One week after the disappearance of Typhaine, the mystery remains unsolved

MAUBEUGE (AFP) - Accident, abduction by a stranger or family track: a week after the sudden disappearance of the small Typhaine, five years on the streets of Maubeuge, the mystery remains unsolved in this case occurred against a backdrop of dispute over custody the girl.

He was a little more than 16:30, Thursday 18 June, when Anne-Sophie Faucheur, 23 years old, the young mother Typhaine alerted police, claiming that her daughter had "gone in five seconds at a crossroads in the city center "as she walked 50 meters before it, not far from the banks of the Sambre.

Significant resources were immediately implemented: dog teams combing Maubeuge, divers in the Sambre, in vain.

A week later, investigators are still working on the three premises are: "family track, accident or abduction by a third."

Teams of dogs roam the streets of New City, firefighters still probing the Sambre and investigators continue to search for evidence.

Runway family, although nebulous, the attention of the police. Typhaine's parents, who were not married, separated in December 2005, on a dispute, sharing custody of the girl and her sister, Caroline, a year older.

Anne-Sophie Faucheur was awarded custody of Caroline and her partner, François Taton, of Typhaine.

But on January 22, the mother gets the youngest out of school - in Lille where the father - deceiving teachers.

Since then, Anne-Sophie Faucheur lived with her two daughters-in Aulnoye Aymeries (North), 15 km from Maubeuge, with his new companion, Nicolas Willot, 24, met in the fast-food restaurant where they both worked.

Therefore, the public appearances Typhaine not educated because they have obtained a certification for the cancellation of the old school are rare.

A plot element above all investigators: Saturday 13 June, five days before alerting the disappearance, Anne-Sophie and Nicolas Willot Faucheur celebrate the baptism of their third daughter, Appoline, after their union, with members their families.

But none thumbnail Typhaine and none expressed concern. Neither the evening of baptism, where parents spend the night yet at home. Neither the next day at a new family meals at home.

According to their position, they did not even know the existence of the child. Even the father of Nicolas Willot said did not know that Anne-Sophie had a second daughter.

Typhaine would have been lost before June 18?

Two witnesses, including one at the CPAM where the mother went on the day of the disappearance, however, claim to have seen this Typhaine June 18, which confirms the story of the mother.

Investigators have twice searched his home. Research has also occurred among maternal grandparents in Saint-Omer (Pas-de-Calais). Nothing has filtered.

Meanwhile, the family of Anne Sophie Faucheur, and the father of Typhaine, each sticking to their side of the photos that could help her.

"Morale is at zero, you feel empty and helpless," said Anne-Sophie Wednesday Faucheur, visibly moved, speaking to journalists for the first time since the beginning of the case.

Anger. It was very difficult to contain his resentment. Immediately after hearing Anne-Sophie explained that she had left Typhaine alone until late in the night, at the baptism of Apoline June 13, Marie-José exploded. "Typhaine is afraid of the dark," says the paternal grandmother when she lived with us, it only ever slept. Yesterday Taton family has contacted a lawyer to try to prosecute on a "negligence inadmissible and shameful".

"Sorry." Francois, the father of Typhaine, claims to have had direct contact with the mother of that Typhaine June 18. That day, early evening, parents were at the police station in Maubeuge. "She said not a word, reveals Francis Taton: forgiveness."

The last visit to Typhaine. "I moved to Aulnoye unannounced, overflows a sister of Francis, until very discreet. "I wanted to see my niece, that's all. It was a Saturday, April 11. I did not address, I went to the barracks where Nicolas is a firefighter (volunteer): I was given without any problems. "Aunt reaches 19 hours. The home of Anne-Sophie is not really friendly. "At first she was suspicious, is the sister of Francis Taton, and launched me," You just do what? "" The little girl, she seemed intimidated, reluctant to approach her aunt. "She has not recognized immediately, but after she came into my arms and it was discussed. His hair was cut, she had lost weight, looked tired. Typhaine asked if I could come to the baptism of my son May 16, Anne-Sophie said yes, but took no action. I went to 22 hours. This is the last time I saw her. "Nobody in the family Taton never Typhaine reviewed after the visit. On June 6, Marie-José asked to speak to his granddaughter. "It is with his godfather in Saint-Omer," says Anne-Sophie. An "information" that the grandmother could never verify. Then nothing, until 18 June What happened in between? Wondered aloud family Taton.

