We recently had the mystery disappearance of Nicola Bulley in the UK that got huge media attention because everyone was playing detective; we've had similar media frenzy over the Chilean miners, the Thai footballers in the cave, the RAF lad who disappeared on a night out (it's thought he climbed into an industrial bin)...

France are the world leaders for civil disobedience. Vive la révolution etc. etc.
