The father of a baby snatched 18 years ago from a hospital in Cape Town, South Africa revealed he hasn’t spoken to his daughter in five months.

Zephany Nurse was only three days old when a woman who was dressed as a nurse snatched her, while her mother, Celeste Nurse, was sleeping in the next bed recovering from a C-section.

No one knew what happened to the girl—until last year when things took a dramatic turn. 

Zephany made a new friend at high school—unbeknownst to her, it was her biological sister, Cassidy. Their classmates continuously pointed out their striking resemblance. Cassidy then told her father, Morné Nurse, and shortly after, the trio went to Mcdonalds to eat burgers.

It's gone from a happy ever after fairytale to an absolute nightmare.
