"I have something to say to Karine if she listens to us. If she wants to come back, it is especially that she does not hesitate, "delivers to Europe 1 Michel Pialle, ex-companion of the missing woman. If the father of the family first thought of a voluntary departure with another man, the silence, now, is very heavy. Neither he nor their three children have heard from Karine for nearly two months.

"If she wants to make her life, let her tell us. At least we will be reassured, we will be able to start working, "reports Michel Pialle. On April 9, two weeks after the disappearance, investigators discovered Karine's mobile phone, found without a SIM card but intact on the side of a road by the mayor of the town, Frédéric Roger. "The phone was in perfect working order and charged properly. He had not been in the ditch for a fortnight. He would have had moisture on the screen or things like that, "continues Karine's ex-husband.
