A witness appeal has been issued after a 16-year-old girl disappeared with her 3-month-old infant in the Landes region of southwestern France. The gendarmerie, which is the military police force in rural areas of the country, announced the appeal on Friday, September 18, following the disappearance of Tchana B. She fled with her baby on Thursday evening, between 10:50 p.m. and 11:50 p.m., in Saint-Sever, a town south of Mont-de-Marsan. Since then, there have been no signs of her or the infant.
Tchana B. is described as having brown eyes and long black hair that is braided. She is 1.68 meters tall and of average build. She also has tattoos on her arm and a nose piercing. These details are being shared to help identify her if she is spotted in the area.
Authorities are urging anyone with information that could help locate Tchana B. and her child to come forward. The gendarmerie has provided contact numbers for the public to reach out—either by calling 05.58.76.49.28 directly or using the general emergency number 17. The appeal highlights the urgency of the situation, as the young mother and her infant remain missing.
The disappearance has raised concerns in the local community, and the gendarmes are working closely with local authorities to investigate the circumstances. The public is being asked to remain vigilant and report any sightings or relevant information that could aid in the search.
