In view of “the complexity of the case”, a judicial inquiry was opened to find the causes of Émile’s disappearance almost two weeks ago. Two investigating judges were seized.
A change that is not insignificant when the sweeps, orchestrated with unprecedented means in France, have yielded nothing.
If, at first, the prosecutor had declared that the opening of a judicial investigation was not topical, he finally changed his mind on Tuesday. In the case of little Émile, the legal route was opened in “search for the causes of a worrying disappearance”. “The fact that they are two judges means that it will be a priority for them”, explained Jacques Fombonne, general of the gendarmerie, former commander of the Orleans research section, to BFM TV.

For Gendarmerie General Jacques Fombonne, if a judicial investigation has been opened, it is also because “the investigation which can last several years. However, “no one at the prosecutor’s office can conduct a criminal investigation for several weeks, several months, or even several years, as is unfortunately often the case in the context of disappearances of children for which there is no conclusive evidence” , worried the general of the gendarmerie.
While the search to find little Emile, who disappeared last Saturday in the hamlet of HautVernet, entered a more technical phase, Jacques-Charles Fombonne, former commander of the national training center for the judicial police of the gendarmerie, was surprised already because these had not given anything so far…
“The crime scene is the whole village. We feel that this investigation has just switched from the track of the lost child to that of a possibly kidnapped child”, decrypts Jacques-Charles Fombonne, ex-commander of the national training center for the judicial police of the gendarmerie, for La Dépêche du Midi.
“The track of a sexual predator, in this place, where everyone knows each other, is of course studied, but it seems implausible,” said the former commander.

The hypothesis that the child could have been hit by a vehicle and his body hidden somewhere to hide the tragedy is also part of the tracks. But here too, it comes up against the configuration of the premises in this hamlet where everyone knows each other. The absence of traces or debris on the road does not allow, for the moment, to favor this hypothesis.
“The fact that the Saint-Hubert dogs whose flair is formidable have not found the child remains very enigmatic for me. Because these dogs always have very good results”, added Jacques-Charles Fombonne.
