Search continues as panic grows over missing mother and son

The 24th hour of Luschka and Daniel Taljaard's disappearance is drawing closer with no news of their whereabouts while the Hendrina community continues their frantic search of the young mother and son.

Investigator, Morney Vos from Mike Bolhuis’ Specialised Security Services confirmed to the Middelburg Observer that Luschka (27) and Daniel (4) have still not been found and that they are hotly pursuing every available lead.

Lushka and Daniel went missing yesterday morning after husband and father, Coetzee Taljaard, last saw them on their home’s CCTV footage at around 09:55.

Mr Taljaard said that his wife didn’t have any plans to his knowing and he is not sure where they went before he lost all contact with his wife.

The silver VW Polo, which they are believed to have travelled in, was found abandoned at the entrance to the Kwazamokuhle township on the Arnot road later the afternoon, six kilometres away from their home.

The location where the Polo was discovered gave no explanation and was explained as a route far from any amenities Luschka might have wanted to go to.
