Missing French teen: Lina, 15, declared missing as her parents launch a call for witnesses

Her whole family is very worried. Lina, aged 15, has been missing since Saturday September 23, 2023. After leaving her home in Plaine, in the Bruche valley, at around 11:15 a.m., the teenager was supposed to walk three kilometers to the Saint-Blaise-la-Roche train station. She was then supposed to catch a train to Strasbourg to meet up with her long-time boyfriend. But she never arrived at her destination. It was her boyfriend who alerted the police.

Missing for three days

On the day the young woman disappeared, a major search operation was deployed late into the night, involving helicopters, a search party and dog teams, BFMTV has learned. The unsuccessful search resumed on Monday with a thorough sweep of the area. The Gendarmerie in Shirmeck, Bas-Rhin, has launched an appeal for witnesses. Lina has medium-length blond hair and is 1.60 metres tall. On the day she disappeared, the teenager was wearing a grey dress, a white down jacket and white converse.

The Saverne public prosecutor's office has opened an investigation into the disappearance of the girl, which has been entrusted to the Strasbourg research unit. According to initial information, the 15-year-old girl had never boarded the train, the public prosecutor's office said in a statement on Monday. She had no family problems, had 'never run away or attempted suicide' and 'got on well with her boyfriend', according to the gendarmerie.
