6-year-old Joslin Smith was last seen on February 19, 2024. Her mother had kept her at home because she was not feeling well and left Joslin in the care of her boyfriend Jacquen Appollis. Appollis claims he last saw Joslin while she was playing with friends outside. On February 20, 2024 a large search for Joslin was launched with police K9 units, NGOs, volunteers, helicopters and rescue boats. Joslin's mother, Racquel 'Kelly' Smith, her boyfriend Jacquen Appollis, Steveno van Rhyn, and Laurentia Lombaard faced charges of kidnapping and trafficking for purposes of exploitation. However, Laurentia Lombaard made a deal with the state in exchange for her testimony on her three accomplices.
