Woman Stuck in Elevator for 3 Days


Dec 29, 6:57 AM (ET)


PARIS (AP) - A 19-year-old woman who disappeared was found stuck in an elevator in a suburban Paris housing project for three days, the French press reported Friday.

The daily Le Figaro described the woman, identified only as Safiatou, as vulnerable because she had "problems of confusion." It said she was found dehydrated but alive on Dec. 22.

According to newspaper and television accounts, Safiatou's father had contacted the building concierge Dec. 19 to say his daughter could be stuck in a broken elevator. No alarm went off and the concierge and a repairman found no one when they checked, Le Figaro reported, citing a source close to the investigation.

The technician began repair work the following day. On Dec. 22, the repairman returned to complete the job and heard a soft cry, Le Figaro reported.

On Wednesday, the girl's father, who had advised police of his daughter's disappearance, filed a complaint for non-assistance to a person in danger - a crime in France - according to Le Figaro.

Several elevators in the housing project had recently been renovated but not the one in question, according to the news reports. They said that it was unclear why Safiatou did not cry out for help.


push the button, Frank

Hmmm that's weird. The cynic in me thinks she ran off to see her boyfriend and then crawled back in the elevator.

I think something was wrong with her...well besides being French...

That explains a lot .. being of simple mind, those types tend to be quiet. I've worked with the Mentally Handicapped and the majority of the time, they are very quiet.

Three days is a long time, good to hear she is recovering.

That poor girl.

Another reason to hate elevators.

3 days stuck in an elevator would be a mini-vacation for me..

I wonder if she was chlostraphobic...

if she was, it didn't seem to bother her too awful much...

another reason why i always take the stairs.

haha made me laugh

feel sorry for her but she must have something wrong with her if she never called for help

good shes ok though

Why did it take them 3 days to find her in the elevator?

Was no-one looking for her where she was last seen?

Hmmmmmm

Pretty dumb though?
Has she not seen James bond? remove the ceiling panels and shimmy up the cables before the lift starts moving and then you make a meraculous jump to safety at the last minute!

Wow! She must have been really confused to sit in an elevator for three days and not call for help.
It's good to know she got out okay.

HAHAHA. Funny.

well obviously she couldn't reach for the call button in front of her when she had her hands up in surrender.

If she couldn't even call for help, what was she doing by herself in an elevator?

Having a jolly ol' time apparently

I get the joke. HAHAHA!

ROFLMAO!!

i was once stuck in an elevator for 2.5 hours.

lol but yeah she must have some kind of mental impairment poor girl





*puts Nyx in elevator*

Quite obviously we dont think too much of this girl eh?

That is very odd.
