The gendarmes had multiplied wanted notices, widely shared on social networks. The worst happened this Tuesday around 4:30 p.m. The body of a 19-year-old young woman, Lauren Riches, was discovered near a nightclub in Saint-Flour (Cantal) where she had spent the evening of Saturday, we learned on Tuesday from the Aurillac parquet flooring.
“The young woman was found dead in a field a few hundred meters from the nightclub,” declared Cyril Vicente, deputy public prosecutor in Aurillac. “No avenue has been ruled out and everything is possible, such as the possibility that she was disoriented and died of cold,” he added.
Investigators did not observe any injuries that could be linked to blows with a blunt object, pending the arrival of a doctor, said the same source.
She had left the nightclub alone and on foot
The young woman disappeared during the night from Saturday to Sunday as she left this nightclub in Saint-Flour near the A75 around 3 a.m. She had left the establishment alone on foot, according to video surveillance cameras.
A wanted notice was launched Tuesday afternoon by the Saint-Flour gendarmerie, notified on Sunday by the young woman’s worried friends. The searches were concentrated near the nightclub where the young woman’s cell phone continued to be blocked, said prosecutor Vicente.
“The young woman was wearing a short-sleeved black bodysuit on the evening of the disappearance, as well as a patterned skirt and white sneakers. Her hair was curly and loose,” we could read on the wanted posters. The investigation into the causes of death was entrusted to the Saint-Flour gendarmerie.
