In Vendée, more than two months after the disappearance of Karine Esquivillon, mother of five children, her husband was arrested this Wednesday, June 14 in the morning and placed in police custody. Is the investigation changing?
Michel Pialle, 51, is he involved in the disappearance of Karine Esquivillon, his wife, and mother of three of his children? It is in any case a track that the investigators are exploring who placed him in police custody, this Wednesday morning June 14. All day, in his presence, they searched his house, in this hamlet in Vendée, for the second time since March 27.
Investigation extended to murder
That day his wife disappears, a voluntary departure, we were told a few days ago. On another message, he receives a photo of the Pilat dune in Gironde. But investigators have established that the photo was captured on a website, so it was not taken by Karine Esquivillon. In addition, the phone of the latter has never left the Vendée, according to investigators. Since the disappearance of his wife, this junk dealer, who says he was a secret agent, has confided in journalists a lot.
But some of his comments have cast doubt, such as when he claims that he and his wife had been separated for four years while living under the same roof. Karine Esquivillon’s own sister says she didn’t know, and finds it hard to believe her version of the facts. Wednesday evening, Michel Pialle is still in police custody at the La Roche-sur-Yon gendarmerie. The investigation, opened two months ago for kidnapping and forcible confinement, has been extended to murder.
