#30 An unsolved mystery from the Netherlands.
For the Netherlands it’s Dascha Graafsma. A 16 year old girl who left a bar at 2am and was hit by a train at 5.45. The death was ruled a s*****e almost immediately despite Dascha being a happy social girl that loved life. The investigation was closed. It becomes strange when you know she was not just hit almost 4 hours after leaving the bar, but also 5km from the bar, and nowhere near her home or any location familiar to her. It becomes even stranger when you find that the police never really investigated what happened in those almost 4 hours. It becomes even stranger when you hear she had d***s in her system where her friends swear they never did d***s. It becomes even even stranger when you look deeply into the given statements by the traindriver, who claimed he honked the horn 3 times and that Dascha was looking at him with her arms spread. However forensic investigations found Dascha was hit in her back and none of the passengers of the train nor people living next to the track heard any horns, only the loud bang when the train hit Dascha.
The parents, frustrated with the police investigation hired their own investigators and found a whole lot of evidence, from her phone and ID in completely different locations, to camera footage showing her walking in strange locations but also missing camera footage from several directions. But most importantly, they found that her watch kept track of her movements, and she only moved several hunderd meters, but nowhere near the 5km to the train tracks. The parents also found out that a guy who texted Dascha strange messages that same night, that the police claimed was a child so they didn’t really investigate, was in reality a 27 year old guy with a criminal record.
