Why Would She Leave Without Her Purse?

How horribly sad, how dreadfully miserable to contemplate, that a young girl of seventeen can have her life snuffed out in a circumstance of happenstance and a sinister lack of moral responsibility on the part of a stranger, and not be missed for three days. It's difficult to believe that any young girl could be living in such emotionally straitened circumstances.

Living not with a supportive and loving family, but with acquaintances who believe they know her habits and thus simply accept that she is absent, while yet still somewhat concerned and wondering...

The mystery regarding her absence was cleared up when her body was found in a ditch. In a place where people normally take daily walks in the countryside, everyone seemingly passing by without realizing she was there, hidden by tall grasses. Those tall grasses hid her lifeless, bruised body.

It is speculated that the force of impact, a frail human body hit by a speeding motor vehicle, threw her bodily into the ditch. The driver of the vehicle evidently made no effort to determine what or who it was they'd hit. The driver of the vehicle simply accelerated and sped on, oblivious to responsibility.

She might have been breathing and if swift action had been taken, she might have been saved. Before dying, it would have been compassionate to comfort her in her agony. But her life ebbed away while she lay in that ditch. A ditch that was, in fact, not very far from the house of the acquaintance where she had been staying.

She had been known to enjoy taking long solitary walks in the evening hours. As, presumably, many other nearby residents did, also. She would never have known that this would be her last walk. Although she didn't return to the house, hadn't taken anything with her, including a purse which had been left behind, it hadn't occurred, evidently, to anyone to search for her.

"It wasn't that unusual for (Godin) to do that, but what tickles her is that (Godin's) purse was still home. Why would she leave (for three days) without her purse?" That is the question put forward by Manuel Lacasse, who had discovered the girl's body while cutting grass on his property, beside the ditch.

Coincidentally he is the ex-husband of the young woman with whom Jessica Godin was temporarily living. It was stated that she had on previous occasions absented herself for days at a stretch. If that's not too much of a stretch, how about casual unconcern for the whereabouts of a 17-year-old girl?

Clearly, it is not a very good idea to walk, as Jessica Godin did, along a lonely stretch of road in the town of Fournier. Surely someone has an aching heart for the loss of this young girl?
