Nurse Magdeline Makola was found in the boot of her car after she had been missing since Dec.15,2008. She had been through a terrible ordeal & is deeply traumatized from it. I hope that Miss Makola will be able to overcome the emotional turmoil that she must be in at this time. My prayers go out to her & I hope they find the monster who did this. It was someone that she had been acquainted with 5 years earlier. Here's more from the Telegraph.co.uk:
"More than 20 detectives joined the search for Miss Makola after she failed to turn up for work at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary on Dec 18, three days after she was last seen.
When police searched her home, they found her work bag ready with her uniform and a packed lunch.
Her passport was in the house, but her car was gone. Over the next eight days, sightings of the car were reported in Airdrie, Glasgow and Livingston.
Police traced the vehicle to Airdrie through financial transactions made with Miss Makola's bank card.
Systematic searches were then carried out on every street in the town, which led to her being found.
Chief Insp Tague said Miss Makola, a South African who has been in this country for six years, was suffering from hypothermia.
She was also dehydrated and in "a very traumatised state" when she was found. There was "no evidence" of sexual or other physical assault and she suffered only minor injuries, he said. The abductor did not demand a ransom.
"Although not physically injured, she is extremely traumatised and this has made interviewing her extremely difficult," he said.
Specially trained officers had been drafted in to interview the nurse.
Miss Makola's relatives in South Africa have been informed and were said to be "deeply upset" by reports of her ordeal. One of Miss Makola's neighbours, Veronica Gijima, 26, said her sister Rhoda was called by Miss Makola before she was abducted.
"She told my sister that a man had been banging on the door and she was frightened and refused to let him in," Miss Gijima said.
Police are hunting the suspected abductor, described by police as black, aged 20 to 40, 6ft tall, stocky and with dreadlocks.
He was not a former boyfriend but somebody Miss Makola "had contact with about five years ago", Chief Insp Tague said. Officers have not been able to establish his nationality but said he used several different names, which they declined to disclose."(END OF EXCERPT) Read the entire article here: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/lawandorder/3983526/Nurse-Magdeline-Makola-left-in-car-boot-for-up-to-10-days.html
