What happened to these nine children, aged 5 to 15, attacked, killed or disappeared in Isère between 1983 and 1996? The mystery still remains complete. But the Nanterre “cold cases” center has decided to relaunch the investigations around one of the victims of these “disappeared from Isère”.
The body of Fabrice Ladoux, 12, kidnapped on January 13, 1989 between his home and his college in Grenoble, and found dead a few days later in the Chartreuse massif, was exhumed as part of new investigations, said Tuesday the floor.
DNA expertise and 3D modeling of the crime scene
According to information from Parisianthe investigating judge Sabine Kheris, coordinator of the unit dedicated to unsolved criminal cases, went “to the scene last week […] to carry out an exhumation”, indicated the parquet floor of Nanterre, without further details. The aim was in particular to carry out new DNA expertise and to carry out a new medical examination of the child’s body. Drones also flew over the area where Fabrice Ladoux’s body was found to make a 3D modeling of the crime scene, the newspaper said.
Installed since March 1, 2022 at the Nanterre judicial court, the national pole dedicated to “cold cases” looks into cases sometimes half a century old which have resisted investigators across the country. In total, out of 222 investigations examined by the division, 77 procedures were opened. Nineteen had ceased to be the subject of investigations and Nanterre relaunched them.
