Anne Faber

Crime Connections

In September 29th 2017, Anne Faber, a young woman from Soest, Netherlands, embarked on a bike ride to Den Dolder.

Anne sent a selfie to her boyfriend, indicating her attempt to brave the rain en route to her destination. This would be the last communication from her. Concern grew when she failed to return, prompting her family to report her missing immediately.

For ten agonizing days, Anne's loved ones, along with authorities, scoured the area in search of any trace of her. The discovery of Anne's coat on October 3rd, followed by her bike on October 5th, and her backpack on October 6th, only deepened the sense of dread and urgency.

On October 9th, a breakthrough came when suspect Michael Panhuis was arrested under suspicion of involvement in Anne's disappearance. Shockingly, just two days later, he confessed to the crime.

The disappearance of Anne Faber and the subsequent arrest and confession sent shockwaves through the community and raised questions about safety and security. This weeks podcast explores the timeline of events surrounding Anne's disappearance, the efforts to find her, and the ultimate resolution of the case.
