“Little Emile has not been found,” began Rémy Avon in front of the press, for a point on the third day of the toddler’s disappearance, and “we have no clues, no information, no element which can help us to understand this disappearance”, conceded the magistrate, adding that if he had been lost, a hypothesis less and less probable, his vital prognosis would undoubtedly be “very committed”.
A hamlet closed for the search for little Emile: “We don’t stop the search, we don’t lose hope”
After the beats on Sunday and Monday, the investigation was tightened on Tuesday in the town of Haut-Vernet and its 25 inhabitants, completely closed: “The 30 buildings that make up the hamlet were completely visited, 25 people were heard, 12 vehicles visited and 12 hectares raked”, he listed.
“It is a question of looking for the slightest clue, the slightest trace which would allow us to try to understand how little Emile disappeared”, continued the prosecutor.
This phase of collecting information will continue on Wednesday, before moving on to a second phase, to “exploit this information”, explained the Digne prosecutor, explaining that in addition to the gendarmes, sappers from the Foreign Legion, specializing in the search for caches, were mobilized in this alpine town located at 1,200 meters above sea level.
The research went so far as to probe haystacks in search of traces of “ferrous materials”.
On the investigator side, they will go from 15 to 20 and the investigation cell will now become a “national” cell, which will make it possible to benefit from “regional and national means, in particular scientific and technical, to be able to carry out all the investigations”.
Regarding the call for witnesses, 1,200 calls were received, said the prosecutor, calling for “citizenship” so as not to drown the investigators in useless information. He thus gave the example of a report which led to the mobilization of a team to clear up doubts by checking a motorhome in Isère.
