Cold Case Haarlem

Some creepy happenings in our neighborhood last week.  The police moved in on our local park, shut down traffic, put up barricades that you couldn't see through and manned it 7x24 with armed guards for three days.  TV crews quickly showed up and it turned into a real circus.

We later learned that they were dredging the canal looking for a body from a 20 year old murder.  According to our friends who lived here, the police botched it in the original search and were somewhat compelled to try again with new technology so many years later.  I still don't know why they had to be so clandestine about everything.  The national defense squad even showed up for a while.  It was definitely creepy...but also interesting to see the "white suites" in action.

Anyone know if they found anything?

All this and Halloween just around the corner...
