A new disappearance case is worrying both the authorities and the relatives of the person who vanished. It concerns a man named Louis, aged 28, who was lost on the sidelines of a music festival that was taking place at the end of June.
New twists and turns in the investigation opened after the report of the disappearance of young Émile in July 2023 have rekindled the debate around the circumstances of his death, confirmed after the discovery of bones by a hiker over the Easter weekend. The same is true of the case of Lina’s disappearance last September, when the teenager vanished during her trip to Strasbourg, which was supposed to allow her to find her boyfriend. A man suspected of having sexually assaulted her before was questioned by investigators and said he was busy “smoke a big joint with a friend” at the time of the events, in September 2023 (New Detective).

More recently, other cases have begun to worry the authorities, such as that of French tourists who disappeared in Greece while they had decided to go hiking, or that of Lisa, 16, of whom there has been no news for several days. Now another disappearance is making headlines in the Nord department, in Dunkirk more precisely, that of Louis.
Could Louis have drowned during the evening?
The 28-year-old has not given any sign of life since he took part in the The citadel festival on the edge, on the night of Friday 29 to Saturday 30 June. “An investigation has been opened to find the causes of a disappearance”we learned from France 3 Regionsfrom the public prosecutor’s office of the Nord sub-prefecture. “It was entrusted to the Dunkirk national police district (CPN)”it is further stipulated, before confirming that the “Extensive searches have failed to find this man”for the moment. His relatives say they are particularly worried in a message published on Facebook in order to relay as much information as possible to help find Louis. “My brother Menue Louis has not given any news since 3am. He was on the banks yesterday in the Citadel in Dunkirk. If anyone has seen him, please contact us because his family is becoming increasingly worried.”wrote his older brother in this regard.

The one who calls himself Clem also adds in the comments that Louis’ cap had been found in the water. “It is therefore highly probable that he fell into the water, without being able to get back up.”he believes, aware of the urgency of the situation. “This time that has passed since Friday is breaking us down and unfortunately indicates the worst.”he concluded, holding out little hope of seeing his brother alive again.
Relatively frequent cases of drowning
If Louis had finally drowned during the night of Friday 28 to Saturday 29 June, he would not be the first. It can even be said that it is not uncommon for a man to meet this same fatal fate. Last spring in Moncoutant-sur-Sèvre, Erwan’s body was recovered and the causes of his death by drowning were confirmed immediately. Shortly before, it was Maeva who had fallen into the water near the port of Le Havre, on New Year’s Eve. Further back in time, in the Loire which crosses the city of Nantes, the bodies of Yann Bougaran and Yuri Diagne were recovered after their disappearance had been reported in the evening. And how can we forget the unfortunate discovery in April of the body of Pablo, 18 years old, in a river in the Vienne.
