Nathalie disappeared on 13 April 1980 in SAINT-CLEMENT-DES-BALEINES (Île de RÉ - 17). She was on vacation with her uncle and her aunt, they went crab fishing at the Phare des Baleines lighthouse. In the morning her uncle went away to fish, while her aunt stayed with her closer to the coast. They chatted for a moment, then without realizing it, they moved away from each other. Later in the morning, Nathalie's uncle and aunt looked for her in vain, she had disappeared ...

This mystery has been a burden weighing on the shoulders of Nathalie's uncle and aunt for over 25 years ...

Nathalie's father died in 2000. Her mother, aunt, uncle and the rest of the family are waiting to know what happened to her that morning? ... They haven't heard from Nathalie since ...

What happened? Running away? Abduction? ...

Someone may have seen something abnormal on the morning of 13 April 1980, to date no one has reported anything ...
