Have a missed the part where they spoke with the friends she was last seen playing with? Did they see anything? Did Joshlin decide to go visit someone else? Why did the search move to the coastline? Have they found more new information? There doesnt appear to be much out there and that's very concerning.

''Detectives interrogate suspects for 36 hours​

Tuesday’s breakthrough followed the arrival of the detectives from the Serious Violent Crimes Unit, as well as members of the Western Cape police’s kidnappings task force in Middelpos on Sunday.

The detectives took control of the investigation and apparently interrogated the two suspects, as well as another man, non-stop for about 36 hours.

Pointing-out, confessions and court​

Throughout Monday evening and Tuesday afternoon, the two men allegedly underwent the pointing-out procedure and discussed their role in the girl’s disappearance.

It remains unclear whether Joslin was still alive when last seen by the suspects.

According to eNCA, the men will appear in court on Thursday, 7 March.''
