new twist in the investigation, two DNA traces found

According to information revealed by RTL this Friday, November 29, two human DNA traces were found during analyzes of the bones and clothing of Émile, who disappeared on July 8, 2023.

Certain gray areas surrounding the disappearance of Emile S, who disappeared on July 8, 2023, are beginning to become clearer. This Friday, November 29, new information was revealed by RTL. Indeed, two human DNA traces were found during analyzes of Émile’s bones and clothing, carried out by the Bordeaux forensic hematology laboratory.

However, as revealed by RTL, the information of which was confirmed by Le Figaroso-called “degraded” traces of DNA. In other words, they may not be usable. “The more the DNA found is degraded, the fewer of these different characteristics we find and the greater the possibilities of matches with other DNA,” our colleagues then detail. Near BFMTV, a magistrate, whose identity has not been revealed, preferred to remain cautious and confided last October that the discovery of DNA does not mean that a culprit has been identified. General François Daoust, former director of the National Gendarmerie Research Institute (IRCGN), for his part, indicated that “there will necessarily be a need for interpretation. If DNA is found, is it in significant quantity or are there one or two cells? If it is in significant quantity, it is because we have a strong action from the person who deposited the DNA. Some cells, on the other hand, can be a transfer. So you have to be very careful because DNA is very volatile.”

Death of Emile: all the hypotheses studied to elucidate the case

In an interview with RTL this Thursday, November 28, Hubert Bonneau, director general of the French National Gendarmerie, assured that all hypotheses, whether accidental or criminal, are now being studied. “We are not ruling out anything in this matter. We are dealing with a news item, but behind it, there are families. So the work of the gendarmes is like the case of young Lina. Our job is also to discover the truth so that families can mourn. It is a duty we have towards families. That’s the most important thing.” he explained.
