Who killed Christiane Commeau? Seventeen years after the disappearance of this mother near Lyon, the investigation will join the pole dedicated to “cold cases”, at the Nanterre prosecutor’s office. Excellent news for the family of the victim, who believes that too many serious leads have so far been dismissed.
It has now been more than 15 years since Christiane Commeau was killed by two bullets in the head, without anyone knowing who blamed this mother, who was returning home after shopping. His body was found in a wood of Ain in 2004. The investigation, closed in 2015, will join the pole dedicated to “cold cases”, unsolved cases, at the Nanterre prosecutor’s office. Another chance to solve this murder?
Who wanted Christiane Commeau?
The investigators have never pierced the mystery of the disappearance of Christiane Commeau. This 54-year-old woman disappeared in front of her garage on her way home from shopping and for four months, radio silence. Until his body was found in a wood in the department of Ain, with two bullets in the head. Nothing allowed to know who wanted this mother or if she was the victim of a passing killer. But for his family and their lawyer, not all leads have been properly investigated.
“That of a man whose name I will not mention, but who had already been implicated in murder cases and whose only alibi ultimately rested on a telephone line which placed him outside the crime zone at the “hour of the crime by the investigators. Which is a rather dangerous reasoning. A telephone, we can leave it and leads like that, very serious, were dismissed too quickly, in our opinion”, confides Sylvain Cormier, the lawyer of the family at the microphone of Europe 1.
A relief for the family of Christiane Commeau
The arrival of the case at the pole dedicated to unsolved cases will first allow to have a fresh look at the file taken in hand by a specialized investigating judge. New acts of investigation may also be made. A real relief for the family of Christiane Commeau, who had requested it.
