15-year-old Lina from Alsace has been missing since September 23rd.
The police have now taken three suspects into custody, media reports.
Update from March 26th, 5:47 p.m
.: Is there finally a lead in the missing Lina case?
On Tuesday morning, three people were taken into custody by police in Alsace, France.
For the first time since the investigation began, after six months.
According to French media, a couple and a man are to be questioned again about their statements.
According to Le Parisien,
possible contradictory information could
be the reason for this.
However, the identity of the suspects is initially unclear.
The portal
lenouveaudetective.com
claims to have found out that it was Lina's ex-boyfriend.
However, the relationship between the two was probably nothing serious.
A well was also examined by a diver on Tuesday (March 26) - without results, reports
Les Dernières Nouvelles d'Alscace.
According to RTL
information, seven police divers were on duty at another fishing pond
on Monday (March 25).
A training operation was moved to this location near Lina's disappearance.
But nothing came of it here either.
In January, investigators launched a call for witnesses to parents of students at Lina's former school and other schools in the area.
Information was requested about a man in his 20s who was said to be driving a dark Clio.
It remains unclear whether there is a connection to the new ongoing developments.
The 15-year-old disappeared on September 23, 2023 while walking to the Saint-Blaise-la-Roche (Bas-Rhin) train station in Alsace.
Lina wanted to go to Strasbourg to visit a friend.
But she didn't get on the train.
Lina was last seen by witnesses walking along the RD350 road.

Almost six months ago, Lina disappeared on a three-kilometer walk to the train station in Saint-Blaise-la-Roche.
The teenager wanted to go to Strasbourg to see her boyfriend, but didn't get there.
Two witnesses saw the 15-year-old on the way to the train station.
But the investigators know that she didn't even get on the train.
Search efforts have so far been unsuccessful.
A witness said he had seen the young person as a passenger in a dark small car, which is why the owners of such cars in the region were targeted by investigators.
Arrests have now been made in the case for the first time.
According to reports, the investigators are concerned with checking all possible scenarios, so the arrests do not necessarily mean a breakthrough.
