Missing since July 8, Emile is described as a “resourceful” child. For the mayor of the commune of Vernet, François Balique, Émile is a “good walker”. According to the gendarmes, the boy with the dandelion behind his ear had the habit of “following the butterflies” and wandering around the fifteen houses in the hamlet.

The morning the child disappeared, Dédé, a resident of the small village of Haut-Vernet, said he saw him walking in the area. And nothing suggested the drama that was to follow… “It was a few hours before he disappeared,” says Dédé. “It was a little child in a diaper who was frolicking, like many of us have seen before. Besides, he wasn’t alone that day, he was with his aunts and uncles. It’s a big family, and good people. They are very religious and practicing, with an exemplary education…”
A large family that lives almost self-sufficiently
Other inhabitants of the village confirm this description of Emile’s family. “They are very religious, very discreet. They lived a little self-sufficiently,” says a neighbor. “We don’t really have any exchanges with them,” continues another local resident. “We only know them by sight, they are very discreet…”

Although they do not live in Haut-Vernet, the members of this family are regulars in the area. Indeed, the small family had made it a habit to spend their vacations in this village, as another resident of the hamlet recounts. “They have been coming here on vacation for more than twenty years and traveling by minibus. Every year they organize a religiously inspired classical music concert at the village church. But, in reality, we don’t know them well, the grandparents have eleven children and mostly keep to themselves. »

A description of the toddler’s maternal family which nevertheless contrasts with the profile of Colomban, the child’s father…
Who is Colomban S., the father of little Emile?
Originally from Yvelines, Colomban S. has a rather dark past. The 26-year-old father is a former member of Action Française. An engineer by training, he was also a very active activist within the small group Bastion social Marseille, a far-right association which received a letter of dissolution in 2019.
But, before the disappearance of the small group, Colomban was called to appear before the Aix-en-Provence criminal court, in 2018, for an alleged attack on people of foreign origin. However, he was acquitted in this case. He then got involved in politics, since he was, during the 2021 regional elections, on an electoral list in support of Eric Zemmour, called “Zou the list that rids you of the system. »
