Authorities in Amsterdam are using a picture of a murdered sexual worker to provide fresh information regarding her unsolved situation. Bernadett” Betty” Szabó was found dead in her Red Light District workstation in February 2009.
Szabó, originally from Hungary, was 19 years old and the mother of a three-month-old child at the time of her demise. She was reportedly stabbed several times, according to police. Despite an considerable research, her criminal was not found.
The picture, displayed in a glass where Szabó used to operate, shows her photo knocking on the cup and mouthing the word “help”. According to a CNN statement, authorities hope it may spur anyone with information to share their information.
According to Benjamin van Gogh, representative of the Amsterdam Wanted and Missing Persons Team, it is difficult to say what it takes to find potential witnesses to give us their details, according to CNN. ” Betty’s image may elicit a person’s interest and persuade them to come ahead,” she said. In this kind of situation, we often try to identify the target so that the perpetrators can identify them, and the picture serves as a further step.
According to a speech from Dutch officers, Szabó grew up in poverty in the Romanian city of NyÃregyháza. At 18, she moved to Amsterdam and began working as a woman. Shortly after, she became pregnant, and the beginning of a boy was in November 2008. She continued to work throughout her pregnancy.
Three months later, she was discovered dead in her desk, lying in a pool of blood, according to authorities.
Police consulted with Szabó’s community before launching the campaign. They are offering a €30, 000 (around$ 32, 160 ) reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of her killer, according to CNN.
Anyone with information about this should touch the Amsterdam officers.
