Carolyne Odour has expressed her deep fears regarding the fate of her sons, who went missing two months ago alongside their father, a follower of a notorious starvation cult leader. Despite confirming her husband's identity at a mortuary, she continues to anxiously await DNA test results on over 30 bodies recently unearthed, all linked to a cult that has become infamous for mass deaths in the Shakahola Forest. Odour's journey has been marked by despair as she seeks answers in the midst of an unfolding tragedy that has shocked the nation.

Describing her heartbreaking experience, Odour detailed how she barely recognized her husband's decomposing body, found in July in Kwa Binzaro, near the site of numerous cult-related deaths. This cult, led by self-proclaimed pastor Paul Mackenzie, has prompted fears for her children’s safety after they left home with their father under troubling circumstances.

The cult's teachings had deeply influenced her husband, leading to a rift in their family regarding education and medical care for their children. The last communication Odour had with her husband left her troubled when he took their two boys on an unexpected trip to the coastal area, departing far from his original home. When she couldn't reach him, she began to trace their path, ultimately uncovering that he had traveled over 900 kilometers with her children to the heart of the cult’s activities.

As the investigation into the cult's operations continues, with exhumations revealing countless bodies, Odour remains tormented by uncertainty regarding her sons' whereabouts. Local officials are advocating for stricter laws against religious extremism to prevent any further occurrence of such tragedies. Each day, she carries the weight of her fears, hoping for a miracle as she continues to grapple with the reality of her family's plight.
