Disparition Lina: Surveillance Footage and New Leads in the Case Against Samuel G.
Key Developments in the Disparition Lina Case
On September 21, 2023, just two days before the disparition of Lina, surveillance footage captured Samuel G. at a gas station in Doubs. This video shows him filling up a gas tank before leaving without paying. However, it’s not just the theft that has caught the investigators’ attention; it’s the vehicle he drove—a blue Ford Puma. The vehicle is crucial as it contained the DNA of the missing teenager, discovered in July 2024.
Connection to the Disappearance
- Samuel G. was seen using the blue Ford Puma multiple times around the time of Lina's disappearance.
- Authorities have confirmed that the vehicle's license plate matches that used by Samuel G.
- The vehicle was seized in Aude before returning to Germany, which had previously been its location of theft.
Legal Outcomes and Ongoing Investigations
On January 6, 2024, Samuel G. was stopped by police following a previous refusal to stop in Sigean, leading to his arrest. He claimed to have purchased the Ford Puma for just 100 euros from a homeless individual, a story deemed false by investigators. His involvement with the vehicle leading up to Lina’s disappearance has now become an essential focus for authorities.
Tragically, Samuel G. took his own life on July 10, 2024, after the vehicle was confiscated. Investigators are now attempting to trace the vehicle’s GPS to uncover its journey after Lina’s disappearance, although searches in Vosges and Haute-Saône have yet to yield results.
