Missing East man’s vehicle found abandoned in Brits
Police confirmed that what looked like blood was found in a vehicle believed to be that of Louis De Villiers (36).
The vehicle of a missing Pretoria man was found abandoned near Brits, North West, with what looked like blood in it.
36-year-old Louis De Villiers was reported missing Wednesday morning after leaving his house to visit his mother in Monument Park.
“He never made it to his mother’s house,” said Brooklyn police spokesperson Sergeant Webster Scheepers.
“A missing person’s case was reported before noon on that day by his partner at around 11:45.”
Scheepers said a car matching that of De Villiers’ was located at the Letlhabile mall near Brits later on the day of his disappearance. He said a fluid suspected to be blood was found inside the blue Isuzu bakkie.
“It is not known whether it is in fact blood and if it is that of a human or even that of the missing person.
“The fluid has been taken to the lab for analysis and based on that police will determine the direction of the investigation.”
De Villiers was last seen wearing jeans, with a green shirt and brown shoes. Scheepers asked for anyone with information on De Villiers’ whereabouts to contact the Brooklyn police station.
“Anyone with information can also give an anonymous tip-off on the MySAPS app or call their nearest police station.”
De Villiers family could not comment by the time of going to print.
