'There was no indication the victim was kidnapped,' said senior police official Mohamad Mat Yusop.
The body of Nora Quoirin, a 15-year-old with learning difficulties, was discovered unclothed last year after a massive hunt through the rainforest but authorities said there was no sign of foul play.
"There was no indication the victim was kidnapped," he told the inquest in the city of Seremban, which is set to hear from some 64 witnesses, including the teen's parents. Ahead of the inquest, the teen's parents Meabh and Sebastien Quoirin described it as"a crucial element in the fight for truth and justice for Nora".
