The disappearance of 11-year-old Lyhanna in the Gers continued to dominate editorial agendas, but the story shifted from search operations to the suspect's judicial past. In the morning, BFMTV and France TV Info reported the opening of an administrative inquiry into the handling of a prior rape complaint against Jérôme Barella. By afternoon, a press conference by the Auch prosecutor revealed three old procedures and a new rape complaint filed that morning. Le Figaro and Le Parisien detailed the suspect's predatory profile, while the mayor of Fleurance denounced decades of justice budget cuts. In foreign news, Ukrainian drones struck Saint-Pétersbourg ahead of an economic forum, and Trump claimed US-Iran talks could conclude this weekend, though Iran's foreign minister denied progress. The US House voted to end the war against Iran.
