Girl Taken
A young couple from Cape Town, South Africa, Celeste and Mourne Nurse gave birth to their first baby, a girl whom they called Zephany. Three days later, Celeste woke up in her hospital room to find that her baby was missing from her cot. She and her husband rushed around the hospital but their child was nowhere to be found. The couple was entirely devastated, and for the next 17 years went through an extended cycle of hope, fear, and despair. Finally, her younger sister Cassidy finds her missing sibling less than 3km away from their home, but the most difficult part of the story is yet to playout.
