Inflexible in the face of the police, how Cédric Jubillar justifies the inconsistencies between his version and that of the investigators?

“I believe that this interrogation marks the end of a cycle, the Cédric Jubillar cycle. It is high time that justice is interested in other tracks”. At the end of a second hearing – organized this Friday and which will have lasted nearly 6 hours – Cédric Jubillar’s lawyers were very offensive, considering that the trail of the husband in the disappearance of Delphine Jubillar was “exhausted”. However, a year after the nurse’s unexplained disappearance, many gray areas remain. A handful of inconsistencies between the suspect’s version and that of the investigators is notably at the heart of the debates.

First of all, did the couple have an argument on the night of the disappearance? A neighbor and her daughter claim to have heard screams from women around 11 p.m. An argument that Cédric Jubillar vigorously contests. “There was no headache that night. We didn’t have a fight that night.”, he declared during his police custody last June. A version that his defense loudly supports: “No one other than these two people heard screams. And when I say no one else, I mean both the couple’s child and Cedric himself, as well as the direct neighbors”, insists Emmanuelle Franck, one of Cédric Jubillar’s lawyers.

Another suspect element in the eyes of investigators: why did Cédric Jubillar try to trigger a washing machine in the middle of the night when he had just reported the disappearance of his wife? As a reminder, it is a gendarme of the research section of Toulouse who had cited this element against the husband Jubillar, during the press conference held on June 18, 2021. Since then, analyzes have been carried out on the water of said washing machine. No trace of blood was found there. Nothing was found in the siphon of the bathroom sink either. “He doesn’t remember trying to make a machine that night. […] He was able to try to occupy himself while waiting for the gendarmes “, argue the lawyers of the one and only suspect in this case.

Finally, Cédric Jubillar he really looked for his wife everywhere in the house and in the garden as he claims? To verify it, the investigators relied on his phone and an application counting the steps. That night, she posted 40. But for the gendarmes, it was necessary to take 380 steps to go around the home. “He gets up, he goes to see his daughter. He does some research around the house. He doesn’t have his phone with him so, at that point, there is no movement. And then he takes the phone and made a few trips “, tries to explain Alexandre Martin, another lawyer of the victim’s husband.

Delphine Jubillar has been missing since the night of December 15 to 16, 2020, in Cagnac-les-Mines, in the Tarn. As part of the investigation, her husband, Cédric, was taken into police custody and then indicted for murder on June 18, 2021. He has since been in pre-trial detention.
