The Royal Gendarmerie has deployed significant resources to search this rugged, mountainous terrain. Helicopters are flying over the mouth of Lake Bin el Ouidane, while civil protection divers are inspecting waterways and canals.

Alongside the physical search, a judicial investigation has been opened to reconstruct the teenager’s last movements. Investigators are examining every possibility, from an accidental drowning following flooding to a criminal theory. According to local sources, no lead has been ruled out as interviews with people close to her continue.

The mobilization extends beyond official efforts, with many volunteers searching the grazing areas alongside the auxiliary forces. As anxiety grows and the chances of finding the girl alive diminish, the province’s governor is directly overseeing operations in the field in an effort to solve this mystery.
