“A flock of birds seemed strange to me”: this detail alerted a walker and led to the discovery of Lyhanna’s body

What testimony led investigators to the agricultural silo?

It was a man who regularly hikes in Puycasquier who alerted the police. While the search for little Lyhanna was in full swing, he noticed birds hovering above the silo. This unusual behavior immediately alarmed him. “I thought it might be hunters who had abandoned some game. I went home, thought about it, and called the police,” he told TF1 on Friday, June 5, 2026. “A flock of birds seemed strange to me; they were hovering. When I got back, I saw the same birds, and it seemed odd to me,” he explained. It was after this call that the police focused their search on the silo.
