NATIONAL NEWS - On Sunday, June 12, two Durban residents went missing. One has since been reunited with his family after his kidnappers demanded ransom.
Although the second man’s car has been found, there is still no trace of him.
A week has passed since Nicholas Fuller (35) went missing. He was last seen in the Carrington Heights area in Umbilo, Durban at about 21:30 on Sunday June 12, driving a charcoal-grey Hyundai 120.
According to Dawn Gounden of Renegades Search and Rescue, the vehicle has since been recovered, yet there is no trace of the missing man. She adds that search efforts have been thorough.
“The family and Renegades Search and Rescue have checked various state hospitals as well as a mortuary and prison and haven’t found anything so far,” says Gounden.
Fuller is described as a 1.8m tall man of about 105kgs in weight with short brown hair. He has a left upper-arm tattoo – a band including a moon, stars, birds and a tree. He was wearing a red jersey, beige trousers and grey takkies when he disappeared.
“We are seeking assistance from the public – anyone who comes forward to share any information that could assist the SAPS and Renegades Search and Rescue to find Nicholas Fuller,” says Gounden.

In another case, Morningside resident Chad Dorkin went missing on the same day after a carjacking that took place in Woodford Grove in Windermere.
Dorkin has since been found after a ransom was demanded for his release.
