CELIAN ZIADE. The man, aged 25 or 26, was found safe and sound on Thursday July 28. Célian Ziade had disappeared three days earlier in Lyon, after leaving a disturbing letter.
[Mis à jour le 28 juillet 2022 à 18h44] Célian Ziade had disappeared in Lyon since Monday July 25. Thursday, July 28, the Rhône national police indicated that the young man, aged 25 or 26, was found “safe and sound”, thanks to a mobilization and numerous sharing of the call for witnesses which had been launched Wednesday, July 27. His family and the authorities were particularly worried, when the man had been seen for the last time “on the banks of the Rhône around one o’clock in the morning”, on the night of Sunday to Monday. Célian Ziade had also left a letter deemed “very worrying” by his mother, who had not revealed its content.
Célian Ziade left a “very worrying” letter
The disappearance of Célian Ziade “really worries” the mother of the young man. First because no sign of life has been given for more than three days and then because, according to her, the missing person “left a letter in his apartment which is very, very worrying”. No details on the content of the letter have been released.
The kidnapping alert was not triggered, why?
The Rhône national police have only launched a search notice for Célian Ziade, the device provided in the event of a worrying disappearance. On the other hand, the kidnapping alert was not launched for several reasons. Such an alert can only be triggered in the event of an abduction, whether proven or not, and not for a disappearance, even if this is considered worrying. Above all, the kidnapping alert can only concern a minor victim. Célian Ziade is 25 or 26 years old according to the wanted poster, which explains why she was not activated. Now that he has been found, the police are asking to stop circulating the young man’s wanted notice.
