Two Missing French Schoolgirls Found Safe After Six Days

Clara, 14, and Helena, 15, were located in good health as two men face questioning for alleged corruption of minors.

Clara and Helena, aged 14 and 15, disappeared on January 23 after leaving their school in Sainte-Savine, near Troyes, France.
The girls were found safe on January 29 following extensive investigations, including phone tracking, video surveillance analysis, and public appeals for information.
Authorities initially suspected the girls had run away, based on evidence from social media and family accounts, but the case later took a criminal turn.
Two adult men have been detained for alleged corruption of minors, though their exact connection to the girls' disappearance remains unclear.
Families of the girls had expressed deep concern during the search, with Clara’s mother issuing public pleas for their return.
