SEDGEFIELD NEWS - Despite a massive search operation, 21-year-old Marie Ostbo from Norway has not yet been found.
The young student was last seen in Sedgefield on Wednesday 18 April.
In the meantime, the Norwegian press have been putting pressure on South Cape police spokesperson Captain Malcolm Pojie for answers.
A letter was sent to the Knysna-Plett Herald (KPH) from the mother of a friend, Kristin Bakkane, expressing her concern.
In the email (edited by KPH) Bakkane said, “I am very concerned, not so much based on search activities that we have heard of here in Norway, but what so far seems to have been omitted. It feels powerless, witnessing the search activities from afar and not even having the simplest questions clarified.”
She asked if the Knysna-Plett Herald could help.
On Thursday 26 April, Captain Pojie told KPH that all police and other resources are being deployed in a massive search.
This includes the police, K9 dog unit, National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI), SANParks, emergency medical services and volunteers from the local community.
