Missing French teen: According to her town's mayor, Lina, 15, got into a car 'willingly, or by force'

The hours tick by and 15-year-old Lina is still nowhere to be found. After another day of searching and digging in ponds, there was no trace of the teenager.

Kidnapping?

At around 11:15 a.m. on Saturday, 15-year-old Lina walked to her town's train station to join her boyfriend, Tao, in Strasbourg. Unfortunately, after several unanswered messages and calls, Tao informed the teenager's mother. When the train pulled into the station, Lina was nowhere to be seen. Following initial discoveries, the investigators know for certain that the teenager never boarded the train bound for Strasbourg.

Surveillance cameras at the nearby pond also showed no trace of Lina. The young girl therefore disappeared between her home and the entrance to the cycle path along the main road. For Patricia Simoni, the town's mayor, there is no doubt that Lina was abducted. She spoked to Le Point:

She could only have been taken away by a car, willingly or by force.

Lina is nowhere to be found

On Tuesday September 26, on the set of French show Touche pas à mon poste, her colleague Zoé had also said that she thought her friend had met someone ill-intentioned on her way:

I think it was an ill-intentioned person who met her path! I still hope to find her. Everyone is devastated.

Unfortunately, the search on Wednesday September 27 came to nothing. However, two witnesses confirmed that they had seen the young girl a few minutes before the tragedy. But what happened to Lina? The mystery remains unsolved. A new search will take place this Thursday.
