Unidentified person

Driemond - Kanawa

On 17 September 1999, a man noticed an industrial waste container floating in the river Gaasp. The man decided to pull the container out of the water and into his boat, but as he did so, he smelled a corpse smell. The man notified the police, who found a body in the container, partially encased in concrete. It was the body of a woman who had been killed by gunshot.

  • Sex: Female
  • Estimated year of birth: 1964-1981
  • Estimated age: Between 18 and 35 years old
  • Height: 1.59 m.
  • Skin tone: Light-skinned

  • Clothing: The woman wore a dark cable-knit jumper and a turtle neck, and a black faux snakeskin backpack of the brand Esprit. She wore black shoes in size 36.

A facial reconstruction of the victim was made. The woman probably grew up in Western Europe: in Germany, Luxembourg, France, Belgium, the Netherlands or neighbouring countries. She may have had partially Asian roots, which may have shown in her eyes and nose. The waste container for industrial use of the brand Kliko was produced in 1998. In addition to the body, the container held men’s clothing, including a white jacket with a striking detail: a logo sewn in over a scorch mark. The waste container also held white bags of powder laundry detergent, possibly used to add weight to the container.
