Almost 32 years ago, the body of a woman was found in a water well near Leuven. To date, her identity remained unknown, but a fresh appeal for witnesses is hoped to change this.
On 6 August 1991, an unknown female body was found in a cistern in the Flemish-Brabant village of Holsbeek. The Federal Police stressed that the woman’s body may have been in the well, belonging to a chalet in the Attenhovendreef, for up to two years.
Now, at the request of the Leuven public prosecutor’s office, the Federal Police has made a fresh appeal for witnesses to help clear up the nearly 32-year-old case.
The victim was a woman aged 30 to 55, rather small in stature and about 1.54 metres tall. She had unkempt teeth and presumably wore a denture in the upper jaw. She also had several tooth fillings.
When she was found, the woman was wearing a beige or brown knitted cardigan with a belt, a T-shirt with black vertical stripes and a coloured image of two surfers and three palm trees and the message “Sun-Surf-Sea”, dark checked shorts with a brown square emblem with a crowned lion on the right leg and on the right middle finger she wore a ring made of plastic or horn.
