A Youtubeur who wanted to do his own investigation around the murder of little Grégory Villemin has received death threats. As our colleagues from the Republican East report, he is the target of a crow who would not appreciate him sticking his nose in this affair.
It’s a news item that hit the headlines in 1984 and still continues to fascinate many people. During this year, the lifeless body of Grégory Villeminaged 4, was found in Vologne, a river in the Vosges. He was put in a garbage bag, his feet, hands and head bound by cords and a woolen hat pulled down over his face. Since, the investigation is trying to determine who is at the origin of this tragedy. While the investigators do not seem to be able to disentangle the true from the false, amateurs redo the survey. This is the case of Dan Tanna, a 49-year-old Youtuber, who does not hesitate to share his personal convictions on this case. Only, it does not seem to please everyone. Thus, on August 31, 2022, he received death threats in a handwritten letter to his home. “You shit defending a child kidnapper, aren’t you ashamed?!“, can we read in the first words of the letter.
As reported by our colleagues fromEast Republicanhe filed a complaint against X.”We’re going to hit you like Villemin in Laroche!!!“, he could still receive as a threat. Very harsh words written with red and in handwriting. Like the letter from the crow in the case of little Grégory who claims his assassination. “Right in the chest, we’ll put it on you!“, is also written. Only, Dan Tanna assures that he is not the only one to be the victim of threats concerning this affair. He shared a “clan war” which would currently reign on the Internet around the various protagonists of this tragedy of October 16, 1984.
Dan Tanna was shocked to receive such a violent letter
On the back of the letter, Dan Tanna’s crow is said to have signed two names in the senders field. “These are two people I know, and I know it can’t be from them“, indicated Dan Tanna. “This recalls the letters of the Grégory affair because the crow directed suspicion a little towards Jacky Villemin (Jean-Marie’s brother). And there, in a much less subtle way, we try to direct suspicion towards other enthusiasts of the case that I know a little bit. The person who sent me the letter maybe imagined that I was going to turn against them.”
If Dan Tanna filed a complaint, it is because he claims to have been very shocked by this letter. “I was very shocked by the words, and also, by the fact of receiving it in my mailbox“, laments this collector of old newspapers. “Yes, I expected to receive threats. I had already received some, intimidation too. I know my positions are not consensual, but that does not justify death threats“, he continued. Justice will now have to shed light on the sidelines of the case of little Grégory Villemin.
