“She has cycled away and disappeared,” Corrie Groen said in August 2018 about the disappearance of her daughter Tanja, when 25 years ago. “Nothing has been found of her, not a single trace. We still cannot understand how she just disappeared.”
This may change soon. The police are making this morning open a grave at a cemetery in Maastricht after a tip.
disappeared on the way home at night
18-year-old Tanja Groen from Schagen went to Maastricht in August 1993 to study health sciences. She became a member of student association Circumflex and participated in the hazing, which ended on August 31 with a big party.
Just after midnight on September 1, she left the clubhouse in the center and cycled to her room in Gronsveld, about 7 kilometers away. “A particularly scary way to cycle in the dark,” said the chairman of Cirumflex at the time in the Limburgs Dagblad. Green never arrived.
