Cédric Jubillar is indicted for intentional homicide on his wife Delphine née Aussaguel. Prosecutor Dominique Alzeari gave the account of the night of the disappearance, from December 15 to 16, 2020.
The disappearance of the young nurse and mother Delphine Aussaguel wife Jubillar dates back to December 2020. After numerous police and citizen beatings, a thorough investigation, still no trace of Delphine. Her husband Cédric Jubillar was indicted for intentional homicide. On Friday, June 16, 2021, the Toulouse prosecutor Dominique Alzeari delivered, among other things, recent and important elements concerning the night of Delphine’s disappearance. The noose seems to be tightening around the one who continues to deny any involvement in his wife’s disappearance. From the outset, this disappearance is described as worrying by the prosecution: it seemed “abnormal” that a young woman “disappears in December in full confinement with a phone without a charger, without any personal effects, without her glasses which she needs” explains the prosecutor, who specifies that Delphine was afraid of the dark. The thesis of the fall and the accident are also quickly evacuated by the investigators, as are those of suicide or voluntary departure. “A nurse who loved her job” according to his colleagues, adored his family and his children, had no reason to disappear. She also had plans to move in with another man and move out of the house. She had already bought some furniture, so it was “a project of new life which was close to his heart” explains Dominique Alzeari. Her lover is for his part exonerated by a solid alibi on the night of December 15 to 16, 2020.

“Scalable explanations”
Put in police custody on June 16, 2021, the versions of the facts given by the husband Jubillar sometimes contradict each other. The couple were in the process of breaking up. If Cédric speaks of a cordial separation, the witnesses evoke on the contrary numerous and recurring conflicts. The man tries to win back his wife, while keeping a close watch on her: geolocation, monitoring of his bank accounts.
The evening of the facts, the gendarmes are arrested by the fact that Cédric Jubillar calls the gendarmerie very quickly after the supposed disappearance: 16 minutes. This is all the more astonishing that in August 2020, he had simply called friends when Delphine had slept elsewhere without warning him.
When the gendarmes arrive, they find Cédric Jubillar busy washing the sheets on Delphine Jubillar’s bed (the couple were in separate rooms). He explains that the dogs have soiled the comforter. Delphine’s vehicle, of which he gives the keys to the gendarmes, is still filled with traces of condensation. Neighbors will also indicate that it does not park in the usual direction. When the gendarmes arrived that night, CJ’s pedometer showed only 40 steps. When he did the research with the gendarmes, this count then rose to more than 300 paces.
A violent argument and screams
Cedric Jubillar continues to maintain that there were no arguments that evening. However the investigators point out that during his hearing, the 6-year-old son would have heard while going to bed around 9 p.m. a violent argument between the parents. The same night, two neighbors hear strident cries of distress which call out to them, which disappear and stop; they don’t think of calling the gendarmes. Cédric Jubillar does not give a credible answer to these assertions. Finally, the investigation shows that the couple’s dogs spent the evening barking violently in the garden.
Cédric Jubillar, who quickly spoke of his wife in the past tense, will have to explain himself to the investigating judges. “A person who contradicts himself is not a burden, a person who defends himself can come back to facts, and speak in the presence of his lawyer” adds the prosecutor, who recalls the presumption of innocence.
