Without money
According to the missing man's sister, who posted a wanted notice on Facebook, the police tried to geolocate the young man's cell phone, but the device does not transmit.
“He sent messages, photos or videos every day since he left for Méribel.
And since Wednesday, nothing, we do not understand.
He has no money on him.
