In Schagen, North Holland, a square is named after Tanja Groen, who has been missing since 1993. There will also be a memorial on the square for her and crime reporter Peter R. de Vries, who paid a lot of attention to her disappearance.
The memorial will also include a QR code that allows visitors to read the reason for this sign. The memorial is currently being worked on, reports the municipality of Schagen.
Groen was born in June 1975 in Schagen, where she also grew up. After her eighteenth birthday she moved to Maastricht to study there. During the introduction week in 1993, she disappeared when she cycled to her room in the village of Gronsveld after a party at the Circumflex student association. Since then, every trace of her has been missing.
De Vries started a crowdfunding campaign in June 2021 to raise at least 1 million euros. That money would be available for one year to the person who provided the golden tip. De Vries started the collection on what would have been Groen’s 46th birthday. At the beginning of July 2021, he was in Schagen to ask local entrepreneurs for help. He was shot a day later and died more than a week later.
De Vries’ foundation has received hundreds of tips about Groen in recent years, but the golden tip was not among them yet.
