It’s been 19 years since little Estelle Mouzin disappeared, not far from her home in Guermantes (Seine-et-Marne). While a white march took place on Saturday, January 8 in the city, the creation of a pole dedicated to unresolved cases could be announced.

Saturday January 8, about fifty relatives of Estelle Mouzin marched in her memory, for the 19th anniversary of her disappearance. Recent searches for the girl’s body have not been conclusive, and Sabine Kheris, the investigating judge who revived the case two years ago, has just left her post. These two elements are enough to arouse the concern of Eric Mouzin, the father of the missing little girl.

In reality, it is possible that Sabine Khéris has left her post to join a new pole for old unresolved cases. This type of unit would be unprecedented in France. For the time being, more than 300 cases remain unsolved, including the Grégory affair, the disappearance of Paquita Parra, as well as that of Xavier Dupont-de-Ligonnès. Several magistrates specializing in this type of case will form a national pole, or several regional poles. “Why not a national pole, but that will be totally insufficient”, deplores Céline Parisot, president of the Special Union of Magistrates.
