A backpack and cellphone belonging to missing 22-year-old German tourist Nick Frischke have been recovered in Cape Town.
Frischke left his Airbnb in Pinelands, Cape Town, on February 14 but never returned, prompting an extensive search on the Hangberg trail between Hout Bay and Sandy Bay where he was allegedly dropped off to go hiking.TimesLIVE reported last week that Frischke’s visa card was found and recorded in a police logbook of stolen property.
The CPF on Friday denied the tourist had been found despite “a massive effort from authorities and volunteer services . The search is ongoing and despite the many rumours doing the rounds, he has not been found.“The police investigation is at a sensitive stage and everyone is requested to avoid spreading rumours and conjecture. Please remember there are family members on social media platforms and second-hand rumours are distressing to loved ones.
