Couple missing in Deux-Sèvres: Kevin’s father and Leslie’s father-in-law imprisoned

Their disappearance is now several months old. On November 25, 2022, Kevin Tompat and Leslie Hoorelbeke mysteriously disappeared after spending an evening with friends. Our colleagues from New Detective then took an interest in this affair in their publication of 11 January. And now, according to them, a member of the young man’s family is in prison. Indeed, during the search organized on January 5, journalists were present to collect the testimony of certain relatives. It would then seem that Kevin Tompat’s father, Guy, is imprisoned. Known as “a guy in his forties” who “evolves in gypsy circles ‘unfavorably known to the police services'”, he would have been imprisoned following a “altercation” and would be cited in numerous court cases.

Does he have a connection with the disappearance of his son? For the moment, nothing proves it. Nevertheless, the investigators opt for the criminal track as to the disappearance of the two young people. “The legal qualification retained at this stage, in the state of the disappearance of Mrs. Leslie Hoorelbeke and Mr. Kevin Trompat, and without news from them, is a qualification of a criminal nature (arrest, kidnapping, detention or sequestration, committed against several persons and without voluntary release before the 7th day)”.

Concerned parents

Leslie’s parents are therefore very worried. “We are not an investigator, we cannot really know, but in any case, we are almost convinced now that everything starts from this evening and the fact that there is this amount of money, it brings our ideas closer to ‘a crime that would be rather venal. That, there is no doubt about it. Today we see our daughter more as collateral damage, actually.. And that is scary”
