Ce samedi 21 septembre, Philippine Le Noir de Carlan, 19 ans, a été retrouvée morte dans le bois de Boulogne. Cette jeune étudiante à l’école Paris-Dauphine était introuvable depuis la veille.

The body found buried in the Bois de Boulogne was indeed that of Philippine Le Noir de Carlan, reports Le Parisien. The 19-year-old woman, a student at Paris Dauphine University, had been missing since Friday evening.

A growing concern

Last seen in the student canteen where she had lunch, she was supposed to go to her parents' house straight away. When they noticed that she hadn't arrived, they tried to call her several times. In vain.

According to our colleagues at BFMTV, It was finally Philippine's sister who decided to raise the alarm on Friday evening by going to the police station in the 16th arrondissement of Paris. A disturbing disappearance procedure was then opened.

Found the next day during a search

A search was organized on Saturday by her relatives to try to find her. Thanks to the location of her phone, police officers located her body, largely buried in the Bois de Boulogne. According to Le Parisien, he presents "multiple injuries".

No arrests yet

An investigation has been opened for intentional homicide. According to BFMTV, no one has been arrested yet but a man wearing a surgical mask was reportedly seen by witnesses. He had a pickaxe and seemed to be walking towards a lake.
