Aix-en-Provence prosecutor Jean-Luc Blachon held a press conference on the case for the first time, this Tuesday April 2nd. Since the discovery on Saturday of the bones of little Émile, who disappeared last July, the hamlet of Haut-Vernet has been cut off from the world.

Around a hundred gendarmes, including dozens of investigators, including anthropologists and dog teams assisted by dogs specialized in detecting human remains. The prosecutor also indicated that some of the boy's clothes were found.
