He says they haven't been able to get hold of her since. "We've investigated the hospital and the mortuaries and I'm actually busy looking at old age homes so right now we don't know where she is and I don't know to be honest it is very traumatic for my wife, myself and my two kids as well,  not knowing she is is more traumatizing," he said. 


"We don't know if she is safe, does she have food, where she's sleeping. I ask everybody's just keep it in your prayers and God will show us a way."
