A 38-year-old woman, Julie Goodness, was last seen in Higgovale yesterday and has been reported missing to the police.
The Caucasian American woman is approximately 1.6m tall, weighing about 50kg, with dark brown hair and blue/grey eyes.
Her hair goes down to mid-back length and is usually worn in a ponytail.
She talks with an American accent and was last seen at approximately 07:45am on Bellevue Street on Monday, 24 April, wearing purple/pink long sleeve sports top, blue jeans and colourful sneakers with pinkish soles, and a big black oversized puffer jacket. She was carrying a canvas tote bag in a cream/off-white colour.
Goodness is a regular trail runner, so she may be on the mountain somewhere.
The matter has been reported to Cape Town Central SAPS.
If seen, please contact Warrant Officer Toua on 061 441 0530.
Goodness’s disappearance is the second recent incident where a foreign national has gone missing, resulting in a search by police and the public.
Last week, the family of Nick Frischke, a German tourist who has been reported missing, offered a reward of R20 000 to anyone who could provide information regarding his whereabouts.
Frischke, who was on holiday in Cape Town, was last spotted leaving his bed and breakfast located in Pinelands on 14 February. The 22-year-old vanished after allegedly being robbed on a hiking trail in Cape Town.
Authorities have been actively investigating the case, and with the added incentive, they hope that members of the public will come forward with information that may assist them in locating the missing tourist.
As per confirmation from a private investigator hired by the family, a reward of R20 000 has been announced in exchange for any information that can aid in the search for the missing person.
