investigators search a wood below the farm

It’s the second day of excavations at Cagnac-les-Mines for the soldiers, the gendarmes and the agents of the city who are mobilized in the search for the body of Delphine Jubillar. Since Monday, several dozen people have been working in the Drignac farm sector. This Tuesday, the research is concentrated below this farm. A team of soldiers from the Specialized Operational Searches (FOS) unit, called upon in this type of operation to search for buried or buried bodies, is also on site, as well as scientific experts from the Criminal Research Institute of the National Gendarmerie (IRCGN).

A wood and some wild deposits

The investigators decided to start their search in the woods bordering the Chemin de Drignac. This old road that linked Albi to Cagnac-les-Mines was closed a little over two years ago due to a landslide. Today, it is a path in the forest where only motorbikes can pass. In places, the site served as a wild dump. Trucks have dumped rubble, individuals have left tiles or tires there. This is where the investigators planted their white tent to direct operations. And the first to take action were, as expected, the city’s green space agents. All day we heard several chainsaws in the woods where no one has the right to move. Cagnac employees cleared brush and cut trees so that the soldiers could then crisscross the area. An area which in any case is only three kilometers away from the home of the Jubillars.

Mobilizing a hundred people, these excavations will last several days, even several weeks. Delphine Jubillar, 33, who worked as a nurse in a clinic in Albi, disappeared on the night of December 15 to 16, 2020. It was her husband, Cédric, now 34, who alerted the gendarmes . Indicted for murder, he claims to be innocent and multiplies the requests for release. The last was rejected last Friday by the investigating chamber of the Toulouse Court of Appeal. The Tarnais has however boasted, on several occasions, of having hidden the body of his wife in the sector of the Drignac farm.
