Announced missing in the early morning of Sunday October 23, 2022, Justine Vayrac was finally found after the confession of a certain Lucas L. The latter, seen with the young woman shortly before her disappearance, confessed to the authorities having raped her under the coercion of a man (before finally recanting and sharing a consented report) then killed and buried not far from the family farm in which he works. Information from the young man led the police to the body. An investigation has been opened and has been trying for more than a week to shed light on all the gray areas of the case.

After the departure of the victim and his executioner, “Lucas indeed answers his phone and stands up to Theo, worried about his friend. ‘Let me finish’, he dares to write, saying he finds himself ‘in the act’ with another young girl. Is he actually talking about Justine? Is she already dead, or even buried?” report it Parisian.

Exchanges preceding the reunion of Lucas L. with a friend, strongly suggesting that the young man had the will to constitute an alibi…
Lucas L. remains presumed innocent of the charges against him until the case is finally closed.
