An 11-year-old girl's body was found in a wooded area near her school in Épinay-sur-Orge, France , on Saturday, prompting a murder investigation. Louise Lasalle, from Essone, had been missing since Friday afternoon when she was last seen leaving André-Maurois middle school around 1:50 pm. Her disappearance sparked a frantic search involving police, drones, helicopters, and specialist dogs, as well as a social media appeal from her sister.
Tragically, Louise's body was discovered in Parc des Templiers, approximately half a mile from her school, early on Saturday morning. Le Parisien reported that CCTV footage captured Louise heading towards the park before she vanished. Grégoire Dulin, the public prosecutor, confirmed that an investigation into the murder of a minor has been opened and is being overseen by the Versailles division that specializes in combating organized and specialized crime. An autopsy is scheduled to determine the cause of death. In a related development, a 23-year-old man and his 20-year-old partner were arrested on Saturday morning. CCTV footage reportedly captured the man, who was subsequently detained along with his girlfriend at their residence in Épinay-sur-Orge around 12:45 am. The couple's connection to Louise's death is currently under investigation. The local authority expressed its condolences to Louise's family, stating that all possible resources were deployed to locate her after her disappearance was reported.
