Investigators are making progress in the tragic case of little Emile thanks to the discovery of two DNA traces on his bones and his clothes. These clues raise new questions but call for caution.
Two partial human DNAs were identified on the clothes and bones of little Emile, as a source close to the investigation revealed to our colleagues at RTL France this Friday. These traces do not correspond to either the child or a member of his family. However, their low quantity and their degraded state complicate the analysis.
The caution of the investigators
Despite this discovery, investigators remain cautious. One of the hypotheses considered is that of contamination: the boy’s bones and clothes were handled several times, which could explain the presence of this foreign DNA.
This advance underlines the importance of scientific techniques in the investigation, but questions persist. Who are the owners of this DNA? And in what circumstances do they find themselves involved in this drama? Analyzes are continuing to lift the veil on these mysteries.
