A decade ago, the world was captivated by the mysterious disappearance of a mother and her sons during a safari adventure. The search efforts yielded no clues, and the case remained an unsolved enigma. However, the quiet town was shaken to its core when, out of the blue, the now 14-year-old son emerged at his grandparents' doorstep, his sudden return raising more questions than answers.
Sonja and her sons Jeremy and Terry had been on one of their bucket list vacations to South Africa. They had only been there for a week, but they both already loved every second of it. They went on various safaris and visited a nature park not far from their accommodation. They still had two more weeks of traveling to do, but they knew nothing could break their holiday spirit.
It was one of the things that made this case so compelling. From the outside, it looked like the two of them were having the time of their lives. A young, single mother with her son on vacation, full of laughter and completely forgetting about their normal lives back home. But what was really going on behind closed doors, nobody knew.
One morning, they went on a safari tour with a ranger. They were in a group of about sixteen people and drove around the huge nature reserve close to their accommodation. It was during their first stop that they suddenly disappeared. No one knew or saw where Sonja and Jeremy had gone, and no one had heard from them ever since.
