A woman reported missing in Cape Town at the beginning of the week has been found safe, police confirmed on Wednesday afternoon.
Julie Goodness, an American who has lived in the city for several years and enjoys trail-running and hiking, was reported missing on Monday after failing to return from a walk. She was last seen heading towards Table Mountain.
The circumstances surrounding her two-day absence are unclear.
“Julie Goodness has been found safe and reunited with family and friends earlier today,” police said in a brief statement.
