Monique Olivier, who is now the only one able to help solve the puzzles left by her ex-husband, who died in May at the age of 79, has been heard once again since Monday at the Paris judicial court by the judge of Sabine Khéris instruction.

The magistrate is responsible for investigating the death of Estelle Mouzin, 9 years old, who disappeared from Guermantes (Seine-et-Marne) on the evening of January 9, 2003. A few months before her state of health deteriorated, Michel Fourniret had recognized with the judge his role in this case.

Last April, Monique Olivier finally confessed to having accompanied her ex-husband on January 11, 2003 in a wood of the Ardennes so that he bury the body.

Since June 2020, Sabine Khéris has organized eight search campaigns there to try, sometimes in the presence of the ex-wife of the serial killer, to find the body of the girl, but without success.

The purpose of these new hearings and confrontations is to "

try to determine a place

" where the body would be, said Delgenes.

Another disappearance linked to Fourniret?

In 2018, five inmates of Rennes prison, who said they had heard Monique Olivier confide in the actions of her ex-husband, had been interviewed by investigators.

Monique Olivier could also be questioned on Wednesday by the judge on the disappearance of Lydie Logé, 29, in 1993 in Orne, according to Me Delgenes.

While two investigations, from 1994 to 1998 and then from 2004 to 2009, had resulted in dismissals, the investigations were relaunched in 2018 after connections established between the DNA traces from organic compounds found in Michel Fourniret's van and the DNA of Lydie Logé's mother.

Monique Olivier is serving a life sentence with a 28-year security measure in Fleury-Mérogis (Essonne) prison for complicity in four of the murders of the “

ogre des Ardennes

”.

She is also indicted, also for complicity, for the disappearances of Lydie Logé and Estelle Mouzin, but also of Marie-Angèle Domece at 19 (1988) and Joanna Parrish at 20 (1990).
