Could the key to the Jubillar mystery lie in hearing a brand new witness?
After three years of investigations, Tarn nurse Delphine Jubillar, who disappeared on the night of December 15 to 16, 2020 in Cagnac-les-Mines, has still not been found.
And yet, while the investigation has now been closed for two months, a new twist could well disrupt the investigation: a request for additional information was sent by the Toulouse public prosecutor's office concerning a mysterious witness who assured have
“revelations to make”
about the disappearance of the nurse: according to our information, the latter claims to know the exact place where the Tarn nurse would have been buried.
A missing excavator
“According to this witness, it is possible that the body of Delphine Jubillar is buried not far from a house under construction. He justifies this indication in particular by the fact that, shortly after the events, an excavator from this site disappeared and was never found
,” reports Le
Figaro
a source close to the file, confirming information from
La Dépêche
.
The body would be found more precisely under a concrete slab, specifies the local daily.
According to our information, this witness asked to be heard through a gendarme working within the investigation unit dedicated to the disappearance of Delphine Jubillar.
Believing that these comments could potentially advance the investigation, the soldier subsequently wrote a report to the courts.
Despite the closure of the investigation, the Toulouse public prosecutor's office then filed a request for additional investigation in order to verify these statements.
“This proves that we are still seeking the truth”
On January 18, before the investigating chamber of the Toulouse Court of Appeal, Cédric Jubillar's lawyers were therefore questioned about this new element and about the possibility of hearing, as part of a supplementary investigation, this new witness.
“For the moment, it is not an objective element, we are only basing ourselves on declarative statements, speculations,”
a well-informed source
explains to Le
Figaro , “
but there are a whole bunch of aggregates that it is worth checking.
If this allows us to move forward usefully, everything will be done.
It is possible, if the investigating chamber grants this additional information, that we dig to verify the witness's statements, but also that we use techniques to verify whether the soil was disturbed at a certain period. precise
,” estimates this same source.
As for the advice of the husband indicted for “murder of a spouse”, it is indicated that “
this proves that we are still seeking the truth
”.
“
There is so little evidence against Cédric Jubillar that the slightest testimony is of interest to justice,”
one of the defendant's lawyers, Me Emmanuelle Franck,
reacted to Le
Figaro just after this closed-door hearing.
The court will deliver its decision on February 8.
