Monique Olivier, ex-wife of Michel Fourniret, sentenced to life in three cases
Lydie Logé disappeared a few days before Christmas, on December 18, 1993, in her small village Orne, in Saint-Christophe-le-Jajolet. Aged 29, she was returning from shopping with a friend, the last person to have seen her alive. Lydie Logé was the mother of a seven-year-old boy, looked after by his father on the day of the incident.
Despite searches, his body was never found. But in 2019, fingerprint analyzes made it possible to reopen the investigation: traces of Lydie Logé’s DNA were found in the van of serial killer Michel Fourniret.
Monique Olivier taken to Orne this Tuesday
Questioned several times about this kidnapping, the“Ogre of the Ardennes” had made partial confessions in 2019, before his death in 2021. Only his ex-wife, Monique Olivier could provide the elements to unblock the affair, and find the body of Lydie Logé. The latter finally gave in, during questioning by the judge last May, reports RTL this Monday, January 20.
Monique Olivier has “ admitted that she was on the scene, which is a form of confession for me”confirmed to AFP the lawyer for the family of Lydie Logé, Me Corinne Herrmann. The ex-wife of Michel Fourniret gave several precise indications, and mentioned the attempted rape made by her husband on the young woman.
-While she is serving two life sentences at Fleury-Mérogis prison, Monique Olivier will be taken from the prison site this Tuesday and transported to Orne, “for research which should last at least three days”reports The Parisian.
In June 2023, Lydie Logé’s sisters launched a call for witnesses on RTL to try to obtain information on this disappearance. The family is now waiting for Monique Olivier “that it provides more details and allows Lydie’s body to be located”concludes Me Corinne Herrmann.
