Mother believes her missing child was drugged

THE Impala Park woman who was found after being missing for about 30 hours, was found bruised in an open veld in Bredell on Monday afternoon.

Margaretha Compaan (29) told authorities the last thing she could remember was going to the bathroom at Presleys in Boksburg. She woke up in a small room.

Her mother, Catherine Verwey, who was relieved at finding her daughter, told Boksburg Advertiser her child had bruises, cuts and a swollen face, which clearly indicateed she had been assaulted. She believes her daughter had been drugged.

Verwey said Margaretha escaped from the room through a window. She hid in a veld after she could not find help at a house.

“After knocking at the gate without finding help, she ran and hid in the veld nearby, where she was found and the police were called,” she said.
