Overview
- Boris Poyer, a 30-year-old from Lyon, stopped responding to contacts on Saturday, July 11 while on holiday in Puerto de Malabrigo.
- Peruvian authorities opened a formal investigation and handed the file to the local division that handles human trafficking and missing-person cases, which is conducting active searches.
- Investigators found Poyer’s mobile phone in his hotel room and carried out routine on-site examinations, but officials say the circumstances of his disappearance remain unclear.
- French consular officials are involved, a missing-person report was filed in France, and Poyer’s parents planned to travel to Peru to join efforts on the ground.
- Authorities say no hypothesis is being privileged and the inquiry will continue until he is found, a development that has focused attention on safety and search response in small coastal tourist towns.
