In a small town in Alsace, a 15-year-old girl disappears without a trace. Almost 400 volunteers are now searching for the missing person.
Saint-Blaise-la-Roche – There was a lot of attention in the French media on Tuesday (26 September) for the search for a 15-year-old. The teenager Lina had already disappeared on Saturday on a three-kilometer footpath.

Under the guidance of the police and forestry officers, the search operation took place. It is suspected that the 15-year-old was traveling in the direction of the train station of Saint-Blaise-la-Roche, but never arrived there. Her boyfriend, with whom she had arranged to meet in Strasbourg, called the police when she did not arrive there as agreed. At first, it was unclear where the teenager had disappeared, but later the police found out that she never boarded the train.

The police searched for the missing woman with a helicopter, dogs and drones. The search led through wooded areas along a district road and a cycle path, which the 15-year-old must have passed through on her way to the train station. Nearly 400 volunteers who assisted the police in their search were instructed to scour the site at a distance of two meters from each other for items of clothing, a handbag, a mobile phone or traces of blood.
