RESEARCH – According to our information, new excavations were organized on Monday near the home of Cédric and Delphine Jubillar, in Cagnac-les-Mines (Tarn). They ended at the end of the afternoon, but could continue for several weeks.
Writing with Sarah-Lou Cohen-Bacri –
More than a year after the disappearance of Delphine Jubillar, the magistrates ordered new excavations. According to our information, a perimeter of about fifteen hectares was installed this Monday morning by the gendarmes around a farm located near the home of Cédric and Delphine Jubillar, in Cagnac-les-Mines in the Tarn. This farm has already been searched, but the soldiers found nothing.
These excavations were launched at the request of the magistrates and could continue for several weeks, the area being particularly rugged. They aim to find the body of Delphine, this mother who disappeared on the night of December 15 to 16, 2020. Mobilizing large numbers (at least a hundred soldiers, according to our information), this search was interrupted on Monday afternoon, before resuming on Tuesday.

The disappearance of Delphine Jubillar
The farm burned down last April
The farm in question is located at a place called Drignac, a few kilometers south of Cagnac-les-Mines, where the house of the Jubillar couple is located. On Thursday April 15, 2021, the farm of more than 200 m² was partly ravaged by flames for reasons that remain unknown.
At the time, Cédric Jubillar was not in prison. He has since been indicted for spousal murder and detained on June 18, 2021, seven months after the disappearance of his wife Delphine. The couple were going through a divorce.
A fellow prisoner of Cédric spoke to the gendarmes
And it was a fellow prisoner of Cédric Jubillar, a Corsican named Marco released from prison in the fall, who assured the gendarmes that the painter and plasterer would have told him that he had buried Delphine’s body in “a place that has already burned down”without further details, at a level “shallow”.
The fellow prisoner told investigators that Cédric Jubillar feared the arrival of winter, mentioning the risk that “the remains can reappear according to the vagaries of nature”. He would have added that Cédric would have confided that Séverine L., his new girlfriend, knew where his wife’s body was. He would have taken her to the scene for him”prove his love”. Cédric Jubillar would also have told his cell neighbor that he had benefited from the help of the eldest son of Séverine L, with whom he played poker.
