The 64-year-old Louis van Dam was shot dead with six bullets. Remarkably, no goods were taken. At the time, three suspects were arrested in this case, but they were later released due to lack of evidence. No one was convicted in 1992.

Cold Case Investigation

Despite very extensive investigation in 1992, the murder of Louis van Dam has never been solved. A few years ago, renewed attention was requested for this case via the cold case calendar. In 2022, new information came to the police. The investigation has been discussed multiple times on Opsporing Verzocht and in Team West. The cold case team, which investigates unresolved very serious crimes, has re-examined this case. In that investigation, a 70-year-old suspect arrested in March 2025 came into focus. The suspect has been in custody since his arrest.
