A shocking end to Lina’s affair. This teenager, who disappeared on September 23, 2023 while walking to the station from her home in Bas-Rhin. After weeks of intensive search, his body was finally discovered on Wednesday October 16, 2024, near Nevers, in Nièvre.
For the moment, the circumstances of his death remain unclear and raise many questions. It is now after the tragic discovery of his body that experts will be able to begin to elucidate this mystery. They will begin extensive excavations at the discovery site, hoping to find clues. At the same time, Lina’s autopsy will be crucial to determine the exact causes of her death. Analysis of his clothes could also provide determining elements.
In Plaine, the small town in the Vosges where Lina and her family lived, it’s a shock. Violaine, a friend of Lina’s mother, spent the evening with her. “Last night, we were devastated. Devastated because somewhere deep down, we still had a little hope to say to ourselves ‘is she sequestered somewhere?’ Because we couldn’t find anything, and everything collapsed yesterdayr. It’s the effect of a bomb when you suddenly learn about it on TV. Despite our hopes, upon hearing this news, we said to ourselves, finally, they found her. She will be able to be returned to her family,” she confided to RTL.
Questions that remain unanswered
The investigation, continued by the gendarmes, has already established that Lina was kidnapped and tied up. Moreover, his DNA was found on ropes in the trunk of the stolen Ford Puma vehicle that the suspect was using. A suspect now deceased. Despite his suicide, his profile still allows investigators to consider certain hypotheses. Indeed, this 43-year-old man, father of a family, had never been talked about before the summer of 2023. The moment when he changes and leaves his family, his job, consumes a lot of drugs, leads a life of wandering. He steals the Ford Puma in Germany, steals gasoline from gas stations, and goes so far as to attack a grandmother and a supermarket cashier in Besançon. All this in a few weeks.
It will probably be impossible to determine why Samuel Gonin crossed paths with Lina that day. He had no connection to Plaine, no scouting was done before the kidnapping.
Unfortunately, the suspect took all the answers to these questions with him. In his suicide letter, he does not talk about the teenager, but he explains having lost his humanity and no longer knowing how to control himself..
