More than two months after the discovery of Lina’s body, the Strasbourg public prosecutor will hold a press conference this Friday, December 20, 2024.
If the discovery of young Lina’s body in Nièvre last October put an end to some of the mystery, gray areas still hover over this affair. The main suspect in this case, Samuel G., killed himself shortly before the summer, taking with him a large number of answers.
A press conference this Friday
What could shed light on the remaining questions are the conclusions of the forensic expertise carried out after the discovery of the teenager’s body. “Alexandre Chevrier, interim public prosecutor at the prosecution of the Strasbourg judicial court, will hold a press conference at the Strasbourg courthouse on Friday December 20, 2024, at 11 a.m.”underlines the press release from the prosecution, relayed by BFMTV.
These expert assessments aim to discover the causes of Lina’s death. Will the prosecutor make new revelations about this affair which marked France for almost a year? Will we finally know under what circumstances the teenager lost her life?
The body immersed in a stream
More than a year after his disappearance in Alsace, the body was discovered “in a wooded and isolated area of the Nevers region”, “immersed in a watercourse located below an embankment”on October 17. THE vehicle of the main suspect had been geolocated in the area where the body was found, the day after the disappearance of the young girl.
At the end of September 2023, Lina mysteriously disappeared while on her way to the train station to join her boyfriend Tao in Strasbourg, Alsace. If the investigation struggled to progress for many months, the case took a completely different turn when justice suspected a man of having kidnapped Lina.
Video surveillance images in a gas station in Doubs show suspect number 1, Samuel G., with the stolen car in which Lina’s DNA was found, report our colleagues from The Republican East. Samuel G., 43, the main suspect in Lina’s disappearance was arrested in early January 2024 in Sigean, Aude, at the wheel of the car in which the young girl’s DNA was discovered, we learned Free Midday from consistent sources.
The car, a Ford Puma stolen in Germany, was kept for many months at the Narbonne pound, before the gendarmes from the Strasbourg research section discovered in June that this vehicle, which appeared on a list of a ten cars having been seen in the La Plaine sector (Bas-Rhin) on the day of the kidnapping, were kept there. But the main suspect in this case killed himself shortly before the summer.
