Jean-Marc Reiser was arrested in September 2018, a few days after the disappearance of Sophie Le Tan, on her 20th birthday.
She hadn't given any sign of life after going to Schiltigheim, north of Strasbourg, to visit an apartment.
Jean-Marc Reiser, who had posted the real estate ad, quickly became the sole suspect.
The incomplete skeleton of the young woman was discovered more than a year later, at the end of October 2019, in a Vosges forest, in Rosheim (Bas-Rhin), an area where Jean-Marc Reiser regularly visited.
Despite the sexagenarian's denials, several pieces of evidence seemed to establish his involvement, in particular the presence of Sophie Le Tan's blood in her apartment as well as on the handle of a saw belonging to her.
