While the genetic analysis report of the recently discovered bones remains pending, the Aix-en-Provence prosecutor, Jean-Luc Blachon, provided clarification on the development of the investigation. Disappeared on July 8, 2023, little Émile, aged only two and a half years old, was untraceable for almost nine months. It was only last March that a hiker made the tragic discovery of her bones near the hamlet of Haut-Vernet. Although the case remains shrouded in mystery and the circumstances of his death remain unclear, the prosecutor is not ruling out any leads in this delicate investigation. Jean-Luc Blachon, who had not spoken since April, declared during an interview with BFMTV: "The investigation remains ongoing, as do the genetic expertise, and the investigating judges are continuing their technical analyzes . The criminal hypothesis remains plausible." These words resonate as a call for vigilance, while everyone hopes that the truth will eventually emerge. According to several sources close to the case, the scientists responsible for the analyzes are working to determine the presence of DNA on the bones found. If little Émile's DNA is detected, it would strengthen the criminal theory in this disturbing case. The team led by Professor Christian Doutremepuich should also be able to establish whether the bones were moved, whether intentionally or not, after the death, or whether they had been present at the scene since the tragic death. of the child. Since the discovery of the bones, little information has filtered out. However, the magistrate reveals the existence of “new elements” in this complex case. At the microphone of BFMTV, the prosecutor of Aix-en-Provence, Jean-Luc Blachon, announced that new hearings had been carried out and that others were planned in the days to come. He also clarified that at this stage, no police custody had been ordered, thus emphasizing that “this is a case which continues to be very active.” Investigations continue, and the hope of shedding light on this matter remains intact.
