Emile’s tragic demise at Vernet: The unresolved mystery and how modeling might finally provide answers

Questions continue to linger around the tragic death of little Emile.

A two-and-a-half-year-old boy, Emile vanished on the 8th of July, 2023, in Vernet. On this fateful day, he woke from his afternoon nap at around 5 pm, at which point he slipped away unnoticed by his grandparents.

Following the report of Emile’s disappearance, an extensive search was organized by the authorities. Despite their efforts, the search yielded no results. It was not until nine months later that the tragic confirmation of the boy’s death came to light. On the 30th of March, 2024, a passerby discovered Emile’s remains near Vernet.

The investigators also aim to understand how Emile’s remains ended up in the area. Currently, no leads are being overlooked by the authorities. However, they are still unsure of the route the victim might have taken on the day of his disappearance. Essentially, the child had two options when he left the hamlet of Haut-Vernet on foot.

Either Emile continued straight at the first junction, or he took a right turn. His remains were found where these two routes run parallel, which complicates the investigation. « We still don’t know exactly where he could have passed, the whole area is heavily eroded due to recent heavy rains. We will have to wait for the results of the ongoing modeling, » a gendarme told Marianne.
