Photo of US sisters used to falsely claim they went missing in South Africa
In June 2024, two young sisters went missing in the United States, leading to a manhunt spanning two states. A few weeks later, a picture of the girls was posted online alongside claims the pair were missing in the South African city of Cape Town.

The older sibling survived the ordeal.
