Lydie Logé’s sisters and family have been waiting to know for more than thirty years. Find out why the 29-year-old young woman suddenly disappeared a few days before Christmas, on December 18, 1993. Find out if serial killer Michel Fourniret, who made a partial confession in 2019 before his death in 2021, was indeed responsible for the the kidnapping and death of Lydie, whose body was never found.
It is now a certainty. According to information from RTL, the ex-wife of the killer Monique Olivier confessedduring an interrogation by the judge last May, his participation in the murder and kidnapping of the young woman in her small village of Orne, while she was returning from her Christmas shopping in Argentan. It has been several years since the ex-wife of the “Ogre of the Ardennes” was questioned about this other alleged crime of the couple by the Nanterre cold-case unit. This time, the septuagenarian gave precise instructions which places her at the scene of the events on December 18, 1993. She also detailed what the young woman had suffered.
Lydie Logé was then the mother of a 7-year-old boy, looked after by his father on the day of the incident.
According to our information, Monique Olivier admitted that the couple had kidnapped the young woman who had just returned home, a house located at the end of her village of Saint-Christophe le-Jajolet. After long hours of interrogation, the septuagenarian then detailed before the judge, Sabine Khéris, the attempted rape that Michel Fourniret had made her undergo, an attempt aborted due to the killer’s difficulty in having an erection. “She witnessed my incapacity”Michel Fourniret told investigators in 2019 before miming the way he had strangled the young mother. Monique Olivier confirmed the murder and the concealment of the bodyin which she acknowledges having participated.
These confessions crown the investigations which began in 2016 with the identification of Lydie Logé’s DNA on one of the elements found on the floor mat of Michel Fourniret’s vehicle, and kept in seals since 2003.
New discreet excavations
A transport to the site is planned this week, in the presence of Monique Olivier, with judge Sabine Khéris, in the hope that the suspect will give information on the place where the body was buried. This transport could last several days. According to our information, several excavation campaigns have already been discreetly carried out in recent monthsafter the call for witnesses launched by the Logé sisters on RTL in June 2023.
“Lydie Logé’s family is waiting for more than these confessions made by Monique Olivier, they are waiting for her to indicate the place where Lydie’s body was hidden,” Corinne Hermann, lawyer for the victim’s family, told RTL.
In this case, Michel Fourniret was indicted in December 2020 for “kidnapping and sequestration followed by death” but he is now deceased. Monique Olivier was then indicted in 2021 for complicity, but until now a trial remained uncertain without a confession from her part. It is now a very likely prospect.
-Monique Olivier has already been convicted of eleven murders and complicity to murder, twice serving life sentences.
Contacted by RTL, Monique Olivier’s lawyer, Me Richard Delgenes, did not wish to comment.
