They are “working hard” to understand what happened to little Émile, 2 and a half years old, whose bones were found in a forest in Haut-Vernet (Alpes-de-Haute-Provence) last March. The boy disappeared from this mountain town in July 2023, mobilizing “20 investigators permanently”, said the boss of the gendarmerie this Wednesday morning on RTL.
According to the director general of the gendarmerie Hubert Bonneau, this “complex file” requires investigators to wait for “a lot of expertise currently carried out at the IRCGN, (Criminal Research Institute of the National Gendarmerie), which compares their results, studies them “. Analyzes are being carried out in particular on the clothes discovered by a walker near Émile's little skeleton, the public prosecutor explained in September.
“We are not ruling out anything in this case,” adds General Bonneau, whose investigators are working hard to “discover the truth so that the families can mourn.”

Little Émile disappeared on July 8, 2023, while he was spending the holidays with his grandparents in Haut-Vernet. He was then two and a half years old. Despite significant research resources, his trace was not found until the end of last March when some of his bones were discovered by a walker not far from the place of his disappearance.
