Paris, France (CNN) -- The body of a retired restaurateur who's been missing for two years has been found in a freezer in the French city of Lyon, police there told CNN Wednesday. The corpse of Jean-Francois Poinard, 71, was discovered Tuesday in the apartment he had shared with a girlfriend in Lyon, regarded as the culinary capital of France. Police said an autopsy will be conducted. The French newspaper Le Monde cited a police source as saying the man's girlfriend, 51, has been taken into custody in connection with the case. Police said the body was found after a tip from a close family member of Poinard, who was considered one of Lyon's top chefs in the 1970s and 80s. CNN's Stephanie Halasz contributed to this report.
