Father Christophe Guégan disappears

Father Christophe Guégan, the parish priest of Ploërmel in the Morbihan, vanished during the night of January 17 to 18, 2024, despite being expected to celebrate a mass. His disappearance sparked immediate concern and investigation.

Suicide hypothesis considered

Investigators initially leaned toward the hypothesis of suicide, a common consideration in cases where a person goes missing without a trace. However, this theory was met with skepticism by those close to Father Guégan.
