Intensified steps to determine the whereabouts of kidnapped Jewish war orphan Anneke Beekman are now being taken, in accordance with an understanding between the Dutch Minister of Justice Dr. Donker and his Belgian opposite number, Dr. Lilard. The intensive investigation will also attempt to discover Miss Elizabeth van Moorst, who is known to have accompanied the girl, and the Dutch Mother Superior of the Bannuex Covent in Belgium.
The Amsterdam newspaper “Warhied,” reported that Dutch detectives had visited, for the second time, the Convent of St. Vincent de Paul in the Belgian village of Aubel, in hopes of finding Anneke. But, according to the report, she was whisked away just before their arrival. Mother Superior Sevenans is believed to have gone into hiding in Nancy, France.
