Lisa, a 17-year-old French teenager whose disappearance kept France in suspense for 24 hours, has acknowledged to researchers that at no time was she kidnapped and she will be prosecuted for a complaint “of imaginary infringement”, according to the French media reported this Saturday, cited by the Efe agency.
The young woman’s parents denounced her disappearance on Monday when she went for a run in a forest near Saint-Brice and the French press turned to cover the event with anguish, while hundreds of gendarmes were looking for her around the area, especially in the Bellebranche forest. The authorities even opened an investigation for kidnapping, after finding bloodied objects belonging to the young woman.
The worst possible outcome was feared when, on Tuesday night, the minor showed up at a restaurant in the area “in a state of psychological shock.” claiming that he had been the victim of a kidnapping and that he had managed to escape.
The girl, who had superficial injuries, began to be questioned Wednesday at the hospital and researchers began to doubt his version: Lisa could not describe her alleged captors and the injuries she had did not correspond to the brutality of the reported attacks.
Finally this friday ended up confessing the invention at the Chateau-Gontier-sur-Mayenne police station and, as reported by the Procurator of the French Republic in Laval, will be processed by complaint “of imaginary infraction”.
According to this source, the minor herself even ripped her shirt with scissors to give her story more credibility. At the moment the reason for the lie that mobilized so many material and human resources is unknown and the authorities have determined that the young woman must undergo a psychiatric examination.
