Fifteen years later, they have not stopped looking, investigating to finally find out the truth.
The gendarmes of the research section (SR) of Lille (North) call for witnesses to finally get their hands on the murderer of Sabine Guyot, killed at the age of 21 in 2005.
On May 2, 2005, a truck driver stopped at the side of the departmental road 937 in Neuville-Saint-Vaast (Pas-de-Calais).
At the edge of a field, he spotted smoke and approached to make sure there was no risk of fire.
It was then that he discovered a charred foot in the brazier.
These are the remains of Sabine Guyot, mother of a 10 month old child and waitress in the area.
“It was really a woman without history, blows a source close to the investigation.
She had no reason to be killed, no one seemed to want to harm her.
"
For nearly ten years, however, the gendarmes came up against a wall.
Several avenues are being considered, including that of the killer Bruno Cholet, sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of Susanna Zetterberg, taken in charge by a fake taxi at the exit of a Parisian nightclub and whose body had been found calcined in Chantilly forest (Oise).
Like the young Swede, Sabine Guyot was found with her hands tied behind her back before being burned.
Another false trail, just like the one leading to a relative of Sabine Guyot, placed in police custody in 2015 and finally released.
"Even if it is old, we must not lose hope"
In 2016, despite a first classification without follow-up, the gendarmes obtained new testimonies likely to relaunch the investigation, which was reopened in 2018. Since then, an investigation group has been formed by the SR of Lille, which collaborates with the plateau investigation cold cases of the gendarmerie.
“The objective is now to resume this procedure from A to Z, blows a source close to the investigation.
Science has progressed, and we hope that new analyzes will finally bring this file to fruition.
Even if this is an old case, we must not give up hope.
