Washed away teen still unfound, a week later
CAPE TOWN - The family of a teenager in Cape Town says they've made peace with his death but they only want access to his remains so that they can bury him.
Leslie Willemse and 48-year-old Eric McClune were washed away by a powerful torrent as they tried to cross a flooded low-level bridge in Mikpunt, near Klipheuwel over a week ago.
