Nearly twenty-two years after the disappearance of Florence Bloise, investigations have been relaunched. The Versailles research section and the Nanterre cold cases center have been broadcasting a call for witnesses since October 4, 2024, reports RTL. The announcement was relayed by the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Justice. This mother, aged 39 at the time, disappeared on the night of 1is February 2003, in Magny-les-Hameaux in Yvelines.
At 6 p.m. that day, Florence Bloise left her home in the snow after an argument with her husband, with items slipped into her backpack: pajamas, a hairbrush, a toothbrush, her medication and a book, indicate our colleagues. This is what her husband, François Bloise, said when he contacted his in-laws the same evening, to ask them if they had news of their daughter. This mother of three children aged 5, 8 and 9 planned to “take stock with herself”, and had promised to join her cherubs at mass the next morning. But her loved ones never saw her again.
Voluntary disappearance, Michel Fourniret… Several possible avenues
Sunday February 2, the police were therefore alerted. Several hypotheses are mentioned, including voluntary disappearance, since Florence Bloise, painter, was considered depressed and their relationship was failing. Then an investigation into a worrying disappearance, entrusted to the Versailles research section, was opened four months later.
“The links with Fourniret are still among the areas of work”
Florence Bloise's father, Hubert Desobry, thinks that there could be a link between the disappearance of his daughter and that of Estelle Mouzin, two weeks earlier in Guermantes, which is located around sixty kilometers from his town. Friday August 14, 2015, lawyers for the Bloise family called for investigations into Michel Fourniret. The serial killer, who was finally arrested in June 2003 in Belgium, admitted to having kidnapped the nine-year-old girl. The Bloise case was entrusted to the cold cases pole in Nanterre, in March 2022. “The links with Fourniret are still among the areas of work”, confirms Me Corinne Herrmann, lawyer for Florence Bloise’s relatives, in an interview granted to “ Parisian.” “They are essentially based on the Estelle Mouzin affair, whose kidnapping Michel Fourniret admitted in January 2003, in Guermantes. There is this geographical proximity between this town of Seine-et-Marne and the home of Florence Bloise, 55 km away. We also know that Michel Fourniret had ties to Clairefontaine (Yvelines). And that the Bloises had welcomed Polish pilgrims, like the family of Estelle Mouzin at the same time,” she adds.
“What we want today is to find our body”
For her part, Odile Desbory, one of Florence's sisters, expressed herself thus, in the columns of the daily: “I am not incriminating anyone, but there is definitely someone who knows something. My sister must have had a destination that evening. We know that Florence is dead. She would never have abandoned her children, two daughters and a son who were everything to her. What we want today is to find our body. And, if possible, understand what happened. My sister Sophie is in the same state as me. We no longer know what to say, what to think,” she adds.
