Where was Agathe’s body found?
He was a walker who made the macabre discovery, according to the gendarmerie. The corpse “was in an undergrowth on the outskirts of research zones,” the public prosecutor in Poitiers, Cyril Lacombe on Monday.
The young woman’s body, an experienced runner, was outside her usual career.
A call for witnesses had been broadcast.

For a week, a hundred gendarmes had raised a large area of 100 km² where Agathe Hilairet used to run. They had been supported by a helicopter, dogs and a team of divers. In vain.
What are the tracks studied?
Did Agathe made a discomfort? Or a bad meeting? Did she commit suicide? No track is dismissed by the investigators. For the moment, the autopsy carried out on Monday “has not made it possible to determine the causes of the death,” said the prosecutor.
Heart stops may not detect during an autopsy, indicates a specialist in criminal identification at BFMTV. Especially in a weakened person, like Agathe Hilairet, a young woman who suffered from anorexia. But according to “Le Parisien”, the gendarmes of the Poitiers research section would be doubtful concerning this hypothesis. Why would the jogger have engaged in an undergrowth dismissed if she had been taken with a tiredness?
The idea of an assault is not excluded after a testimony evoking the presence of a “ladle” man in the Bois de la Brie, where the young woman used to run, says “Le Parisien”.
And now ?
Investigators must now wait for further analyzes carried out on Agathe’s body, such as the search for micro-lensions or DNA on its clothes, a toxicological analysis … details RTL.
“There will be analyzes related to the exact dating of death. For example, entomology, which uses larvae and colonies of insects, ”also explains David Galtier, the former director of the judicial police for the national gendarmerie, with Poitou.
But these analyzes and their results could take time, perhaps several weeks, made delicate by the time spent by the body outdoors. “The body has been able to undergo a large number of damage. He is in an open environment, nature, and therefore subject to bad weather, ”underlines David Galtier. “The more the body breaks down, the less elements there are,” said Perrine Rogiez-Thubert, police commander specializing in judicial identity, on BFMTV.
Investigators will also continue the hearings. More than 200 have already been made since April 10.
What are the reactions to Vivonne?
In Vivonne, where the jogger lived and her parents, it is stupor. A resident of this commune in Vienne evokes on BFMTV “a shock” by learning the news of the discovery of the body. “It is something here in Vivonne, in such a calm city, which we do not expect,” comments another.
“I hope it is not a murder,” a Vivonnois confides to RTL.
Some do not hide being afraid. “Before, I liked walking in the evening, now I don’t want to go running alone. And I do not let my little boy go to the bus stop which is less than 100 meters from our house, “says a resident on here Poitou.
