At the beginning of July, Adrien Mourialmé disappeared in the Lake Annecy region. The investigators in charge of the Maëlys case examine the various elements in order to find out if Nordahl Lelandais might be involved.
And what if there was a link between the disappearance of Maëlys and Adrien, the 24-year-old Belgian who vanished for no reason on 5 July? A native of Flawinne, the young man spoke with his mother every day until his daily calls were replaced by a terrible radio silence.
"He talked to me on the phone almost every day. He told me everything was fine for him. That everything wasn't always easy at the restaurant but that he was there first and foremost to make money. And he liked the region very much," Patricia told us, worried about her son.
Passionate about cooking, he planned to set up his own homemade cookie delivery company. "To launch this project, he needed funding. It was then that he had the idea of going to work near Annecy, in a hotel-restaurant. He said,"Don't worry, I'm back in three months." He's a great cook."
After several days without any news, Patricia decided to call the reception desk of the hotel-restaurant where he was hired. The managers tell her that Adrien hasn't shown up for work since the beginning of the week while his belongings are still in his room. Only a few clothes, a pair of sneakers and a backpack are missing. Since then, his phone and bank account have shown no particular movement.
On August 27th, it is the turn of Maëlys, 9 years old, to disappear in the region during a wedding party. This time, investigators quickly consider a family acquaintance as the main suspect: Nordahl Lelandais.
This week, Maëlys' alleged kidnapper and murderer was implicated in a second criminal proceeding. The investigators are therefore, for the moment, simply checking to see if there is a link between Adrien's disappearance and Nordahl Lelandais.

There is very little info available about his case.
July 5, 2017 was a
Wednesday. IMHO that would be when his mother made the call and was told that Adrien had not been seen 'since the beginning of the week.'
Backpack's come in all types and sizes, but given that most of his belongings were left in his room, this was probably a daypack. Looks like he went for a walk or a hike, or simply away for the weekend and something happened on the way.
Did he tell anyone where he was going? If he had plans, say, to go to Paris or Switzerland, he would no doubt have told his mother. But it cannot have been anything big. It is the tourist season in France and in the Annecy region. Hotels, restaurants, the entire hospitality industry are very busy. They don't hire extra hands only to give them free weekends. Adrien probably only had one day off, and went sight seeing. Is there a trail near where he was staying?
IMHO it is most likely that he had an accident and since no one knew that he was gone nor where, he wasn't found in time. Did they even search for him? Anyone? They should bring in the dogs and follow his tracks from his room.
I hope LE does not only look into a possible involvement of Nordahl Lelandais, but also actively search for Adrien.
