Around 4 p.m. this Thursday, the septuagenarian begins to tire. She therefore lets her son continue picking mushrooms in the forest of Chap del Bosc in the town of Montselgues. They meet at the car. But around 6 p.m., the son cannot find his mother at the car. He calls the gendarmes who immediately launch a search.
Walkers, many in the forest at that time, help them. A first canine team, a police dog is mobilized. In vain. This Friday morning, the police therefore mobilized a dog with a keener sense of smell, a Saint-Hubert, the elite of the gendarmerie. No foot patrol this morning, and walkers have been dismissed, because the Saint-Hubert needs a clear field, no olfactory pollution to be effective. If he does not manage to sniff out a track, around fifteen gendarmes will still crisscross the area this Friday afternoon hoping to find the septuagenarian.
