Elisa Pilarski, a 29-year-old pregnant woman, died of bites on November 16 in a forest in Retz, Aisne. Three months later, the investigation is at a standstill, reports France Info this Thursday. The DNA samples of the 62 court hunting dogs belonging to the "passion rally", as well as the five dogs of the victim's companion, who were near the crime scene, have still not been sent to the laboratory.
These analyzes had however been deemed a priority by the prosecutor of Soissons because these results should potentially identify the dog or dogs responsible for this violent death. But the price asked by the private laboratory requested for these 67 DNA and saliva analyzes was deemed too important by the courts, reports the radio, which puts forward the figure of 100,000 euros.
A “collective fantasy around this DNA”
An estimate was requested from another laboratory by the investigating judge and the investigators of the Creil judicial police, who are still awaiting a response. “This is the procedure: the investigating judge must request a quote before launching DNA analyzes. Now, it is not for me to tell you that 3 months is a long time, ”reacted to France 3 the lawyer for the young woman's parents.
Me Cathy Richard also believes that “there is a kind of collective fantasy around this DNA. And he was wrongly at the heart of the matter. Scientific evidence should not be overestimated especially in this type of facts. The behavior of Curtis, the dog accompanying the young pregnant woman, also questions. He has since attacked, the same evening, the victim's companion, then a volunteer from the shelter where he was locked up.
