There has been no trace of the missing student from Brandenburg for several weeks.
He lost track of him on a hiking trail near Cape Town.
Apparently there should be a new witness.
Hout Bay/Kassel – 22-year-old Nick from Germany has been missing in Cape Town since February 15, 2022.
The vacationer apparently wanted to walk alone along a hiking route on the Karbonkelberg in the Cape Town suburb of Hout Bay.
Five suspects who had Nick's valuables with them have now been arrested.
However, there is still no trace of the missing young man.
A security guard is said to be the last person Nick saw.
Additionally, an app might have recorded his last steps.

His trace is lost from the hiking trail.
During a raid, investigators were able to find Nick's valuables.

German user uses app on hiking route: police do not want to comment
In addition, according to the image information, an app could show Nick's last steps.
An unknown German user is said to have opened a hiking app in the hiking area on the day Nick disappeared.

Whether this is Nick is uncertain.
Another German user could have been on the hiking trail at the same time.
