WESTERN CAPE. – The investigation into Joshlin Smith's disappearance remains active, despite the convictions already secured in connection with the case. "The priority remains to find Joshlin and provide answers to her family."
Col. Andrè Traut, police spokesperson, told Nuusflits Police do not usually comment on statements or opinions of persons outside the investigation. Information that may have evidential value is assessed through established investigative processes to determine its relevance and credibility. All information received since Joshlin's disappearance has been assessed by investigating officers and followed up where necessary. Police say the investigation has not been concluded and efforts to locate Joshlin are continuing.
Rev. June Dolley Major, who is involved in the search, held a media conference and said that a volunteer search team has found various items in the Saldanha dunes over the past two years. According to her, these could possibly be linked to Joshlin's disappearance. She has appealed to police to properly investigate the items and submit them for forensic testing.
