But the context of the young girl’s disappearance remains to be elucidated. “Personally, I don’t believe it was a prowler’s crime,” says Catherine, a resident of a village near Plaine. “We are in a very remote area and the road taken by Lina is only used by local residents. How can you imagine that someone who doesn’t know the area could kidnap this poor kid here in broad daylight?” However, according to Le Parisien, this is “the most likely theory” for investigators: “The latter would have offered to drive her or forced her into his car before killing her in circumstances that remain to be clarified.”
Lina’s disappearance: searches to find the teenager have resumed
A press release published this Tuesday afternoon by the Strasbourg prosecutor’s office indicated that: “The significant resources deployed alongside the gendarmerie investigators have not yet made it possible to find any trace of Lina.” However, searches will resume this Wednesday morning on the borders of Vosges and Bas-Rhin, in particular in places traveled by the stolen car. “At least twenty men will be mobilized, as well as dogs specialized in detecting bodies from the Gramat platoon,” reports Le Parisien.
