholm and working as a clerk, he went home to Gävle. Due to unruly behaviour in prison and other things he was to serve four years and according to letters written by himself in 1900, it was here his plan for the future took its final and drastic shape. In 1895 he received another three-year sentence which was to be served in Långholmen Prison in Stockholm, where he was enrolled as prisoner number two. The prison term was served at the county jail in Malmö. Later the same year he received his first long term prison sentence, this time for stealing, when he was sentenced to three years in prison.
Nordlund had gotten used to thieving during his time on the road and in 1891 he was arrested and sentenced to four months in prison for cattle rustling by a court in Ljusdal. His parents had now moved to Gävle Nordlund also lived there for a short period of time. Still he gave in to temptation and forged a bill, which got him fired from the lumber mill. For a brief period, one and a half years, he worked at a lumber mill in Korsnäs, which, according to himself, was the only time he tried to live an honest life. In 1887 he was on the run again, and as a person of both size and strength he had the ability to work, passing as an adult. Later that year, he was spotted by a friend of his parents in Hedemora, and returned to home. Instead he took to the road, at first with a classmate who was an orphan, in 1886. In 1882 the family moved to Falun where Nordlund went to school, but being of an impatient nature he never finished school.
Histories are told of the young Nordlund as an odd child who never laughed. He had two siblings, Joel, an older brother who was a deafmute, and a younger brother named Rickard. Nordlund was born in Övre Stubbersbo, near Säter outside Falun. John Filip Nordlund (also known as " Mälarmördaren", " Mordlund", " Svarte Filip") (23 March 1875 – 10 December 1900) was a Swedish mass murderer, the second to last person to be executed in Sweden (after Alfred Ander in 1910) and the last person to be executed through manual beheading in Sweden.
