South Africans are holding on to hope that missing Saldanha Bay child Joslin Smith is still alive. However, a medium with an interest in paranormal justice believes the young girl has long since passed.
Tuesday, 19 February, marks a year since the blonde-haired, green-eyed girl disappeared from her home in the Middelpos informal settlement in the Diazville community.
The little girl’s mother, Kelly Smith, her boyfriend, Jacquin “Boeta” Appollis, and a male friend have since been charged with her kidnapping and child trafficking.
They are accused of selling Joslin to allegedly buy drugs.
JOSLIN SMITH: MEDIUM SAYS SHE IS NOT ALIVE
Speaking to The South African, US medium or psychic Kandis Starr shared her beliefs of what happened to Joslin Smith.
She said: “I do not believe she’s alive. I believe she was dead before they reported her missing.”
Kandis’s comments come after several supernatural sessions where she claims to have communicated with the “spirit” of Joslin. In her last – done in August 2024 – Kandis shared clues about what she believes happened to the little girl.
In a spirit box session, Kandis communicated with her “guides” to connect with “Joslin.”

During the session, the voice of a young girl – Kandis believes is Joslin – claimed that she had been abused and possibly used for witchcraft.
On the evening of 19 February, Joslin Smith’s mother, Kelly, reported her missing. She told police that her eldest daughter had been left in the care of her boyfriend during the day.
However, authorities believe that Kelly and two others have sold the little girl to allegedly fuel their drug habit. The trio will return to the Western Cape High Court on 28 February.
Meanwhile, Diazville residents will participate in a special memorial walk for Joslin Smith on the first anniversary of her disappearance.
The event is being organised by the political party, the Patriotic Alliance. It will begin on Thursday, 19 February, at 10:00 outside the Middelpos family home in Saldanha Bay.
“Still physically missing but not from our hearts and minds,” a member of the party posted on Facebook.
