flag In 2011, Andy van den Hurk falsely confessed to his step-sister Nicole van den Hurk’s 1995 murder to push authorities to exhume her body for DNA testing. flag Her body was exhumed in 2011, revealing genetic material from two men, including Jos de G, a 46-year-old former psychiatric patient with a history of sexual assault. flag De G was charged with rape and murder in 2014 but acquitted of murder due to uncertainty over consent, sentenced to five years for rape, a ruling upheld by the Dutch Supreme Court in 2020. flag The case remains unsolved, but the DNA evidence marks a major breakthrough.
