ABOUT THE BOOK

When a couple delivered their first child on the 3rd of May 1994, they could have no idea that within hours a nightmare would begin that would last 22 months. A woman had stolen their baby and then seemingly disappeared into thin air.

In the 1990s, the Hunter family's pain, anger and acute sense of loss moved and gripped the nation over a two-year period.

On May 4 in 1994, Combrinck walked into the Marymount maternity home in Johannesburg, and posing as a Red Cross worker, told Micaela's mother, Alison Hunter, that she needed a baby for a bath demonstration for unmarried mothers. Micaela was just 19 hours old. Her parents, Alison and Bruce, were devastated.

A reward of R20 000 was offered for any information leading to the arrest or conviction of Micaela's abductor. But weeks went by, then months, with investigating teams working around the clock. All clues, leads and suspects connected to the abduction were investigated.

Then a miracle happened. In February 1996, almost two years later, Micaela was returned to her parents. The toddler, however, had been renamed by Combrinck, her "mother", as Shannon Alison.

Micaela was discovered when a man, who believed he was her father, walked into a police station in Benoni with the child and told his story. He was later identified as Combrinck's boyfriend, Charles McDonald.

Sonja Combrinck, was jailed in November 1996 for 12 years, she was freed on parole after serving eight years of her sentence at the Kroonstad women's prison.
