Beau, die dogter van Pelser se lewensmaat, Linlee Solms, het aan TygerBurger <\/em>bevestig dat hulle nog besig is om alle agentskappe oor haar dood in kennis te stel om die soektog te staak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToe ons op die toneel aankom, was die ambulansdienste en polisie reeds besig met die ondersoek,\u201d s\u00ea Beau. Sy en haar ma gaan die liggaam Donderdag (29 Mei) uitken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hulle het die laaste aktiwiteit van Pelser se bankkaart by \u2019n hotel in Kaapstad opgespoor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lt.kol. Fienie Nimb, \u2019n woordvoerder vir die Bellville-polisie, het Pelser se dood bevestig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c \u2019n Selfdood word tans ondersoek. Pelser se liggaam is in \u2019n kamer by \u2019n gastehuis in Kaapstad ontdek. Sy het haarself Sondag daar ingeboek. Geen misdaad word in hierdie stadium vermoed nie,\u201d het Nimb ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pelser is Sondagmiddag (25 Mei) as vermis aangemeld. Volgens inligting van PinkLadies is sy as \u2019n \u201ckwesbare persoon\u201d beskryf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pelser se voertuig, \u2019n Hyundai i10, is Sondag laas (omstreeks 13:00) in Bruitengrachtstraat, Bo-Kaap, in die rigting Kloof Nek-weg, Kaapstad, gesien.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Haar voertuig, \u2019n Hyundai i10, is Sondag (25 Mei) omstreeks 13:00 in Bruitengrachtstraat in die Bo-Kaap in die rigting van Kloofnekweg, Kaapstad, laas gesien. Sy kon sedert dieselfde dag van 15:00 af nie weer op haar selfoon bereik word nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volgens \u2019n plasing<\/a> wat Solms op Facebook gedeel het, is Pelser se voertuig sedertdien nog nie weer op die polisie se License Plate Recognition (LPR)-stelsel gesien nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSy het oorspronklik van haar woning in Tygervallei, Bellville, waar sy alleen woon, vertrek,\u201d het Nimb bevestig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solms het Dinsdagoggend die volgende op \u2019n Facebookplasing gedeel: \u201cEk doen hierdie beroep uit absolute desperaatheid en hoop dat iemand my lewensmaat, Chantal Pelser, gesien het. Sy is sedert Sondagmiddag vermis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHaar foon hou aan met lui, dus vermoed ek haar battery het papgeraak.\u201d
