On the 28th of May 2018, Felicity Cilliers disappeared in Stellenbosch. When her body was found two days later, her father was sure that the case would be resolved quickly, there was so much evidence against the man he knew had done it after all. He could have no idea that he was about to embark on a decade-long fight for justice for Felicity.
When his daughter’s body was found two days later, however, Johannes embarked on a decade-long fight for justice.
Despite Johannes having all the evidence police would have needed to convict her killer in 2007, and a DNA sample waiting in the lab to be compared with the suspect’s profile, the man would be ignored by the SAPS for 10 years.
It would take one police officer who refused to let Felicity’s murderer walk free to team up with Johannes and finally put the offender behind bars for life.
In episode 111 of True Crime South Africa we delve into one father’s battle for justice for his daughter and the lives that were lost because an investigating team forgot about Felicity.
