MOSSEL BAY NEWS - Police and other emergency crews are searching for Marie Brisley, a 54-year-old woman from Benoni who was last seen in Mossel Bay yesterday morning (Wednesday 18 October).
Brisley and her friend, James Thompson arrived in Mossel Bay on vacation on Tuesday 17 October and booked into their accommodation at Fair View Street in Pinnacle Point Estate.
On Wednesday 18 October at approximately 10:30, Brisley went for a walk.
James remained behind as he was tired of a walking trip the previous day.
He told the police that he went to sleep and when he woke up at 13:00 he realised Brisley had not yet returned home. He prepared lunch for the two of them and became worried when Brisley did not return.
