Émile’s disappearance: New revelations!

Suspicious Haut-Vernet resident, “I always wondered…”

Since then, there have been interrogations, beatings and telephone investigations to determine who was present in the hamlet at the time of the disappearance. Strategies that are all more fruitless than each other. If the gendarmes do not intend to give up, the investigation stalls…
