Amsterdam Police hope hologram of sex worker will help solve 15-year-old unsolved murder

Police in Amsterdam are hoping a hologram of a teenage sex worker will help finally solve a mysterious 15-year-old unsolved murder.

The life-size visualisation will depict Bernadette ‘Betty’ Szabo, 19, who was stabbed multiple times in February 2009, behind a window in Amsterdam’s Red Light district.

The hologram will show Szabo to be sitting on a stool behind a window in a crop top and shorts as she leans forward, breathes on the glass, and writes the word ‘help’.

Officers believe that someone will have information on the dead woman, and seeing her moving will ‘help people feel a connection to her’ and encourage them to come forward.

The Amsterdam force said this was the first time it had used the hologram technique to try and solve a cold case but had hopes it would jog locals’ memories and help bring her killer, or killers, to justice.

Szabo was born in Hungary, but left for Amsterdam when she was 18 where she made money as a sex worker in the Red Light District. She carried on her work in the adult industry after becoming pregnant and gave birth to a son who was placed with a foster family. But on the night of February 19, 2009, two of her sex worker friends noticed they had not seen her in her work station on Oudezijds Achterburgwal. To their horror, when they checked on her again at 1a.m., they found her dead in her room having been stabbed dozens of times. (Daily Mail)
