Woman Vanishes: Body Parts Hunted for Witchcraft?
28 Sep
Summary
- Lorna McSorley vanished on a solo walk in South Africa.
- Her family suspects she was abducted for ritualistic body harvesting.
- An investigation found abduction and ritual killing pattern likely.
Lorna McSorley, a 71-year-old tourist from Devon, disappeared a year ago while on a solo walk in South Africa. She vanished five days into a package holiday after setting off from the Ghost Mountain Inn. Her family is now demanding that her disappearance be investigated as a murder, suspecting she was abducted.
An investigation by The Times, utilizing device location data, found patterns consistent with abduction and ritual killing. This theory aligns with suspicions of muti murders, a practice where traditional medicine is made using human body parts for supposed enhanced potency. McSorley's brother expressed distress over the family's prolonged uncertainty.
A search involving police, rangers, and aircraft yielded no clues, with no clothing, belongings, or remains ever being found. The lack of evidence has left the investigation in a state of inquiry, with police stating there's no tangible evidence to reclassify the case as murder. The incident occurs amid other mysterious disappearances and a recent death with severed hands in the region.
