“He went out with his two friends that night and on their way back their car ran out of petrol. Van Rooyen went to look for help towards Cornubia. The two friends went toward Gateway to try and get some petrol from the garage. When the two returned to the vehicle, the missing person had not returned back to the vehicle. They filled the petrol and started looking for him but couldn’t find him anywhere and that was the last time they saw him,” he said.
