Despite the seventeen months that have passed since the unexplained disappearance of Delphine Jubillar, her relatives are still mobilized for the truth to come out. Some friends of the Tarn nurse who has not given any sign of life since December 16, 2020 have launched new excavations in June. At their side, about twenty volunteers to carry out new research near the cemetery of Saint-Dalmaze, reports The Midi Dispatch. But why did they have to be stopped?
We have to come back at the end of 2021 to find as many people ready to look for a trace, a clue to lead to the body of Delphine Jubillar, born Aussaguel. A participant explained to The Dispatch why the mobilization had to end: “We had to stop the search at the beginning of the year to make way for the gendarmes and we had to remobilize the volunteers afterwards”explains Thierry, a Belgian retiree who lives in Monestiés and who regularly comes to the site to support Delphine’s relatives.
At the beginning of 2022, the authorities had planned a large-scale operation to relaunch the excavations to finally find Delphine’s body. The operation, carried out by investigators from the Research Section of the Toulouse Research Section, consisted of “high-tech drones, provided by the Criminal Research Institute of the Gendarmerie (IRCG)” which are “equipped with thermal and multispectral cameras able to spot places where the earth has been turned over“says the daily. No geological fault that makes up the region and makes research difficult should have been able to resist these powerful machines. If the meteorological context delayed its establishment, it then took place but in vain, no convincing element n surfaced.
Previously, major searches have already taken place, in vain, by the authorities who have called in the gendarmes and soldiers. The area of a farm located 2km from the Jubillar home was the subject of numerous searches since it was cited by a fellow prisoner of the accused and by his companion Séverine – who has since distanced herself – as the place where the body of his wife. A building that burned down in the spring of 2021, two months before Cédric Jubillar was remanded in custody for the murder of his wife, with whom he was in divorce proceedings.
Cédric Jubillar remains presumed innocent of the charges against him until the final judgment of this case.
