Body of Lyhanna Found in Gers: Investigations Ongoing

Fleurance – 06/04/2026: Near Fleurance in Gers, a body was discovered on June 4, 2026, that may belong to the missing 11-year-old Lyhanna. The young student disappeared on May 29, 2026, after leaving Collège Hubert-Reeves. Security cameras showed her entering a vehicle registered to 41-year-old Jérôme B., the father of one of her friends. He was subsequently arrested and charged with “kidnapping and unlawful restraint of a minor under 15 years of age.” However, he denies any involvement in Lyhanna’s disappearance.

The body was found in an agricultural building near the location where Lyhanna was last seen. Forensic specialists were dispatched to investigate the scene and collect possible evidence. Following initial investigations, the body was transferred to a forensic institute for identification and autopsy.

Jérôme B. is already known for previous allegations involving underage girls. In August 2025, a complaint was filed for sexual abuse of a 10-year-old girl but was never prosecuted. These incidents raise questions about the judicial handling of such cases.

The investigations now focus on the precise identification of the found body and determining the cause of death. Lyhanna’s family has been informed of the discovery and is awaiting further examination results. Authorities emphasize that investigations are ongoing to obtain full clarity on the circumstances surrounding Lyhanna’s disappearance and possible death.

The Fleurance community is shaken by this incident. Residents and the family’s friends express their sympathy and hope for a swift resolution. Authorities appeal to the public to assist in clarifying the case and request any additional information that could help solve it.

Investigations continue, and authorities have announced they will keep the public informed about further developments. Until the body is definitively identified and the cause of death clarified, the situation remains tense. Lyhanna’s family is hoping for answers and justice for their daughter.

In the meantime, investigators persist in examining all facets of the case to hold those responsible accountable. The discovery of the body is a crucial step, but fully resolving the case requires further analyses and inquiries.

The Fleurance community remains in shock, and residents hope for a quick clarification of this tragic event. Authorities assure that everything possible is being done to bring the truth to light and to do justice to those responsible.
