Welcome to the Episode 30 of Murder & Mayhem: South African True Crime. About the episode: A case from 2010 that never quite got the attention it deserved and a girl whose life was cut short before it even began. Even with the countless twists and turns- 13 years on- it seems today that justice will never be served. There are so many questions that are still up in the air. Was there something that was missed by accident or on purpose?  Has the killer been hiding in plain sight this entire time?   This is the bizarre and tragic story of Anika Smit.   For images, sources and real footage of the individuals and the case mentioned, please visit my Youtube Channel- Bella Monsoon where this case has been covered in video format HERE.   SHOP the Self-Defense Range: https://bellamonsoon.com/product-category/self-defense/ Mental Health Resources: If you are feeling triggered by any of the content within this podcast please reach out and speak to someone.
