Nearly 200 officers are mobilized to retrieve the girl, who was last seen in the afternoon of May 29 after getting into a man's car in front of her middle school in Fleurance, west of Toulouse. The 41 year-old suspect, father of one of Lyhanna's friends, was formally charged on June 1 with kidnapping and false imprisonment, and subsequently placed in custody.
