On Christmas Day of 1990, hikers on a trail in the Cadettenkamp forest near the A27 Motorway close to Breda, Netherlands, stumbled across the remains of a young woman. Her body was wrapped in a rug, which was then covered with several blankets.
The victim, dubbed Teteringen Girl after the area where she was discovered, was believed to be between fifteen and twenty-five years old. She was wearing burgundy corduroy pants and a Carine-brand red turtleneck sweater, which at the time could only be purchased in Belgium. No shoes, socks, or undergarments were found with the remains.
Authorities estimated that the girl stood about five-foot-four. Additionally, she had an olive complexion and was believed to be of Moroccan descent, likely hailing from a Moroccan community in Antwerp, Belgium.
Though her cause of death was found to be exhaustion and starvation, the fact that cigarettes had been put out on her skin and someone had apparently bitten her a number of times, as well as the attempted concealment of her remains, indicated that she was probably murdered.
Though some arrests were made in connection with the crime not long after she was found, no convictions resulted. Her body was exhumed in 2006 to retrieve DNA, but as of this writing, the identity of neither the victim nor the killer are known. Like the previously discussed Huel Girl, Teteringen Girl is one of 22 unidentified women found dead in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany between 1976 and 2019 who are the subject of Operation Identify Me.
