Karine left her family home in Jussy, located in the Moselle department of the Lorraine region in France, at approximately 7:50 AM on June 4, 1999.
She was a first-year-high school student on a medical social care course, completing a work placement at a local retirement home.
The day before she went missing, she was deeply distressed by an incident that occurred at her internship. She returned home in a state of distress, locked herself in her room, and left the following morning without her identification documents or money.
At the time, she was described as being in a fragile state of health and mind, and she was said to require urgent medical care. Her family emphasised that this factor was not adequately considered by the initial investigators.
She was reportedly last seen running barefoot in Moulins-lès-Metz, also in the Moselle department, later that same day.
The case was initially handled under the assumption that she had left of her own will. As Karine was legally an adult (18 years old), this limited the initial police action, according to her family. This prompted her parents, Maurice and Michèle Ledoux, to take the initiative in leading an extensive search effort.
Despite these efforts and the ongoing involvement of the family in keeping the case active in the media for over 25 years, no significant breakthroughs have occurred.
For years, Karine's parents tried, albeit unsuccessfully, to find their daughter. With time, however, they began to lose hope of finding her alive.
