The search continues to find the body of Delphine Jubillar in an area near Cagnac-les-Mines (Tarn), drowned in thick fog.
The vast excavations undertaken on Monday to find the body of Delphine Jubillar, who had been missing for more than a year in the Tarn, received support on Tuesday from a squadron of mobile gendarmes, in order to probe and comb an area near the house of the couple. The site, close to Cagnac-les-Mines and immersed in thick fog since the day before, is secured in order to keep onlookers and journalists interested in the evolution of this highly publicized case, where the husband Cédric Jubillar is the number one suspect. one, noted an AFP correspondent.

A team of soldiers from the Specialized Operational Searches (FOS) unit, called upon in this type of operation to search for buried or buried bodies, is also on site, as well as scientific experts from the Criminal Research Institute of the national gendarmerie (IRCGN), according to a source close to the investigation.

Located about two kilometers from the house of the missing nurse, this area is located below a farmhouse that burned down a few months ago. The site caught the attention after the statements of an inmate from a cell next to that of Cédric Jubillar, placed in solitary confinement at the Seysses remand center, near Toulouse.
The statements of a fellow prisoner
This man told investigators from the gendarmerie’s research section several weeks ago that the husband had told him that he had buried Delphine’s body there, also according to a source close to the investigation.
This hypothesis does not convince one of the lawyers for the relatives of the disappeared, Philippe Pressecq, for whom the plasterer painter “manipulates everyone from the start”. “We find ourselves in the aftermath of the provocations of Cédric Jubillar. He would have confessed this to an inmate he has known for three days while he denies constantly and for months and months, having suppressed his wife?, s asks the lawyer to AFP.
“It’s going to be pschitt. But the examining magistrates are faced with their responsibilities. If they don’t do this research, they will be blamed for it,” he said. Me Pressecq, however, welcomes the resumption of research on places already searched before the husband’s imprisonment on June 18. “Because we must not forget that Cédric Jubillar remained free for six months after the disappearance of his wife, and it is not unlikely to think that the body could have been moved”, underlines he.
“In any case, the file is progressing beyond the rantings of Cédric Jubillar”, he is convinced. Mobilizing a hundred people, these excavations will last several days, even several weeks, according to a source from the gendarmerie. Delphine Jubillar, 33, who worked as a nurse in a clinic in Albi, disappeared on the night of December 15 to 16, 2020. It was her husband, Cédric, now 34, who alerted the gendarmes .
Indicted for murder, he claims to be innocent and multiplies the requests for release. The last was rejected on Friday by the investigating chamber of the Toulouse Court of Appeal.
