The US paranormal justice expert weighed in on the verdict delivered to the Saldanha Bay youngster’s mother on Friday, 5 May 2025.
Kelly Smith, Jacquin Appollis, and Steven van Rhyn were found guilty of kidnapping and human trafficking in the Western Cape High Court. They were arrested following the disappearance of Joslin, but claimed that she went to play with friends and never returned.
Starr speaks to Joslin’s spirit
Following the verdict, Starr attempted to contact the little girl, whom she believes has passed on, using a spirit box.
In a video shared by the medium, a voice, purportedly that of Joslin, claims that she (Kelly) didn’t tell (the court) why.
The voice also claimed that she died at home and that her body was dumped in a sewer or landfill. The voice also claimed that Boeta did it and that Kelly allowed men to abuse the little girl.

Previously, Starr shared a video in which the voice, claiming to be Joslin, said that she was killed by Boeta and was dumped. The voice also said that she wasn't sold, as was originally claimed in the early stages of the trial. Starr has taken a keen interest in the case and even expressed frustration over the verdict.
“I’m not happy about the verdict of the trial. I feel like they got off easy with this fabricated story,” she said.
