Disparition inquiétante d'une octogénaire dans le Tarn : appel à témoins lancé

The authorities of the Tarn department have been mobilized since Saturday March 28, 2026 to find a resident of the region whose disappearance is causing serious concern. Suzanne Manat, aged 85, gave no further sign of life after leaving her home to visit a member of her family.

According to information provided by the gendarmerie, the disappearance was reported on Saturday evening in the Monestiés sector, a town located near Carmaux. The search was immediately initiated, but on Sunday evening, the person sought could not be found, which led the police to intensify their investigations.

Investigators specify that the octogenarian was driving her white Renault Twingo, registered AV-851-XY, when she was last seen. This vehicle currently constitutes a central element in the research, and the gendarmes hope that testimonies will make it possible to retrace its route.

Faced with the lack of news, a call for witnesses was officially launched this Sunday March 29, 2026. The authorities invite anyone who has seen the car or its occupant to come forward quickly. The exact circumstances of this disappearance remain to be determined, but the advanced age of the person concerned adds a particularly worrying dimension to this case.

This situation highlights the importance of the research systems put in place for vulnerable people. In France, worrying disappearances are the subject of rapid mobilization of the police and gendarmerie services, with procedures adapted according to the profiles of the individuals sought.
