While the mystery surrounding the disappearance of little Emile still persists four months later, is the investigation taking a new turn? According to information from Parisian, new large-scale legal operations are being carried out by investigators this week. Around ten searches reportedly began on the morning of Tuesday, November 7.
This new research targets several locations in the commune of Vernet and surrounding areas, some in mountainous areas that are difficult to access. Others would focus on the homes and vehicles of people considered suspicious by investigators. The targets of these operations were determined through digital and telephone data.

The teenager had also been singled out by residents of the town claiming that he regularly drove fast in the streets of the village. However, the searches turned up nothing.
