A little more than a week after the disappearance of the young girl on September 23, the investigation took on a criminal dimension on Sunday with the opening of a judicial investigation “against voluntary release of more than seven days.”
This is “a change in procedural framework” marking “a new phase of the investigation which is now moving towards long-term investigations”, indicated the prosecutor, Yolande Renzi, in a brief press release.
“At this stage, no charges have been brought against anyone, no avenue being ruled out or favored,” added the magistrate.

The Saverne public prosecutor’s office, until then competent, relinquished responsibility on Sunday in favor of Strasbourg where two judges responsible for investigating the case were appointed.
Saturday and Sunday, after a week of intense but unsuccessful searches in the region of Plaine, a commune in Bas-Rhin where Lina comes from, the investigation seemed to take a new turn with excavations in a house in this village including the occupant, a man in his forties, was also interviewed.

A teenager with no history attending CAP “personal assistance”, Lina disappeared on Saturday September 23, late in the morning. She was walking to the Saint-Blaise-la-Roche station, three kilometers from home, a journey she was used to making, to take the train and join her boyfriend in Strasbourg.
Two witnesses say they saw her walking along the departmental road around 11:15 a.m. A few minutes later, his cell phone stopped ringing.
Questioned by M6, a third claimed to have seen her late Saturday morning in a “blue car” driven by a man with a “goatee”. “She didn’t seem to be worried or anything,” said the retiree.
For more than a week now, nothing has happened, despite the wanted notice launched the next day and the intense searches and investigations carried out: citizen searches, bodies of water probed, hearings or vehicle checks.
On Saturday, Le Parisien also relayed the testimony of a fifteen-year-old girl and her father, also residing in Plaine, and which seemed to support the unconfirmed scenario of a vehicle in which Lina could have go up, voluntarily or not.
