Nine years after the disappearance of Anne-Cécile Pinel, her parents announced that they had made an unprecedented request concerning the progress of the investigation, as reported by RMC Crimes, Sunday January 15.
On July 21, 2014, Anne-Cécile Pinel, a 23-year-old young woman, suddenly disappears while she was at an electronic music festival in Croatia. Very quickly, his disappearance was reported, but the investigation is progressing very slowly. “Once they started the proceedings, in mid-September 2014, they implied that if anything was found, it would be found by walkers.” related the father of the young girl for RMC Crimes.
Three and a half years after the death of Anne-Cécile Pinel, his body is finally found by a group of hunters. If Croatian investigators determine that the victim received a blow to the headthey eventually conclude that she would be died by accident, after climbing a pylon. An unlikely version for his relatives, since his blood was found in his van and his belongings discovered in a house located opposite his body.
The Cold Case division could take over Anne-Cécile Pinel’s file
Five years after the discovery of the remains of their daughter, Michel and Ghislaine Pinel still hope to find out what really happened to her. In effect, the file has been closed in Croatia and they have the impression that the French authorities have neglected the investigation. “We did not complete the investigation. We are left with questions” said Michel Pinel. In total, three non-places have already been pronounced and then canceled after the appeal by the parents of Anne-Cécile Pinel.
Nevertheless, a new hope anime them today, they asked the Cold Case pole of Nanterre to take over the business. “Anne-Cécile’s file brings together all the elements to be received as a Cold Case. Nanterre judges are trained for this type of investigation, they have the means and the opportunity to go to Croatia and see with their Croatian counterparts what happened“explained the father of the young woman. A new perspective which could finally shed light on this affair.
