Jean-Baptiste Talleu: Has anyone seen this man?

After the rape and murder of 15-year-old Scarlett Keeling, comes news that a 26-year-old French cyclist Jean-Baptiste Talleu who arrived in Mumbai from Dubai on December 4 has gone missing.

According to his family, Talleu is on a world tour. They are sure he landed in Mumbai since his bank records reveal two cash withdrawals on his credit card on December 5. He last spoke to his mother on December 2 from Dubai. After that, no news.

An e-birthday greeting sent to him on December 11 has gone unacknowledged. The family has lodged a missing person complaint with the Sahar police and is also in touch with the French consulate in Mumbai.
