The excavations to find the body of Estelle Mouzin in the Ardennes ended in an untenable mystery for the relatives of the little girl who disappeared in 2003.
The excavations in the Ardennes to find the body of Estelle Mouzin, ended this Thursday, April 29, 2021, at the beginning of the afternoon, according to a source close to Franceinfo. Despite the statements of Monique Olivier, ex-wife of Michel Fourniret, no trace of the little girl, kidnapped in 2003 on the way to school in Guermantes (Seine-et-Marne), has been discovered. For Me Didier Seban, lawyer for Estelle’s father, Éric Mouzin, “the investigation is from a certain point of view over today”. The lawyer also tells Franceinfo he “would like to salute the immense work of the judge [Sabine Kheris, juge d’instruction chargée du dossier, ndlr] and investigators “. Before adding: “I regret that despite the statements of Monique Olivier, who recognized elements on the spot, she was unable to say whether to look to the right or to the left.”
At the beginning of April 2021, Monique Olivier had indeed recognized her participation in the kidnapping of the girl and told the investigators to have left Michel Fourniret on the path of a wood 4 km from Ville-sur- Lumes to make Estelle’s body disappear. Still according to her, her ex-husband had sequestered the little girl in a house belonging to her sister.
“She did not see Michel Fourniret bury Estelle’s body. She waited for him in the car at the end of this forest road. She says he left for about a quarter of an hour or twenty minutes. We were hoping give this little girl back to her daddy “, declares Me Seban.

“Faced with the horror, I want, that’s all. In this case we went through a number of particularly trying stages”, Eric Mouzin said to the Sunday newspaper April 17, 2021. “For me, for my family, you have to go on living, really. I have four children at home, those of the woman I married in 2008. I had no other child after Estelle. With them, who are now young adults, we share the concerns, at this time about the health crisis and its consequences, the joys, but also, we must answer their questions on the progress of the investigation “.
Michel Fourniret, called “The ogre of the Ardennes”, was sentenced in 2018 to life imprisonment for the murders of seven young women or teenagers between 1987 and 2001. It was not until March 2020 that he admitted his responsibility in the disappearance of Estelle Mouzin.
