UPDATE ON THE SITUATION – Several searches bringing together hundreds of people as well as the probing of two ponds have so far failed to elucidate the disappearance since Saturday of this 15-year-old girl.
Eighty gendarmes were mobilized this Thursday to carry out two new search operations in the area where Lina, a 15-year-old girl, has disappeared since Saturday. A worrying disappearance for which “all avenues continue to be explored» by investigators.
A team of divers from Strasbourg surveyed two ponds on Wednesday afternoon, while the young girl has not been seen since she went late Saturday morning to the Saint-Blaise-la-Roche station. in Bas-Rhin, taking a route of approximately three kilometers on foot from his home in this wooded and forested area at the foot of the Vosges massif.
No convincing clues discovered during the new searches
New searches mobilized 80 gendarmes on Thursday in Saint-Blaise-la-Roche (Bas-Rhin) and in the neighboring village of Saulxure but did not uncover any conclusive clues as part of the investigation into the disappearance. of Lina. The search began around 9:30 a.m. and ended shortly before 4:00 p.m. in this wooded and rugged area at the foot of the Vosges massif. The gendarmes deployed in a line, advancing slowly in several fields in search of possible clues. But “no traces or clues have been discovered today”declared Commander Antoine Jouclas, of the Molsheim gendarmerie company at the end of the operations.
The surroundings of Saint-Blaise-la-Roche had already been combed, notably by a first hunt on Monday, which brought together 130 people, and by a second, larger hunt on Tuesday, in which 380 volunteers participated, accompanied by a dog team of civil security and a helicopter equipped with thermal cameras.

Two ponds scrutinized
On Wednesday, two ponds located near the area where the young girl disappeared were also probed, without success. The divers methodically surveyed the two Breux ponds, along which a cycle path passes that Lina should have taken on Saturday. A path that the young girl had traveled every day last week to go to the convenience store where she was on an internship, in the town of Saint-Blaise-la-Roche.
Under the eyes of a few relatives and numerous journalists, the divers, divided into small groups, explored the area until around 6:30 p.m. Ten personnel, including seven divers, participated in the research, according to the Saverne prosecutor’s office. According to the manager of the fishing pond, who did not wish to give his name, three fishermen were on site from 6:00 a.m. Saturday morning, and they did not see the young girl pass by, unlike the day before.

“Close to his mother”
The teenager disappeared late Saturday morning. Two witnesses saw her walking on the road between her home and the village, between 11:15 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. Her phone, which was not found, stopped working at 11:22 a.m., Aline Clérot said during a press conference on Tuesday. “No banking activity on his account has been noted since the disappearance of the young girl”added the magistrate.
The hypothesis of a runaway was quickly ruled out: “She was a very kind young girl, very happy, smiling, always up for good things.”declared Thibault, one of his friends, on Tuesday. “She was respectful, very close to her mother, she was always careful not to disappoint her. I don’t believe for a single second that she would have run away.” According to him, the teenager, an only child, entered CAP personal assistance this year in an establishment near Saint-Blaise-la-Roche, about sixty kilometers southwest of Strasbourg. Her parents are separated, her mother is a nurse and Lina apparently no longer has much of a relationship with her father.
