On the morning of November 14, 2022, Juliette, 17, left her home located rue Dewez in Namur. She walked alone to the station, located a few hundred meters from her home. She then took the bus to go to the “La Sitrée” school located on rue Pierre Houbotte in Vedrin.

“She left her school of her own free will at 2:30 p.m. instead of 4 p.m. She then went to run an errand at the Carrefour Express in Vedrin. Then, she took the bus from Vedrin, rue Gustave Guidet, towards Namur. Since then, we have not known where she is,” her paternal grandfather, Jean-Claude Devyver, tells us. “At first it was a runaway, that’s for sure. His second in fact. My granddaughter is suffering from personal unhappiness. During her first in 2021, she went to the sea. She loved it there because she went there almost every vacation with me.”
But, today, we are no longer in this situation which led to a reunion. “After so much time, and with the police and Child Focus constantly searching and informing us, I know this has become more serious than running away. I don’t really believe it was an accident. A kidnapping? A kidnapping? A seizure following the meeting of a person who would encourage them not to contact us? Accommodation somewhere she mightn’t or wouldn’t call us from? Or even worse? I cling to the possibility that she is still alive. We come to this and preferred the scenario of the kidnapping rather than his death.”

Juliette, who still has both parents, also has four half-siblings. Jean-Claude and the young girl, now an adult, were very close: “Her vacations and Saturdays, she spent with me and my partner in Wépion.”

I pray that this call for witnesses will cause her to call us or the police if she has the chance. To those who host it, let them do the same. As for the possible kidnappers, let them show a minimum of humanity.
The grandfather began his own research. “Right from the start, I decided to ask a few friends from her class. I told myself that they would want to confide in Juliette’s grandfather more than in the police. We have received reports from relatives, friends or other people who think they have seen her somewhere. They are in good faith but, at this stage, all the leads have yielded nothing. And over the course of these failures, our energy deployed to find it is no longer that of the beginning, it’s true. We are in a more passive, distressing wait. We dream of reunion but we are also preparing for the worst.”
6 months ago, Jean-Claude went to France, to Givet. “It’s a place where I sometimes went for walks with Juliette.” On site, all efforts were in vain. “The French gendarmerie advised me to contact the Assistance and Search for Missing Persons association. One of the volunteer investigators and vice-president of the ARPD, a YouTuber from Lyon, even broadcast a video on her channel dedicated to Juliette’s disappearance.”
Juliette is 1m68 tall and thin. She has brown eyes and shoulder-length brown hair. She has a mole above her lip and an approximately 1 inch birthmark located on the outer side of her right thigh. The investigators are looking for friends or people who would have helped Juliette but also people in whom she might have confided. To the population, he asks them to check their photos, selfies or video between November 14 and 15, 2022. Juliette Goormans might have been photographed in the background.
“I pray that this call for witnesses will result in her calling us or the police if she has the chance. To those who host it, let them do the same. As for the possible kidnappers, let them show a minimum of humanity,” shouts the grandfather.
