The enigma that the Amsterdam Police want to solve with a hologram: a murder of a prostitute in the Red Light District

She is blonde, has short hair, a tattoo of a dragon that covers a large part of her body that goes from her chest to her waist, she wears a black top with yellow motifs and short jeans. With a red background and a chair in the middle, this girl knocks on the window three times to get your attention, then blows against it to create fog and write the word ‘help’. This is the young Hungarian Bernadett Szabóa prostitute who was tragically murdered in Amsterdam’s Red Light District in 2009.

The Police have set the objective of reopen his case to clarify the facts of his death. With a hologram that recreates Bernadett Szabó, better known as ‘Betty’, the authorities try to gather some clue that will give them hope to close the investigation. People who contact the Police with truthful information will receive compensation of 30,000 euros.

February 20, 2009 seemed to be just another day in the routine of the sex workers of the Red Light District, but ‘Betty’s colleagues noticed a detail. The young Hungarian woman used to listen to music at a very high volume in her living room, but her classmates realized that nothing was playing that day and that they had not seen her. When they decided to go look to see what was happening, they found the worst scene. ‘Betty’ had several stab wounds with a knifewas bathed in blood and had no pulse.

One of the worst news was confirmed that day because ‘Betty’ just three months ago, in December, she had given birth to her first child. This firstborn was later given up for adoption to a Dutch family. With the hologram, created with 3D display technology, It is intended to shed light to find the murderer. Szabó’s family participated in the recreation of the young Hungarian. This new police technique aims to find clues that are not only provided by local people, but also by foreign people who come to the Red Light District.

The Amsterdam Police have made available to citizens a toll-free 0800 – 6070 and an email [email protected] to present any evidence of ‘Betty’s case.
