Brandevoort is a neighbourhood of Helmond in the Netherlands, located in the south-west of the municipality, just north of Mierlo. It is a Vinex-location and was built according to the principles of New Urbanism and New Classical architecture. As of 1 January 2014, the neighbourhood is home to approximately 9,000 people living in a total of 3,000 houses and apartments.The farmland had previously been part of Mierlo, but was annexed by Helmond in 1995. The overall plan of the projected Vinex neighbourhood was designed and guarded by the architects Paul van Beek (Paul van Beek landschappen BNT Amsterdam), Rob Krier and Christoph Kohl (K·K Gesellschaft von Architekten mbH, Berlin, now Christoph Kohl Stadtplaner Architekten GmbH), and Maarten Ouwens (Wissing Stedenbouw bv Barendrecht), in collaboration with Grontmij (with Jan Nijhof and Mariëlle Kok). Construction started around 1997 and is scheduled to finish in 2017. The neighbourhood will then have a population of approximately 18,000 and a total of 6.000 houses and apartments. Brandevoort is built around a central “fortress” called De Veste (“The Stronghold”), built in the style of the old cities like Amsterdam and other cities that started as a fortress (see maps of Brandevoort). Around this central core, there are the three small quarters of Schutsboom, Brand and Stepekolk, collectively called De Buitens ("The Outers"). These are built to have an atmosphere referred as "Brabantse gezelligheid" ("Brabantian cosiness/homeliness"). Although fitting together in the master plan, like in organically grown cities, these small villages have their own urban identity. In the centre of Brandevoort there is a small scale commercial area with several shops and a sizeable supermarket. There are a health care center, a community center, children day care and two primary schools. Brandevoort also has its own uniquely designed railway station, Helmond Brandevoort, which was built in the same style as the neighbourhood.

Her body was later found in the woods between the towns of Mierlo and Lierop on November 22, 1995.In 2011, van den Hurk's stepbrother confessed to the killing, but due to a lack of evidence, was released a month later. He would go on to state he had falsely confessed to get her body exhumed for DNA tests.DNA collected from Nicole's remains and from the crime scene led to the arrest of a man in January 2014, who is referred to only as Jos de G. (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈjɔz də ˈɣeː]) in media reports due to a commonly accepted privacy code from the Dutch media. Jos de G. was already convicted in other cases with the same modus operandi. The serial rapist was originally charged with rape and manslaughter, and was found guilty of rape in November 2016 and sentenced to five years' imprisonment. He was initially acquitted of the manslaughter charge, but after the prosecution appealed the acquittal, De G. was convicted of both rape and manslaughter and his sentence was increased to twelve years.
