Search for abducted woman called off

The search for a missing woman who was allegedly abducted while hitchhiking between Grahamstown to Fort Beaufort earlier this month has been discontinued as no one has reported the woman missing, Grahamstown police said Thursday.

The search for a missing woman who was allegedly abducted while hitchhiking between Grahamstown to Fort Beaufort earlier this month has been discontinued as no one has reported the woman missing, Grahamstown police said Thursday.

Two young women were picked up by a white VW Golf while hitchhiking three weeks ago and were being held in Fort Beaufort when one of the women got away, according to the woman who escaped.

Captain Mali Govender told Grocott's Mail at the time that a case of kidnapping and pointing a firearm had been opened. However, the case took a strange twist Thursday when Govender said there is no case as no one reported the missing woman to the police.

"We're not sure whether she's still at Fort Beaufort because there was no case reported with the police," Govender said.

The woman who escaped, who asked not to be identified, said she didn't know the other woman, that they had just been hitchhiking together. At the time she told Grocotts that one of men was carrying a gun.

"I panicked and started sending a text message to my mother, and that’s when they took our cell phones,” she said. She said she talked them in to letting her go.

Mzolisi Pasiya, a family friend of the woman found, said she is undergoing counselling as she is still distraught by the ordeal.
