He is a member of the football club of this rural town of around 1,300 inhabitants, and even went to the match played by his team on Sunday, a few hours following the disappearance of Justine Vayrac, but did not come into play, said said a club member who requested anonymity.
The young woman, originally from Tauriac, in the neighboring department of Lot, had disappeared Sunday morning, around 4:00 a.m., near a nightclub in Brive, “La Charrette”, where she spent the evening with friends.
The group had first spent a moment in a bar in the city, “Le Local”, where Justine Vayrac was “a familiar face“according to the owners.
“We saw nothing alarming. Otherwise, we would have intervened. It was a night like any other“, they told an AFP correspondent.
The rest of the evening is a little more vague, but, according to several sources, Justine Vayrac would have felt bad in the disco following having drunk a few glasses of alcohol and would have decided to go to sleep in her car.
It was then that she crossed paths with the suspect, an “acquaintance” according to a friend of the young woman who left her with him and then went back to the nightclub.
Nearly an hour later, he no longer sees her in the car. He calls this “knowledge” which answers him “that he left because Justine felt better“.
A few hours later, he told her that Justine had told her that she was with another friend, but the young woman hadn’t heard from her companion since 2:00 a.m., which alarmed her friends.
Justine Vayrac’s mother was worried regarding not having heard from her since Sunday because she has a “fusional” relationship with her daughter who “lives 50 meters from home“, she explained earlier this week to an AFP correspondent.
Furthermore, on the evening of his disappearance, “her new boyfriend was waiting for her“, she had also indicated.
Justine Vayrac was training in Brive to become a caregiver, according to an elected municipal official in the town.
She was separated from the father of her child, who lives in Toulouse, but things between them were going “well”, according to her mother, and she had custody of the little boy.
