Girl, Taken


The true story of Celeste and Morne Nurse, whose baby daughter Zephany was stolen from hospital three days after her birth in Cape Town, 1997. For 17 years, the devastated couple searched for Zephany. Then in 2015, their second daughter, Cassidy, enrolled in a new school, where other pupils pointed out an older pupil, Miche Solomon, who looked much like her. DNA samples confirmed that Miche was Zephany, and, incredibly, she had grown up only a few miles from the Nurse's home. The Nurses were overjoyed; however, the arrest and trial of the seamstress whom Miche knew as her loving mother devastated her.
