Joslin Smith: Biological dad calls for arrest of mom, stepdad
Patriotic Alliance (PA) leader Gayton McKenzie who has been on the ground in the search for missing Joslin Smith as well as Joslin Smith’s biological father have called for the arrest of the missing child’s mom and stepdad…
Gayton McKenzie has backed calls by the biological father of Joslin Smith to have the missing child’s mother, Kelly, and her partner, Jacquin Appollis, arrested.
Jose Emke spoke to eNCA about his suspicions following the disappearance of his six-year-old daughter.
Joslin went missing from her home in Diazville, Saldanha Bay, on Monday, 19 February. At the time of her disappearance, she was in the care of her stepfather.
JOSLIN SMITH BIOLOGICAL DAD CALLS FOR ARREST
Speaking to eNCA, Joslin Smith’s dad, Jose Emke, claimed his ex-partner Kelly and her now boyfriend Jacquin Appollis were “hiding something.”
Emke – who is based in Northern Cape – claimed Kelly did not inform him about the disappearance of Joslin. Instead, he found out from other sources.
He said: “I don’t believe the stories they told because there are a lot of different stories.
“They could be in drug debt. The people who are selling drugs can even hurt my child.
He added: “They must be arrested and tell the police the truth about my child’s disappearance.”
Earlier this week, Kelly told Gayton McKenzie that her partner and her child were not at home when she returned from work the day Joslin disappeared. She called him, and they later searched for the child together before calling the police.
However, in a conflicting report to eNCA, Appollis – also known as Boeta – claimed he was “home all day.” He claims the child went to play at another house.
