“According to the information collected, Professor Christian Doutremepuich, considered ‘the pope’ of DNA in France, has been working on these analyzes for several days now. Monday January 20, they were still not finished“, indicates the French media. During a previous analysis carried out on Emile’s bones and clothes, this same laboratory would have succeeded in isolating the trace of “at least one DNA foreign to that of the family”, although the Aix-en-Provence criminal center has never confirmed the information.
Would this new phase be a turning point in the investigation? “Nothing changes“, indicates a source close to the investigations to BFM. “If there were decisive things, we would have heavy operational phases. This is not the case. The investigators are always checking, cross-checking, over-checking. There are hypotheses that are ruled out and those that are explored further. The gendarmes continue to investigate by requesting other expertise, including this laboratory, it is normal.”
