The documentary entitled Doctor Godard The Man Who Wanted to Quit Everything and broadcast on TF1 gives details about this case. In the episode of March 26, it is a fateful testimony which is mentioned but this one could not be exploited in time.
What happened to the Godard family? At the beginning of September 1999, Doctor Yves Godard and his two children, Camille and Marius, aged 6 and 4, disappeared at sea. While they were on board a sailboat, rented from the marina of Saint-Malo , they no longer gave any sign of life. A few days later, it’s a large amount of blood which was discovered in the family combi and this gave rise to a search of the Godard home. One of the most mysterious news items of recent years and which was the subject of a documentary broadcast on TF1. In the fourth episode, available since this Sunday, March 26, the investigators mentioned a fateful testimony. “I remain convinced that someone was in charge of making Yves and the children disappear, but I have no proof.“, began Thierry Lezeau, director of investigation. “That’s my feeling“, he continued before referring to his other colleagues, who took over. “I know that they did not find any elements, any more than we allowed them to go and see this nebula, to go and dig in these people“, he specified. Did this nebula kill Yves Godard?
This is a case that still remains a real mystery. In 2012, after 13 years of investigation, justice again pronounced a dismissal. As the voice-over of the documentary recalls, the trail of Doctor Godard was “extended north of Scotland. However, this did not make it possible to provide answers, in particular since the “Scottish police had kept other testimonies which unfortunately could not be used in time”. A discovery that has been made”much later” and which therefore had to be forgotten. These unexploited testimonies would perhaps have made it possible to learn more. “We could have identified another place or a port through which Yves Godard passed“, can we hear. “It was perhaps a track to finally understand the secret plan of the man who wanted to leave everything“, is it specified then. As the documentary recalls, the track of a nebula was put forward since several bank accounts had been opened for Doctor Godard. If the latter was eliminated because he was becoming disturbing, why was his wife too?
Godard family: have the bodies of the victims been found?
On September 12, 1999, the investigators learned that the blood found in the house in Pont-de-Juvigny, which belonged to the family, was indeed that of Marie-France Godard. If the mother of the family was killed in her home, His body has never been found. In addition, justice has never been able to prove that Yves Godard is the cause of his death since the latter was also missing. In June 2000, it was Camille’s skull that was fished out by a shellfish in the bay of Saint-Brieuc, off Erquy. Six years later, fishermen come to the surface a tibia and a femur, identified as belonging to Yves Godard. The body of little Marius, on the other hand, was never found.
