"She was on her way home. The path she takes to return is from
Saint-Bonnet center, to
Fougères in Villefontaine," her sister said in the Facebook post announcing her disappearance.
“The last call she made was at the Prairie stadium at 7 pm, since she no longer responds to messages, to calls,” explains Romane Dartois.

Contacted by the regional daily, the Vienna prosecutor's office confirmed the information and specified that an investigation for a worrying disappearance had been opened and entrusted to the Villefontaine territorial brigade.

wearing jeans, a pink Nike sweatshirt, white Puma sneakers and sunglasses. She
measures 1m65. In her Facebook post, her sister also clarified that the girl was wearing the same
white handbag she has in the photos released as well as the same earrings.
Shortly before 7 p.m., she was seen in the area of the Prairie stadium, which is confirmed by the use of the
city's video surveillance cameras. She
probably had to take a bus back to Les Fougères.
For his part, the mayor of Villefontaine, Patrick Nicole-Williams, provided support to the family, while the municipal police put their resources at the disposal of investigators.

at 9:30 p.m., prosecutor Audrey Quey told AFP, confirming information from the released Dauphiné .
"All the hypotheses, from the most reassuring to the least reassuring, are considered and
I do not exclude any hypothesis," she added.

work in joint referral with their colleagues from the Bourgoin-Jallieu research brigade.
Sunday:
7:40 am: Concern is growing hour by hour in Villefontaine where Victorine, 18, has been missing since Saturday evening.
Because it is in this sector, according to information from the released
Dauphiné, that the gendarmes lost track of the young girl.
Engaged on several occasions this Sunday, the dog team, with a
Saint-Hubert dog known for its flair, lost its trace near the wood located in the extension of the Prairie stadium.
Yesterday, divers began to explore one of the area's four "water points", to no avail. They will continue their research this morning. Pedestrian sweeps will also continue this Monday morning.
While the research resumes this
Monday morning, the released
Dauphiné learns that the investigators cannot count on the student's phone: he has remained silent since his disappearance. Either the device was turned off or its battery was flat. Also, it cannot be geoconnected.
Monday:
8:48 am: The research with a Saint-Hubert dog
has just resumed in heavy rain.
The gendarmerie calls on the population not to participate in the research
so as not to cloud any olfactory traces. The Saint-Hubert dog followed by his master himself followed by one of several gendarmes, has sunk into the woods.
8:10 am: This morning, research will resume,
focusing on the Saint-Bonnet pond nature reserve. An area
extending over about fifty hectares, composed of a pond, reed beds and woods.
1:55 p.m.: The Vienna
prosecutor has just clarified the circumstances of the
discovery of a body that remains to be formally identified. First, investigators found his sneakers, purse, and a surgical mask in this small stream.
As they progressed, they discovered a body that, as of yet, has not been formally identified, in the words of the prosecutor.
A second team of criminal identification technicians has also arrived on the scene. The prosecutor also announced that it was
"probably facts of a criminal nature", announcing that
she would withdraw in the afternoon in favor of the criminal center of Grenoble.
2:29 p.m.: Three technicians in criminal identification put on their white coveralls before entering the "criminal scene".
The technical and scientific police findings could last a good part of the afternoon.
3:57 p.m.:
The forensic doctor is in the process of making findings on the victim's body. According to information from the released Dauphiné, the
body of the young girl would not be naked.
3:49 p.m.: The criminal
identification technicians continue their meticulous findings. A white marquee has been erected on the road in order to protect them f
rom the rain and to carry out the necessary investigative acts under cover. The different "effects" of the young girl are placed under seal once the samples have been taken.
4:13 p.m.: Victorine's body was discovered just before the outlet of the stream allowing it to cross the departmental road,
before flowing 200 meters further into the pond.
The place of discovery is a few tens of meters from the first clues discovered at the
end of the morning, namely the
student's sneakers and handbag, as well as a surgical mask. The banks of this stream are steep and wooded.
A second team of criminal identification technicians has also arrived on the scene. The prosecutor also announced that it was
"probably facts of a criminal nature", announcing that she would withdraw in the afternoon in
favor of the criminal center of Grenoble.

The lifeless body of Victorine Dartois, 18, was found Monday, September 28 in Villefontaine, in Isère. The public prosecutor of Vienna, Audrey Quey, confirmed that it was indeed the body of the young woman, missing since the previous Saturday evening. The body "was submerged in a stream and difficult to access," the prosecutor said at a press conference. "It is too early to say when he died and what are the causes," she added.
Sneakers and a handbag matching those of 18-year-old Victorine had previously been found as part of research in the area. "Everything suggests that this is not an accident," said the Vienna prosecutor earlier today. The Grenoble criminal center is now in charge of the investigation. The prosecutor recalled that anyone who can provide information to the investigation should call the following number: 0 800 200 142.
The disappearance of Victorine on Saturday evening prompted the immediate opening of an investigation for "worrying disappearance".
Although she is of age, her absence immediately worried because according to the last elements of conversation with her relatives, "she was going home, there was no discomfort, she had not had any problem in her day. It does not look like a fugue ", had underlined the magistrate.
A beat gathered many volunteers
Large resources had been engaged with helicopter, ground police and a Saint-Hubert
dog specialized in searching for people. The water points (ponds, streams) have been screened by divers since Sunday. Several dozen gendarmes were on the ground again on Monday and the prosecutor urged "to let them work and pollute the places of investigation as little as possible".
At the same time, technical investigations were carried out on the telephony, CCTV tapes are being used and investigators have conducted numerous hearings.
The older sister of the young missing had already launched an appeal Sunday on social networks, posting photos of her sister and describing her outfit on Saturday (jeans, pink sweatshirt, sneakers).
