Body of girl missing for over a year found in France after GPS data extracted from suspected killer's car

The body of a French teenager who went missing 13 months ago has been found after a long police search halfway across the country from where she was last seen, authorities have announced.

Police had been searching for the 15-year-old — referred to only as "Lina" in French media — since her mysterious disappearance on September 23 last year.

They had amassed thousands of reports, conducted hundreds of interviews and analyzed hundreds of vehicles.
