This January 20, 2025, Monique Olivier admitted to having played a role in the unexplained disappearance of Lydie Loge in 1993 in Orne. We summarize this terrible affair for you.
Michel Fourniret’s wife seems to join her husband in his late confession. The Ogre of the Ardennes had confided to having killed Lydie Logé, 29, in Orne, before dying in 2021. This Monday, Monique Olivier also admitted sordid facts.
She explained to investigators that she had participated in the kidnapping and murder of the young woman. The victim’s DNA was found in the van used by the couple for criminal purposes.
Kidnapping
On December 18, 1993 in Saint-Christophe-le-Jajolet, Lydie Logé, 29, vanished. Married but separated, the young woman is the mother of a 7-year-old child, Julien. It was for him that that day, she went to do some Christmas shopping, which earned her the nickname “disappeared from the Christmas tree”.
The theory of voluntary disappearance was quickly dismissed. The case lacks facts, witnesses, and becomes a cold case.
-Partial confessions
Until 2018. Traces of DNA belonging to Lydie Logé were found in Michel Fourniret’s van, who was then the subject of an investigation for a series of murders and rapes.
A photo of Lydie Logé is then shown to the Ogre des Ardennes. He admits half-heartedly: “His face tells me something. I don’t believe it could be anyone other than me who ended his life journey,” cite The Parisian. The mother could be Michel Fourniret’s 12th victim.
Monique Olivier admits
Four years after the death of Michel Fourniret, his wife Monique Olivier, still indicted in the Lydie Logé affair, confessed to having participated in the kidnapping and murder of the young woman.
It remains to confirm this confession, and to determine to what extent she would have participated in this crime.
