Two-year-old Émile went missing in southern France on July 8th. The search for him was unsuccessful until a few days ago.

Investigators are sure that the bones found are Émile's. The bones will be examined further at the site of the discovery. The case caused great horror in France. Even months after the boy's disappearance, media interest is high. It was only on Thursday that the small town was cordoned off in order to recreate the last moments in which the boy was seen.