Incomprehensible. Francis does not credit the explanation given by Anne-Sophie to justify the abandonment of Typhaine the day of baptism Apoline: fear he comes to remove it. "I knew neither the date nor the place," says the father of the child, "then how could I come back Typhaine that day? On the whole, said the family, there were more likely to leave home alone, while Taton knew the address of Anne-Sophie and Nicolas from visiting the sister of Francis, April 11 .

In his old school. Guestbook, posters, in kindergarten when Rollin was educated Typhaine two years, until December 2008, parents and children are in shock. His teacher remembers perfectly Typhaine: "A girl always clean, cute, character quite soaked, whose relations with the other children were sometimes a little difficult." Each day, the companion of his father and had brought Faches-Thumesnil look underground and was always on time. "She was very good." The teacher had called for François Typhaine would be too often repeated in order. He came with Sabrina and announced ready for Typhaine "a more stable life."

Disappearance of Typhaine: large-scale excavations, yesterday morning in Maubeuge

A GOOGLE TRANSLATION

Fifty CRS and french and Belgian police have carried out excavations in search of Typhaine yesterday morning, in wooded areas near the downtown of Maubeuge. En vain. In vain.

It is now assumed that almost Typhaine was not an accident the afternoon of June 18, when the mother of the little five year reported his disappearance to Maubeuge. Yesterday morning, the judicial police in Lille, in charge of the investigation, has again demonstrated that it would leave nothing to chance in this case by holding a large deployment in search of the child.

It was almost 9 pm when a 30 fifty police officers - the vast majority of the frameworks of the company Béthune - have landed in Maubeuge to undertake excavations. During their previous investigations, the investigators had squared the city center, surveyed the Sambre, Monnier ponds and inspected the tracks and abandoned buildings. Yesterday, they were attacked on three wooded areas near places of alleged disappearances and near the train station, where a girl thinks seeing Typhaine few minutes after his mother said to have lost sight of.

Framed by three men of the judicial police, which the Commissioner Cros, charged with the investigation, CRS explored areas a little back from the city center, where Typhaine could have been an accident, or left there by a criminal trying to avoid the police who sought the child on the evening of June 18. The possibility of finding his body in the woods, twelve days after the disappearance, was limited. But the men of the police wanted to have the heart net, so as to close the track and focus on other assumptions.

Belgian police, already support from their colleagues french last week with a sonar to probe the Sambre, again participated in the investigations. This time with a support dog, created following the Dutroux case and specializes in finding cadavers. French and Belgian police spent over three hours to inspect the terrain and provided with a large vegetation. While the CRS increased difficulty in the middle of brambles and nettles with great bursts of batons, dogs inspected the holes and the many pipes that pass through the walls. 12 : 30 hours, the search ended without giving any results.

It is unclear whether Typhaine is still alive today, but the trail of the accident or crime near the scene of the alleged disappearance is now excluded. Remain two cases where investigators are able to devote full-time: those of the kidnapping and the family track.

Only two witnesses, except her mother, have reported seeing Zena Maubeuge. A girl reported having noticed shortly after 16 am a girl matching his description, wandering alone, near the station and weeping. And an employee of the CPAM de Maubeuge told to have received 15 h 10 Anne-Sophie Reaper, mother, and assured that it was accompanied by her daughter. The PJ was able to contact some of the insured persons present in the agency this afternoon then. None could confirm the testimony of the employee. Crime Squad is therefore seeking to hear those she could not identify so far.

B.R.
Anyone having gone to the CPAM de Maubeuge, June 18 this afternoon, should contact the CID at 0 805,557,559.
