A body was discovered Monday morning in Villefontaine (Isère), near the scene of the disappearance of a young girl on Saturday evening, we learned from a source close to the investigation, confirming information from the regional daily Le Dauphiné Libéré .
This body, found in a place difficult to access, has not yet been formally identified.
But sneakers and a handbag matching those of Victorine, 18, were previously found as part of research in the area, the same source said.
"I am not in a position to say that it is about the body of Victorine", declared on the scene the public prosecutor in Vienna, Audrey Quey, awaiting the report of the technicians in criminal identification.
The girl's family had reported her disappearance to the gendarmerie at 9:30 p.m., worried that she would not return home when her last call around 7:00 p.m. indicated that she was returning home.
The Vienna public prosecutor's office immediately opened an investigation for "worrying disappearance", the scenario of a possible escape hardly seeming probable.
After a fight organized on Sunday at the initiative of the older sister in the area of disappearance, near a sports complex, the search resumed Monday morning with the help of a specialized dog, which scored at the level of a buzzard near a stream.
"Everything suggests that it is not an accident", added the prosecutor of Vienna who should speak again to the press at the end of the day, once the body has been identified, and relinquish jurisdiction. profit of the prosecution of Grenoble, competent in criminal matters.
The family of the missing girl is currently at the Villefontaine gendarmerie brigade.
