Philippine, a 19-year-old student, was found dead in the Bois de Boulogne, in the west of Paris, on Saturday, September 21. Her sister had alerted the police the day before. Philippine, who was due to go to her parents’ house in Yvelines to spend the weekend there, had not given any news for several hours. Search notices were issued. She was last seen on Friday at 2 p.m. at the restaurant of the Paris-Dauphine University, located a few hundred meters from the Bois de Boulogne.
On Saturday, around fifty relatives and volunteers spontaneously launched a search. Philippine’s body, buried in a wooded area, was found after only an hour of searching, by locating her mobile phone. For the moment, the only lead is a suspicious individual with a pickaxe, who was apparently seen by a witness in the woods. An investigation for voluntary homicide has been opened and entrusted to the criminal brigade of the judicial police.
