Missing Terenure teen found at Norkem complex
Her mother said they were on their way to drop her off at a Nelspruit boarding school
THE Terenure girl who went missing on Saturday has been found safe and sound, just in time for her 13th birthday today.
Autumn Wiseman went missing on Saturday after a man was seen fetching her from her friend’s house. She was apparently “forcefully” taken.
The grade 7 pupil, who was 12 when she went missing, was found on Tuesday at Norkem Manor in Norkem Park.
She was found by her mother Danta and community members who were helping her after they got a tip-off about the girl’s whereabouts.
Wiseman was kept at the complex by a resident who had found her with the man, apparently while she was trying to run away from him.
“The person who found her said she was looking very scared,” Danta said.
When EXPRESS spoke to Danta on Wednesday morning, they were on their way to Nelspruit, where Autumn was being taken to boarding school.
“So far I haven’t opened a case against the man or even had a chance to speak to the police, but as soon as I’m back from dropping my daughter off at the school, I will make sure to sort everything out.”
Although she wasn’t physically hurt, Danta said her daughter was still scared and tired from the whole ordeal.
