On May 20th, 1999, Betty vanished after her evening shift. Police barely investigated.Her family searched desperately, but for thirteen years, Betty's disappearance remained an agonizing mystery.
The breakthrough came unexpectedly in 2012 when neighbors renovating a Johannesburg home discovered a hidden confession letter beneath carpet tiles.

Betty's story reminds us that justice can arrive from unexpected places, even from beneath dusty carpet tiles when we least expect it.
