WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

[This is an unsolved mystery that has fascinated South Africans for more than 20 years. Jan]
Police never officially stopped their investigations into the six missing girls who were allegedly kidnapped and probably killed by paedophile Gert van Rooyen – so no new docket needs to be opened.
This follows a special report on M-Net’s Carte Blanche on Sunday in which the show’s investigative team claimed they may have found the site in Pretoria where the girls’ bodies were allegedly dumped 18 years ago.
All police were willing to say on Monday was: “We are investigating.”
The Carte Blanche team believe the bodies are located just two-kilometres away from Van Rooyen’s demolished Capital Park home.

Police Gauteng provincial head of communications Director Govindsamy Mariemuthoo said they had taken note of the programme.
“We welcome any information and will follow it up if it leads to the conclusion of this case. We are investigating,” he said.
He would not say if Carte Blanche had handed over its forensic results.
According to the programme, former police officer/scientist Danie Krugel pinpointed the site by using hair samples of two of the missing girls and a quantum physics machine.
Carte Blanche then contracted a pathologist and archaeologists from the University of Pretoria to dig up the area in search of remains.

Fragments they found were sent for DNA testing. The results suggested the bones could be those of four males and two females.
Professor Maryna Steyn of the Tuks department of anatomy on Monday told the Pretoria News they did not search the whole area, but only the areas pointed out to them.
“We found several bone fragments, some very small. We found nothing that was at that stage identifiable as human remains. Nor could we estimate how old these fragments were,” she said.
According to her, one could establish age, race and sex from a complete skeleton, but not from a few pieces. A skeleton can be preserved in the earth for a very long time, depending on circumstances such as heat, water or fire.
Some archaeological finds have unearthed skeletons 1 000 years old.
She said the degree of fragmentation depended not only on environmental factors but also the condition of the body before it was buried.
“From a personal point of view I hope that if they investigate this site further, they will appoint experts who will work very carefully, if they hope to find something useful,” she said.
According to police sources, the police officer who has been investigating the Van Rooyen case since the beginning has not yet been contacted with regard to further investigations.
Police have been pointed to the supposed burial site of the missing girls before. Most notably, Van Rooyen’s son Flippie claimed to know where the girls were buried but nothing was ever found. However, the Carte Blanche discovery could prove more fruitful.
“What is worrying is the allegation that the remains of six people were found there. At least this has to be investigated,” one police officer said.
Tracey-Lee Scott-Crossley, 13, Fiona Harvey, 11, Joan Horn, 13, Anne-Marie Wapenaar, 12, Odette Boucher, 12, and Yolanda Wessels, 12, disappeared between August 1 1988 and November 2 the next year.
