0 trace of the teenager

On Saturday September 23, Lina was walking to her local train station to spend the day in Strasbourg with her boyfriend, Tao. It was Tao who alerted the teenager's family, worried because he hadn't heard from her since 11:20 am. When the train arrived at Strasbourg station and the girl didn't get off, his doubts were confirmed.

Since then, several hunts have been organized and ponds searched, but no trace of Lina. With two witnesses claiming to have seen the teenager a few minutes before the tragedy, theories are beginning to abound. The town's mayor, for example, is convinced that Lina got into a car 'by force or by choice'.

Suspicious messages

While investigators are looking for clues to prove that Lina did indeed meet the wrong person along the way, a friend of Lina's revealed at a hearing that she felt the girl wasn't responding as usual to her latest messages. A journalist sent to the scene told RTL:

The last text messages she sent did not correspond to those sent by the young teenager. The replies were short and written, whereas she often sent audio messages. Messages with punctuation, which Lina never used.

Suspicions are also beginning to be aroused on the part of her boyfriend, Tao, who claims to have lost his cell phone in the sewer while searching for Lina. On social networks, Internet users were quick to express their doubts about the young man. He has since defended himself.
