New technology finds missing persons
The developers of a new system says their technology can track missing people anywhere in the country, and beyond, by using a strand of hair. The equipment and system used is being kept top secret in Bloemfontein, but parents of children that were found say it really works.
The inventors say they only need DNA to find a missing person. The sample, technology and an advanced satellite system is enough to ensure a successful search.
Pierre Honiball, whose missing 14 year old son was found after 2 days, says the system works. “Undoubtedly there is a way to find somebody with whatever he uses and I can tell you this is the truth he found Andre within 25 minutes.” Jos Chadinha's frantic search for his missing daughter ended 90 minutes after providing strands of her hair. “He found her ... and he found her simply using the instruments.”
The method is still under wraps. Danie Krugel, a spokesman, says more needs to be done before the system is made public: “We are still in the experimental phase, the final stages of the experimental phase; we are not ready now to put equipment into the market place, but it came so quickly, the successes, that it caught us off guard.”
Experts are skeptical, but it's too early to prove or disprove. The group is in the process of setting up a web page and a call centre to provide more information on their product.
