It's the end of a 36-year-old cold case.
On May 22, 1986, in Pontcharra (Isère), Marie-Thérèse Bonfanti, a 25-year-old young woman mother of two children aged 4 years and 6 months, mysteriously disappeared while distributing newspapers in Pontcharra (Isère), a small town of the Grésivaudan valley, near Grenoble.
36 years later, therefore, a 56-year-old man was arrested at the beginning of the week by the gendarmes, placed in police custody and indicted for "kidnapping", "forcible confinement" and "murder".
He was incarcerated.
In front of the investigators of the research section of the gendarmerie of Isère, the suspect, Yves Chatain, admitted the facts by delivering detailed confessions.
The victim's body has not yet been found.
