Reward Doubled in Unsolved Murder Case of Louis van Dam

Reward Doubled in Unsolved Murder Case of Louis van Dam

Authorities increase reward to €30,000 for information leading to resolution of 1992 homicide in The Hague.
The Dutch authorities have announced a significant increase in the reward for information leading to the resolution of the murder case of Louis van Dam, a resident of The Hague, from €15,000 to €30,000.

The enhancement of the reward was disclosed on Tuesday as part of the ongoing efforts to solve the case that has remained unsolved for over three decades.

Louis van Dam, colloquially known as 'Loek,' was found deceased on January 28, 1992, in a garage located on Kritzingerstraat in the Transvaalkwartier neighborhood of The Hague.

The investigation into his death revealed that the 64-year-old victim had been shot six times.

Despite extensive investigations by law enforcement agencies, the circumstances surrounding Van Dam's murder have not been uncovered, leading to public appeals for information and increased efforts to engage the community in assisting the investigation.

The doubling of the reward reflects a renewed commitment by authorities to solve this cold case, which has drawn attention due to its long duration and the significant public interest surrounding unresolved violent crimes in the Netherlands.

The local police have encouraged anyone with relevant information to come forward, emphasizing that even small details may be crucial in shedding light on the case.

The increase in the reward is part of a broader initiative to reinvigorate public interest and support in cold cases, as authorities seek to bring closure to affected families and ensure justice is served.
