We should know more about her profile this Wednesday at the end of the day during the press briefing by the Saint-Brieuc public prosecutor on the disappearance of Morgane, found safe and sound on Tuesday fifteen days after her disappearance. However, some elements have already leaked about the 21-year-old young man who hosted the 13-year-old schoolgirl in a young workers' home in Coutances (Manche), 200 kilometers from the family home in Pabu (Côtes-d'Armor) that the young daughter had left on November 25.
Originally from Rennes, he was arrested and placed in police custody “on charges of arrest, kidnapping, sequestration of a minor under the age of fifteen”, the Saint-Brieuc prosecutor's office said in a press release. In this home, which the apprentice would have joined a month ago, no one has ever encountered Morgane, whose length of stay in Coutances is still unknown. But according to a former resident, “it's easy to bring someone there without the guards knowing, if the guy wanted to hide the girl there, it wasn't complicated.”
A strange request made to a woman
Questioned by RMC, another tenant of the home claims that the young man confided that he knew Morgane. “He told us that she had problems with her parents, that he was there to help her if she wanted, that he knew her situation very well,” he told our colleagues.
It was thanks to a testimony from a lady living in Charente-Maritime that investigators managed to trace her. According to The Telegramthe suspect allegedly showed up at this woman's house claiming to be a friend of her son and then asked her if she had a room to accommodate a teenage girl. Troubled by this request, the woman then made the link with Morgane's disappearance and contacted the authorities.
Not registered in the register of perpetrators of sexual offenses
Contrary to the first information which circulated on his profile, the young man was not registered in the file of perpetrators of sexual offenses. But according to The Telegramhe has already been implicated “for acts likely to be qualified as an offense of a sexual nature”.
Tuesday morning, Morgane was found in the suspect's apartment “in good health” and “free to move around”. She had to be “rapidly examined by a doctor and be heard by the investigators”, Nicolas Heitz, public prosecutor of Saint-Brieuc, said in his press release on Tuesday.
