Students also alleged that she would crawl on all fours, bark, and run through school hallways.Residents of Meerstad also described what they viewed as unusual behaviour in the months before the killings. Neighbours have said they had seen the teenager running through the neighbourhood late at night, sitting on fences and rooftops, and hiding in bushes.As of now, Dutch authorities have not publicly released an official cause of death for Johan and Mathilda.
