Disappearance of Emile: An unusual absence on D-Day changed everything, a resident of Haut-Vernet is convinced

The battle is underway on the Haut-Vernet side. Investigators still hope to find little Emile, missing since Saturday July 8, 2023. To do this, and since no lead seems to be favored at the moment, a “situation” was ordered by the courts on Thursday March 28, 2024. It began around 10:20 a.m., according to information from the newspaper Nice morningand aims to “detect contradictions or inconsistencies in each person’s statements“.

This scenario – which is not a reconstruction, since no culprit is named – brought together a fairly extraordinary crowd. 17 people were summoned, including Emile’s grandparents, his parents, but also his aunts and uncles, some of whom are minors, two investigating judges, investigators and the head of the Marseille Research Section. Nearly a hundred gendarmes were also mobilized, drones flew over the surrounding area and a gendarmerie roadblock was set up.

According to newspaper information Nice morning, a judge would lean more towards the family thesis, that is to say that Emile’s death would have been caused by a domestic accident. The other judge would believe more in the track”agricultural“, an accident involving a machine. A resident of Haut-Vernet, who was not in the area the day of Emile’s disappearance, has her own version of the facts.

For her, the culprit must be someone who knows the village very well. “It happened between the wash house and the house, it can only be someone who frequented the place“, she explains to journalists from Nice morning. She regrets, of course, the absence, on Saturday July 8, 2023, of the dog Snow, who has the habit of barking as soon as someone passes. “Of course, she would have barked, she does it systematically when she doesn’t know“, she emphasizes. And the passage of a vehicle, which could have knocked down Emile on the side of the road? “He would have been heard”, she assures. “But, at the same time, it was so hot that everyone was cooped up in their homes…“The mystery is still relevant today.
