Death of Katrien De Cuyper

On the evening of 17 December 1991, Belgian teenager Katrien De Cuyper (Dutch pronunciation: [kɑˈtrin də ˈkœypər]) disappeared in Antwerp. Six months later, her body was discovered in the port of Antwerp. In 2006, a 35-year-old man from Kessel, who had written to a magazine saying that he was with her on the night she disappeared, was arrested and charged with her kidnapping and murder; he was released four months later due to a lack of evidence. The case remains unsolved.
