Eight months after Joshlin Smith vanished, and just as her family celebrated her seventh birthday on Wednesday, chilling details have surfaced about what could have happened to the little girl.
It has now been seven months since six-year-old Joshlin Smith went missing from Diazville, Saldanha Bay in the Western Cape.
Last week, a woman who claimed to have been in Pollsmoor Prison with Kelly said she was told where the child was.
A Gauteng couple reported a tip to the international Human Trafficking Hotline Web Chat about a ship that was leaving Saldanha Bay harbour days after Joshlin Smith’s disappearance.
The mother of the missing Saldanha Bay girl, Joshlin Smith, is pregnant while awaiting trial behind bars in Cape Town’s notorious Pollsmoor Prison.
More than 1,300 children are kidnapped every month, according to Missing Children South Africa, with SA ranked first on the African continent in kidnappings and seventh-highest worldwide.
