The excavated marsh, located in the town of Issancourt, bordering Ville-sur-Lumes, is "

a place that Monique Olivier was able to determine

", during her interrogations, said her lawyer, Richard Delgenes, leaving the area in late afternoon.

It was in Ville-sur-Lumes that according to Monique Olivier, her ex-husband had, in a house belonging to her sister, kidnapped, raped and killed Estelle Mouzin, who disappeared at 9 years old on January 9, 2003 when she was returning from school in Guermantes (Seine-et-Marne).

Monique Olivier was "

questioned at length on the site

" by Judge Sabine Kheris, in particular to determine "

if Michel Fourniret had asked her to bring instruments, tools here,

" continued Me Delgenes.

"

It's long, (...) difficult

".

"

The investigators hesitate between the fact that she does not want to say and the fact that she has buried all that, that she does not know (...) The examining magistrate may also think that Michel Fourniret gave her pieces of information the importance of which she does not yet perceive

, ”he continued.

"

As Michel Fourniret medically is no longer able to answer the questions, everything is focused on Monique Olivier, the question is whether (...) he has provided him with enough elements

", he concluded.

The operations, which began on Monday, were to continue in the evening and “

maybe

” Thursday, he added.

The convoy of four vehicles, including a van of the criminal identification of the gendarmerie, had arrived at the beginning of the afternoon on the site, known as "

marshes of Paradise

", searched since Monday.

Suffering from health problems, the septuagenarian serial killer should not be brought to the Ardennes.

He ended up confessing in March 2020 his responsibility in this case.

He was then indicted for "

kidnapping and forcible confinement followed by death

", and Monique Olivier for complicity.

Several excavation operations have already been undertaken in the region in recent months, without results.

In October, during a research where Michel Fourniret was present, Me Corinne Hermann, who defends the family of Estelle Mouzin alongside Me Didier Seban, hailed "

serious progress

".

But new excavations in December were concluded without "

unfortunately being found elements useful for the investigation

", had indicated Me Seban.
