On Saturday evening, the National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) activated a team following a report from police of a missing woman at Camps Bay.
“Police had responded to the scene where eyewitnesses claimed that earlier, at around 8.30pm, an unidentified white female, believed to be aged between 45 and 50, wearing a white bikini, had entered the water and they had not noticed her coming out of the water,” said Luke van Riet, NSRI Bakoven station commander.
“A beach towel, a dress, a bag with personal belongings and a hat, belonging to the lady, remained on the beach. There is nothing in the bag that identifies the female.”
The NSRI and police conducted a search.
“While there remains no sign of the female, no persons have come forward reporting anyone missing that may be related to this case.”
On Sunday NSRI teams conducted an extensive search “but there remains no new leads into this case.”
