Several hundred naval officers, dog patrols, search crews and drones are desperately searching for six-year-old Joslin Smith, who disappeared on February 19 this year.
On Wednesday this week, the police confirmed that four people have been brought in for questioning in connection with the disappearance case.
The little girl disappeared over two weeks ago in Saldanha Bay, near the South African city of Cape Town, writes BBC.
Found killed in own garden
Found bloody clothes
The mother’s boyfriend is said to have been looking after the little girl when she disappeared near their home. He has explained to the police that he does not know where the girl was when she disappeared, and refuses to have anything to do with the case.
Spokesperson for the local police, Novela Potelwa, says they hope to uncover exactly where the girl was before she disappeared, and what happened to her.
On Saturday, investigators are said to have found bloody clothes on a field in the area where the girl is said to have disappeared. However, it has not been confirmed whether it has any connection to the six-year-old.
According to the BBC, a child disappears in South Africa every five hours, but the vast majority turn up again.

The disappearance of the little girl has now angered the local population, who are now searching sewers and raiding homes in the neighborhood in search of the girl. That is according to the mayor of the girl’s hometown, André Truter.

It is unknown whether the four people questioned have a connection to the girl, but the police state that two men and two women have been questioned.
In front of The Daily Voice, Joselin’s mother tells that she has not lost hope of finding the girl in her life.
– My motherly instincts tell me that my daughter is still alive and in this area. We will find her, I will go on foot to find her. I want to search every little cabin, and I want to do it alone if I have to, the mother is said to have stated.
