Worrying disappearance of Teresa in Hérault: the mother's car found near her body

Teresa, a 43-year-old mother, was found dead on Saturday afternoon in Brenas, near Bédarieux, in Hérault. Missing since December 2after dropping off her two youngest children at the Adissan nursery and nursery school, her body was discovered by a hiker, hanging from a tree branch, about 500 meters from the exit of the hamlet of Le Mas Bas, reported Free Midday.

An autopsy soon

The autopsy, which will be carried out soon, could make it possible to determine the exact time of deathwhich promises to be difficult due to external conditions and the winter season, specifies Raphaël Balland, the Public Prosecutor of Béziers in France Bleu Hérault. These elements could enlighten investigators and help to better understand the circumstances of his death.

The body was discovered near Teresa's car (a Gray Citroën C3), parked not far from the scene of the tragedy, according to information from France Bleu Hérault. She was searched for a long time, notably with the help of a gendarmerie helicopter.

A hiker, also a hunter, claims to have seen the car a few days after the disappearance, without making any connection with the case. He decided to explore the surrounding area after finding the vehicle in the same location a fortnight later, which led him to discover Teresa's lifeless body.

Investigators also found video surveillance images in Clermont-l'Hérault, Teresa's hometown, where her car was spotted on the day of her disappearance, en route to Lake Salagou. The identity of the driver in the videos has not been confirmed, but the woman is wearing clothing similar to Teresa's.

Suicide ?

For the moment, the public prosecutor of Béziers, Raphaël Balland, favors the theory of suicide. All other avenues were explored, and Teresa's husband's schedule was scrutinized.

The latter confirmed that he had not seen his wife since the morning of her disappearance, before continuing his professional activities. Teresa didn't leave any letters behind. His cell phone and papers remained at his home.
