Besides the alleged murderer Lucas L., Théo is the last person to have seen Justine Vayrac. He returned to his chilling exchange of messages with the suspect.
He is a figure in spite of herself at the heart of the investigation into the murder of Lotoise Justine Vayrac, 20 years old. Théo, a friend of the victim, gave the investigators a capital account, which allowed the investigators to understand how the young mother ended up finding herself alone, in the company of Lucas L, the alleged murderer, on the night of Saturday 22 to Sunday October 23. The young man thus accompanied the young woman to the nightclub “La Charrette”, in Brive-la-Gaillarde, when she disappeared.
