Nearly nine months after the disappearance of a two-year-old child in France, investigators have found the child’s bones. The Aix-en-Provence public prosecutor’s office announced this on Sunday.
The gendarmerie received news on Saturday that bones had been discovered near the mountain village of Le Vernet. Genetic analysis by researchers showed on Sunday that these were the bones of Émile, who had been missing since early July. The bones would now be further examined. Additional searches should be conducted at the scene of the discovery.

The case caused great horror in France. Even months after the boy’s disappearance, media interest is high. Two and a half year old Émile had been on holiday with his grandparents in the southern French town when they lost sight of him towards the evening of July 8. Two witnesses stated that they saw the boy running down the street. The police searched the area several times with a large contingent.
It wasn’t until Thursday that the town was cordoned off to recreate the last moments the boy was seen. (sda/dpa)
