3 years after her disappearance near Toulouse, new searches to find Cynthia
This Tuesday, November 15, the gendarmes of Haute-Garonne are carrying out searches in the Montrabé sector (31). Three years after the disappearance of Cynthia Stragapede, research continues to try to find the young woman aged 31 today.
Cynthia Stragapede disappeared on August 18, 2019. She was last seen that day in the Toulouse metro. Ten days later, the handbag, identity papers and clothes of the young woman are found by a hunter near Montrabé, a town east of Toulouse. The girl is described as psychologically fragile.
From the start of the investigation, the gendarmes of the Toulouse company deployed significant resources to find Cynthia, 28 years old. Drones and helicopters are used. Divers and the canine brigade are mobilized in the Montrabé area. Alas without result.
It is precisely from side of Montrabé that the searches are concentrated this Tuesday, November 15, 2022. More than thirty gendarmes are mobilized for this large-scale search. In camouflage, they inspect the slightest setbacks in the woods along the Seillonne river.
For the time being, it is impossible to know if a new element is at the origin of this operation.
On January 12, 2021, Cynthia’s mother testified on the antenna of France-Bleu Occitanie, a month after the disappearance of Delphine Jubillar. “I said to myself: another drama. And also I said to myself that it was great that there was so much mobilization for this lady. It made my heart very warm for her. Hoping for a good outcome. I saw that there is justice behind. Unlike us. We are not told anything, we have not been summoned. Nothing at all. I’m really disgusted because, for us, there hasn’t been so much media coverage. We didn’t take it seriously.” And to carry on, “Someone knows. She had friends in Toulouse. Someone knows. You have to put the pressure on like at Cagnac. It’s not a bag that I lost. It’s a child.”
The investigation is therefore relaunched with this search. Excavation that could continue Wednesday, November 16.
