a young man disappeared from Roanne more than two weeks ago

A 21-year-old young man living in Roanne (Loire) has been missing for more than two weeks, and an investigation was opened on Wednesday February 15 for “disturbing disappearance” then reclassified for “kidnapping, kidnapping or arbitrary detention”, a learned from franceinfo from the public prosecutor of Roanne.

Calls for witnesses have been launched by the police, said the same source. According to the prosecutor, Abdelkrim Grini, the young man, Jordan Membré, “left a group of friends and was walking home to his mother where he resides on Sunday February 5, around 3 a.m., when all trace of him was lost”. The latter considers “likely the intervention of a third party in this sudden and more than disturbing disappearance”.

“The exploitation of his telephone, his bank card, video surveillance of the city, in particular of the SNCF station and the bus station, gave nothing concerning this young man who does not have a vehicle”, said the chief prosecutor. He added that “the Loire and the port of Roanne were probed twice, in vain, by firefighters divers” in search of the body of the young man. “The firefighters searched the river upstream, downstream, the Roanne canal. Nothing. Jordan Membré vanished. He disappeared as if by magic, without leaving a trace”lamented the prosecutor Wednesday with the Parisian.
