The body of missing Travis Stevens (38), from Rooihuiskraal in Tshwane, was found on Tuesday.

Stevens was reported missing on March 13, after he disappeared from his home.

A community-wide search was conducted.

Tshwane SAPS spokesperson Warrant Officer Johan Van Dyk confirmed that police found a body in a secluded area.

The Pink Ladies organisation for missing persons confirmed that it was Stevens’ body.

Stevens leaves behind his partner of 12 years, Catherine Bester, and his three children.
