Nathalie Geijsbregts disappeared on the morning of 26 February in the Flemish Brabant village of Leefdaal. She had been dropped off to get the bus to school. However, Nathalie, then, aged 10, never got onto the bus. What happened to her remains unclear to this day.
Nathalie’s father never gave up hope that she would be found. In April this year he told VRT News’ weekday current affairs programme ‘Terzake’ that "Last year, DNA samples were taken from Nathalie's mother, our son and myself”. The interview followed the discovery of Britta Cloetens' body in a forest in Dinant. Britta Cloetens had been missing for 12 years. He remains were identified thanks to DNA.
