Dutch police are again using hologram technology in an effort to solve a cold case, this time to track down a man who raped a 15-year-old girl in woods near Bilthoven in 2009.
The girl was attacked while cycling home from school. The suspect, aged between 30 and 40, smelled of alcohol and appears in the hologram as he did at the time.

Dutch police are again using hologram technology in an effort to solve a cold case, this time to track down a man who raped a 15-year-old girl in woods near Bilthoven.
The aim is to trigger the general public, spokeswoman Suzanne Lesquillier said. “The model probably won’t look exactly like the suspect from 2009 and some details might be wrong,” she said. “But we hope people will ask themselves: could this be my neighbour, my colleague, my nephew?”
Police first used a hologram in 2021, leading to the arrest of a man who had raped two teenage girls in a storage room in a housing complex. He was jailed for six years.
In 2024, a second attempt involved a 3D image of a sex worker who had been murdered in Amsterdam, but without success.
I think there’s a translation error or something lol because that’s just a 3d render that they had an AI generate from a sketch, i thought they ment an actual light/laser display to put them in the police station virtually or something like that Tupac or MJ performance
Picture on the left seriously looks like Tom Hanks from Castaway.
They must be needing a new guy for the national volleyball team
