Fifteen months after the disappearance of Émile in Le Vernet (Alpes-de-Haute-Provence), investigators continue to work to try to explain his death. Currently, they are on the DNA trail.
Three weeks ago, a professor submitted his expertise carried out on the bones and clothes of little Émile, a little child who disappeared in July 2023. Since then, still no comment from the Aix-en-Provence prosecutor’s office, reports BFM YOU SAY. “We cannot communicate on all the investigative actions we carry out because we carry out hundreds of them”justified a Source close to the file.
Concerning these investigative acts, much work is currently being carried out on DNA. “The work on clothing is important. It is important for investigation and biology”explained a Source who had access to the entire expert report. DNA foreign to the little boy’s family was discovered according to information from BFM DICI. From now on, “we have to take the DNA of others and make comparisons,” adds the same Source. It is the gendarmes of the Marseille Research Section (Bouches-du-Rhône) who are responsible for this work.
Around fifteen investigators mobilized
“Just because we find DNA doesn’t mean we find a culprit”tempers a magistrate. We will therefore have to be very careful after this possible discovery of DNA, specifying that it could be insignificant. The investigators’ priority is to compare the DNA. This work on DNA “is just a trivial act and has no meaning as such”says a Source who closely follows the work of investigators. For fifteen months and the disappearance of Émile, around fifteen investigators have been working day and night to try to explain his death.
