## Resource

In the early hours of May 1, 1999, sixteen year old Marianne Vaatstra disappeared while cycling home through the quiet countryside of Friesland in the Netherlands. Later that morning, her body was discovered in a field near the village of Veenklooster, the victim of a brutal rape and murder. The crime shocked the nation and quickly became one of the most controversial investigations in Dutch history. For more than thirteen years, the killer remained unknown, until finally a groundbreaking DNA investigation finally revealed the truth.
