A man was taken into custody Tuesday, October 25, three days after the disappearance of a 20-year-old woman near a nightclub in Brive-la-Gaillarde (Corrèze). He is heard in the context of an investigation for kidnapping and forcible confinement, the public prosecutor said the same day.
Justine Vayrac, a student from Lot, has not been seen since Sunday morning, around 4 a.m., near the “La Charrette” nightclub where she spent the evening, prosecutor Emilie Abrantes explained in a press release. According to witnesses, the young woman, who lives about forty kilometers southeast of Brive, “Was last seen with a young man”near the discotheque, “while she was out to get some air”continues the magistrate.
This man, who “would be a friendly acquaintance met a few times in the nightclub”was taken into custody on Tuesday morning “in order to verify the chronology elements and to cross-check the various elements collected at this stage”. According to the prosecutor, the vehicle of the young woman was found near the discotheque, “open and containing personal effects”.
Research was carried out Monday evening by dog teams, without success. According to the notice issued by the police, the young woman has medium-length and smooth brown hair, light eyes and is 1.65 m tall. At the time of her disappearance, she was wearing a pastel pink dress and white Converse brand sneakers.
“It is not normal that she has not given any news since Sunday and it is unthinkable that she disappeared voluntarily”said the mother of Justine Vayrac to an AFP correspondent. “My daughter would never leave me without news. We are close friends, she lives 50 meters from my house, we see each other and we call each other all the time. She even comes to kiss me in the evening, before I leave for my night work.” On the evening of his disappearance, his daughter “had a drink, didn’t feel well and asked to go out” from the nightclub. “Her new boyfriend was waiting for her”she added.
