The Soustons gendarmerie in Landes launched a call for witnesses after the worrying disappearance of a 9-year-old child. After a day of searching, the child and his father were found this Friday, February 9.
Reported missing in Landes since the day before, Eden, aged 9, was found accompanied by his father this Friday February 9 in the afternoon. It is in Lot-et-Garonne, in the commune of Géraud, that the child and his father were found according to information from the prosecutor reported by BFMTV. The child was found in good health although in shock. The investigation should continue in order to clarify the circumstances of the disappearance which now seem to be related to family disputes.
The alert was launched by Eden’s mother this Thursday evening. The child disappeared in the town of Soustons in the Landes around 5:45 p.m. shortly after leaving school. Eden’s mother declared to the gendarmerie that she had entrusted her son to his father, from whom she was separated, after leaving school. Without news, she decided to alert the gendarmerie who then published a call for witnesses on Facebook in order to help the authorities find the little boy. The gendarmerie immediately favored the family trail, as indicated BFMTV. The outlet added that the boy’s schoolbag and phone were then found in a ditch shortly before 6 p.m. The gendarmerie indicated that the child could be on board a “black Renault Clio” according to their information.
The search to find Eden began Thursday evening, before resuming this Friday morning with around 80 Landes gendarmes according to BFMTV, a helicopter from the Bayonne gendarmerie and new technology investigators who notably made it possible to geolocate the child’s phone. .
