They couldn’t take it anymore. As Le Point reveals in a new investigation published this Wednesday, September 13, 2023, the parents of little Émile, this boy of just two years old who suddenly disappeared in Haut Vernet (Alpes-de-Hautes-Provence) on July 8, have made a serious decision to protect themselves from the media hype and murderous rumors that have been devastating their daily lives for two months. Indeed, after spending the entire summer at their resort where Émile was before his disappearance, in the vain hope of finding him safe and sound, the boy’s parents decided to return to their home in Marseille.
Tired of the attacks and suspicions targeting them, exhausted by the reports and interviews, the parents wanted to return to Marseille, in order to devote themselves to the investigation in complete privacy. A few days after Émile’s disappearance, the public prosecutor opened an investigation for ‘kidnapping’ and ‘kidnapping’, de facto favoring the criminal trail, after having for a time imagined the little boy’s escape. All the trails have since been combed through, to the point of imagining the animal trail, with the possible kidnapping carried out by a bird of prey, or the murder committed by a wild animal, such as a wolf or a wild boar. No investigation has been able to lead to any concrete element.

Neighbors suspect each other and go to war
In Haut Vernet, suspicions are rife, and all the villagers suspect each other. As Le Point points out, a resident filed a complaint a few weeks ago for “slanderous denunciation” after two neighbors denounced him as a farmer driving “too fast” with his tractor.
For another resident of Vernet, the trail of running away or involuntary disappearance is inconceivable: ”Le Haut Vernet is a tiny place, fifteen houses in all, with a very small square where there is a fountain, the church, and a patch of grass that the locals call the garden. A tiny hamlet, where Emile was last seen, and where specialized dogs also traced him one last time, below the garden. If all the inhabitants of this small village were questioned, none of the versions allows us to highlight a presumption, however slight it may be.
