PARIS — A French prosecutor opened a formal kidnapping investigation Saturday in the disappearance of a 9-year-old girl who went missing from a wedding celebration last weekend. Two men, both 34, were released without charges Friday night after being questioned, Becuywe said. Hundreds of volunteers were helping search Saturday for the girl, who has been identified only by the first name Maelys.
