On Monday 28 August 2000, Leslie was scheduled for a flight to George to lead a product-focused seminar at the Liberty branch.

As it was the norm, Leslie arrived in George and checked in for a night’s stay at the Protea Hotel situated at King George Park.

The hotel was only a 10-minute drive from the airport and after her training, which was scheduled for Tuesday, the 28-year-old would proceed to catch a flight back to Cape Town.

Hotel records indicate that Leslie checked in at the hotel that day and was allocated Room 205, an outside suite that offered the Liberty Life representative a sense of privacy.

Nobody knows if Leslie left her room at any point after she had checked in.

The last time Christine had heard from Leslie that fateful evening was at approximately 20:00.
