Body found hidden in home of 94-year-old missing for years
The suspicious box found in a missing elderly woman's apartment on Berkenstraat in Oisterbeek on Thursday contains human remains, the Maastricht Academic Hospital determined. The police believe that the remains belong to the missing woman herself.
The investigation is now in the hands of the Netherlands Forensic Institute. They will try to identify the victim. According to the police, the initial results of the NFI's investigation can be expected next week.
The missing woman's son was arrested on Wednesday in connection with her disappearance. He was living in the home where the box was found.
