Significant resources remained mobilized yesterday to find Agathe Hilairet, who has been missing since Thursday morning in Vivonne when she left to run. The emotion is lively in the town.
“We would never have imagined that our small town would be at the heart of the news …” Like his citizens, the mayor of Vivonne Rose-Marie Bertaud has been in shock since last Thursday and the disappearance of Agathe Hilairet. The 28 -year -old young woman left her parents’ home in the middle of the morning to run. She was not found yesterday noon, despite significant means of research deployed – just to 200 ricm gendarmes and soldiers, still 90 on Monday – and an unprecedented momentum. The licensees of the Vivonne Loisirs club, residents or even volunteers from the Civil Protection of Vienne participated in the sweeping of large expanses where Agathe Hilairet has its habits, on foot, by bicycle and in quad.
Unusual ballet
On Sunday, several detectors (of metals) also made their contribution to try to find the phone of the missing. “We are only simple volunteers with equipment not as sophisticated as that of the gendarmerie, but it is important for us to be there. We are at the entire provision of the order services which will give us a specific area to be raked ”explains one of them. To the shock of the disappearance is added the unusual ballet of the national media and investigators -the research brigade and the research section of Poitiers -which established their crisis unit in the multipurpose room. “We have seen dozens of gendarmerie vehicles since Thursday, divers, dronist teams, and even a helicopter”says a resident whose house overlooks Vounant’s park.
“new auditions”
According to the latest elements transmitted by the Poitiers prosecutor’s office, which coordinates the investigation open for disturbing disappearance, research focused on a 3km2 perimeter on Sunday between Vivonne and Voulon, in a wooded sector difficult to access. The young woman’s mobile phone was located Thursday afternoon for the last time. After the Clain, new polls were also carried out, this time in a pond, by divers of the Arcachon nautical brigade. In parallel, the public prosecutor said on Sunday that “New hearings of witnesses were underway, especially on the sentimental, family and friendly environment of Agathe Hilairet”. According to our colleagues by Poitou, 90 reports have reached the authorities.
