Police start campaign in Amsterdam Red Light District to solve cold case of murdered sex worker
Amsterdam - Starting on 9 November, the Amsterdam police is about to make an ultimate attempt to find out who killed 19-year-old sex worker Bernadett ‘Betty’ Szabó in 2009. In an extensive week-long campaign in the Amsterdam Red Light District, various methods will be deployed to draw the public’s attention to this young woman’s tragic death. The most eye-catching of these is a hologram based on Betty’s looks which is behind a window and asks passers-by to help solve the case.
International appeal for the identification of 46 deceased women
The Netherlands - On Tuesday 8 October, police forces in six countries, including the Netherlands, together with INTERPOL, will launch a new campaign to establish the identity of unknown deceased women. Most of them died as a result of violence or under suspicious circumstances. Two more cases have been added to the nine Dutch cases included in the first campaign. In May 2023, the first edition of Identify Me yielded about 1,800 tips offs and resulted in an identification in a 30-year-old murder case. The hope is that thanks to this new international public appeal, more women will be given back their names.
