Isabella O, 16, went missing on March 22. In the morning she had online lessons, and by noon, her younger brother noticed that she was not at home. The girl left her keys, wallet and mobile phone at home.
When she did not return home a few hours later, her parents called the police. The police organized a search that lasted two weeks. Service dogs were involved in the search, and they figured out the alleged path of the girl on the day of her disappearance. Her trail was lost near the shopping center.
Two weeks after she was declared missing, the French authorities announced that the girl had been found 800 kilometers from her home, wandering the streets of Paris.
According to police, Isabella had no physical injuries, but she lost her memory and did not remember who she was and how she ended up in France. Isabella is now undergoing a medical examination, and doctors are treating her. She is not allowed to see her parents until her condition improves.
Police spokesman Brigit Insinger said the case for the missing girl was closed, although they do not yet know how she ended up in France.
With FIVE FRANCS in his pocket?? Sounds bogus unless it’s an error. France hasn’t used francs as currency for two decades.
UPDATE: French police report that another youth from the same small German town of Celle was found on the streets of Paris – also with no memory of how he got there. The boy, Klaus, age 17, was found at the central train station by authorities responding to reports of a panhandling teen. Detective Sergeant Pierre LaFont said that the boy was found the day after Isabella with only 5 Franc in change, his student ID, some dried mushrooms, and a girl’s panties in his jacket pockets.
