Murder victim. A young life taken far too soon. She was a victim of a sensational murder case in the Netherlands that is still vividly remembered by the Tilburgers. No one was ever convicted of the crime, though it was later concluded that Pastor George Zinnicq Bergmann was the real perpetrator of the crime and the Roman Catholic church hierarchy of the day played a significant role in covering up the truth. Incidentally, Marietje's parents, Pastor Bergmann and the detective involved in the case are all buried within a 10-meter radius of the girl's final resting place. May this beloved child rest in heavenly peace.
