When Cédric Jubillar talks about his wife, who disappeared on the night of December 15 to 16, 2020, he does not use his first name. Indeed, questioned by a psychiatrist twice in the prison where he is in pre-trial detention, the 34-year-old craftsman nicknamed her “the other”, “madam”, but never Delphine. In the article of Releaseit goes even further since the father of Elyah (3 years old) and Louis (7 years old) chooses a degrading term to speak of the mother of his children of whom there has been no sign of life for a year and a half.
It is by bringing together the stories of those who rubbed shoulders with Cédric Jubillar in the Seysses remand center, in the isolation district, that Release obtains a complex portrait of this suspect number 1, far from being a grieving widower. The couple had been struggling for a long time and were in divorce proceedings. The sudden disappearance of Delphine does not make the prisoner more moved than that. For one of them, who calls himself the Breton, Cédric was never bothered by the fact that she vanished, saying he was clearly innocent and did not worry about her.

Unbearable boaster according to the fellow prisoners, the main suspect was also passionate about the reports on the case, of which he had fun becoming the blurred faces This inveterate provocateur added that “those who profit from [sa] detention to grow wings“, he would end up with the “put back in place“. He goes even further by reacting to an episode of Let the accused enter on the Lund case – the wife had been found dead in a 4×4 at the bottom of a lake: “Me, these idiots, they didn’t find the knife (…) I committed the perfect murder. I’ve been walking them for eight months.”
