Background
The Meuse is central to Liège's identity and daily life, threading through the city's neighbourhoods, quays and riverside nightlife. As with any major urban river, it periodically yields bodies, and identification and reconstruction of a person's final hours are painstaking, often protracted work handled by police and the prosecutor's office.
What to do
Anyone in the Liège area who knew Yvon Teise or has relevant information is being asked to contact the Belgian federal police.
Impact
Regional — Directly affects Liège and the surrounding province of Wallonia, where the investigation is being run and where potential witnesses are being sought. The public appeal is aimed squarely at the local population.
