Unveiled: Lina's cruel fate - investigators find body in the forest!

Nevers, Frankreich - Strasbourg (dpa) - The shocking developments in the case of the missing Lina from Alsace have put the region into turmoil. A year after her disappearance, the body of the 15-year-old was found hundreds of kilometers away in a forest near Nevers in central France. According to prosecutor Alexandre Chevrier, Lina was discovered in a watercourse below an embankment. Their remains were clearly identified by a DNA analysis.

The investigation show that on the day of her disappearance, Lina met a man who finally took her life. He had taken his life later after the police had secured his stolen car. Through the location data of the vehicle, the investigators managed to understand the movements of the suspect, which led him to the place when their body was finally found.

discovery of the stolen car

The crime of the crime took a dramatic turn when the investigators secured a car stolen in Baden-Württemberg that had been used at the time of the crime. In this vehicle, the investigators found stressful evidence: DNA traces of Lina as well as her handbag and rope, which apparently served to captivate the girl. The police focused on forest areas in which the suspect had lodged long stops.

In the new search in remote forests, the investigators were finally able to discover Lina's body, which underlines the dark development of the case. The spectacular criminal case had attracted great attention not only in the border region, but also beyond. Lina had disappeared on September 23 of last year on the way to the Saint-Blaise-la-Roche train station, from where she wanted to travel to Strasbourg. A witness had testified to have seen her as a passenger in a car, which led to an intensive search for appropriate vehicle owners in the area.

the suspect and the investigation

The suspect, a 43-year-old who was traveling with the stolen car while fleeing, committed suicide after the vehicle was secured on July 10. On July 22, he should have been responsible for several violent robberies. According to reports, he had been in psychiatric treatment several times in the past. Unfortunately, the police could no longer ask the police, which made it more difficult to clarify the case.

This tragic event does not leave the people in the region cold. The background and the circumstances that led to Lina's death trigger questions and dismay. Even if the investigation has provided some answers, the loss of a young life remains a difficult blow for everyone who knew the girl.
