Their
untroubled faces stare out from photos placed on Twitter by worried
loved ones. Having vanished during the night of terror, their pictures
were posted under the hashtag #rechercheParis (‘search Paris’) by family
and friends desperate to know if they are alive.
As
each hour has passed, the poignant gallery has grown. Stories of hope
and despair emerged. A photograph of one French girl had the simple
message: ‘Share please — she is only 17!’ Fourteen hours later, came an
update: ‘She did not die!’
For
others, there is tragedy. An appeal was launched for Marie and Mathias,
who were at the Bataclan. But on Saturday a friend tweeted: ‘The search
is finished. I have no words, only tears. Marie and Mathias both left
us.’
Those
missing, according to Twitter posts, include 12-year-old Lucie, a
15-year-old boy named Serkan and another girl described only as ‘young
and beautiful’.
One
desperate person says: ‘I’m searching for my brother and his friend.
They were in a bar near the Bataclan. My brother is called Florian, 16.
He is blond and has green eyes. His friend is Romain, 17. He has brown
hair and blue eyes. Please help us to find them.’
