On 19 September 1996 a 43 year old businessman disappeared without a trace. He was sent to collect money for his brother and was not seen since. Police were of no help to the family, suggesting that he may have ran off with the money and another woman. But his family refused to believe the police's story. For eight years his daughter struggled to find out what exactly happened to her father. In 2004 she raised enough money and hired a private investigator. Within 4 days Botha discovered what police were unable to for 8 years - the remains of Alec Steenkamp, buried in a shallow grave in the back yard of a house in Brixton.
