On October 16, 1984, Gregory Villemin was found dead, hand and foot bound by cords, in the cold waters of Vologne, a river in the Vosges. The Grégory Villemin affair quickly became very popular in the media and when an investigation was opened, no culprit has been identified to date. After a very difficult period, it would seem that Grégory’s parents managed to move forward despite the pain of this case. It was in Essonne, in the Paris region, that they rebuilt themselves. They gave birth to three children, named Julien, Emeline and Simon. According to information from Purepeoplepublished in September 2021, Julien is a father and manager of an optical shop. He is 36 years old and he is the eldest of the siblings. He is closely followed by Emeline, aged 31, a associate SVT professor. Simon, the youngest, was preparing for the CAPES in 2021. His goal was to become a sports instructor. The media then explains that the three children were not born at the time of the tragedy and, even if they did not know Grégory or the media whirlwind that followed following his death, Julien, Emeline and Simon have awareness of the tragedy experienced by Christine and Jean-Marie Villemin.
Grégory’s face has never been forgotten. For more than thirty-eight years, the Grégory Villemin affairalso called “affair of little Grégory“, knows various twists and turns that continue to raise the hope that one day, the culprit will be found.

Despite the passage of time, the journalist revealed that Grégory’s parents have not never lost hope of finding out what really happened to him. Retired, Jean-Marie Villemin would spend most of his time “the study of the file“, it was indicated. Last August, it was the couple’s lawyer who spoke in the columns of Gala. She had thus explained that Grégory’s father knew the file very well. “He is a perfectly intelligent boy who ended up managing his company before retiring and who can now devote more time to this matter which he knows perfectly well“said Maître Marie-Christine Chastant-Morand. Will the Villemins get answers one day? It was Christine Blaise, Bernard Laroche and Murielle BOlle who had been indicted and then heard several times by the investigators.
Grégory case: what did the letter sent to his parents the day after his death say?
The Grégory Villemin affair is a mystery that has shaken the whole of France. It is still the subject of series or documentaries to this day. In the 1:15 p.m. broadcast on Sunday, the journalist recalled that the murder of the little boy was “doubly claimedby a phone call, but also by a letter sent directly to Grégory’s parents the next day”. Present at the time of the events, it was Colonel Étienne Sesmat, former director of investigation of the gendarmerie of Épinal, who recalled what was written in the letter: “I hope you die of grief, chief. It’s not your money that can give you back your son. This is my revenge. Poor bastard”. Was revenge the main motivation? “It’s all in there, the motive is there. We realize that it is the success of Jean-Marie that pushes someone to kill Gregory, to get revenge for something”, he concluded.
