The Strasbourg Public Prosecutor’s Office expects that the investigation into the disappearance of Lina (15 years old) will take a “long time” | outside

The search for 15-year-old Lena has been going on for nine days. The girl disappeared on September 23 while on her way to her boyfriend. Lena left her mother’s house in the village of Blaine at around 11 am.

The teenager had to walk three kilometers through a forested area in the Brochet Valley to reach the Saint-Blaise-La Roche station. There she usually took the train to Strasbourg, where she arranged to meet her boyfriend. But Lena never reached her destination. According to investigators, she never boarded the train.

The Strasbourg prosecutor’s office said in a statement that it was preparing to conduct a “long-term investigation” into Lina’s disappearance. “At this stage no complaints have been filed against anyone. There are no methods excluded or prioritized at the moment,” said lawyer Yolande Renzi.

Last Sunday, the Public Prosecution opened a judicial investigation into the case of kidnapping or deprivation of liberty, indicating that the criminal path may be the most likely.

On Sunday, the French channel M6 broadcast a shocking testimony. A man claimed he saw Lena driving past his house “in a blue car” on the day she disappeared. According to the witness, sitting next to the teenage girl was an unknown man who “did not appear concerned” and “did not raise any alarm.” Last week, a 14-year-old girl who lives in the same village as Lina reported that an unknown man approached her twice a few weeks ago.

Although the police take the two testimonies seriously, they have not led to any further leads at this time.
