The case
On 25 December 1990, the body of a young woman was found in the woods in Teteringen, near Breda, in the Netherlands. Her identity was never established. However, it is clear that she was killed and had probably been neglected and abused before her death. The body was found close to the A27 motorway near Breda, less than a 30-minute drive from the Belgian border.
Characteristics
For at least five years before her death, the victim probably lived in the Netherlands or a similar country (most likely in central Europe, such as Belgium, Luxembourg, France or Germany).
Based on photos of the victim and technical information from police experts, a drawing was made showing what the girl or woman would have looked like when she was still alive. When the victim was found she had short hair, but it is possible that she had previously had longer hair. When she was found, she was very thin and emaciated.
The body was wrapped in several rugs and blankets.
