This hologram, designed to represent Bernadette ‘Betty’ Szabo, a 19-year-old woman from Hungary who was murdered back in 2009 is currently ‘haunting’ Amsterdam’s Red Light District in a bid to help solve the cold case.
The hologram of the young victim asks passers-by for help from a stool behind the window of a building in Korte Stormsteeg.
Anne Dreijer-Heemskerk from the cold case team said “She was a young girl, just 19, who met a terrible death. She did not have an easy time of it before she died either. She worked long days as a sex worker and kept on working right up to the birth of her son. He was taken in by a foster family and never knew his mother. Betty was killed in one of the busiest places in Amsterdam, or perhaps in the country. Somebody must have seen or heard something unusual, or heard someone talking about the case”.
The cold case team is convinced that someone has more information about her killing and hope the campaign will encourage them to come forward.
A €30,000 reward has also been offered for information that leads to an arrest.
