Delphine Jubillar, who worked as a night nurse in a clinic in Albi, disappeared in the middle of the night from the family home in Cagnac-les-Mines (Tarn) in December 2020. Her husband, with whom she was divorcing, is the main suspect.
He was indicted for murder and imprisoned on June 18, 2021.

Justice believes that the investigators have brought enough elements of the guilt of the 34-year-old plasterer painter to keep him in prison, while Cédric Jubillar's lawyers claim that the file does not contain any irrefutable evidence.
Cédric Jubillar, who claims to be innocent, must again be heard by the examining magistrates on May 12 in Toulouse.
