The resident who called the police believing to have seen the missing Nikita Bekker (14), in Primrose, has contacted the Germiston City News.
He told the GCN his 17-year-old daughter said she had seen the girl and that they had called 10111 to report the matter.
The Primrose SAPS responded and this led to them picking up Anika Doussy (GCN, February 20).
Doussy was taken to the resident’s home and the man told the GCN he thought she looked like the missing girl.
“Having had a sister go missing many years ago, I was only doing this for her own good,” he said.
“She was in the back of the van and I apologised to her, saying: ‘If you are the girl I am concerned about you’.
“I was only looking after the missing girl’s best interests.”
He also claimed that while the police were at his house with Doussy they were not abusive towards her.
The next day, the man added, Doussy and a male companion returned to his house and threatened him, telling him that they were going to sue him for the R200 income Doussy had lost.
“I believe I did the right thing by contacting the police and, to me, she looked like the missing girl,” he said.
