"The investigating team immediately launched a manhunt in a bid to locate the missing person," Swartbooi said, adding detectives proceeded to an address of a woman in Yale Road, Belhar, who visited the practice the previous day."The husband of the female could not give an account of the whereabouts of his wife.
"Witnesses, who were questioned in the vicinity, placed the female at the crime scene when they confirmed that she was driving a white motor vehicle, believed to be the victim's motor vehicle, with an unknown man and two occupants." He added West Coast police were alerted and the officers followed up on a second address mentioned in the file found at the practice.
