Michel Fourniret transported to Guermantes to solve the mystery

In Guermantes (Seine-et-Marne),

“We will be exceptionally closed…” On the front of the few shops in the center of Guermantes (Seine-et-Marne), the posters have been highlighted. And on Wednesday morning, the police also came by to make sure the directive had been understood. No question of taking the slightest risk. This Thursday, Michel Fourniret must be removed from his cell and transported to the scene of the disappearance of little Estelle Mouzin to try to explain what really happened, almost 18 years ago.

January 9, 2003 exactly. It was freezing to rock when the 9-year-old girl left school. She went down the avenue Marcel Proust, took the shortcut between the hedges of fir trees and laurels to join the rue des Pies Vagabondes before falling back on the place du Temps Perdu. It was then 6.30pm when she was last seen in front of the bakery, about ten minutes from her house. Nicolas can’t remember it. He only resumed this business four years ago. “But I know this affair is a real trauma for the people here,” he confides, taking chopsticks out of the oven. It’s still going strong. Always so lively. “

“An evening when it was pitch black and it was snowing”

It certainly is for Patricia. Former neighbor of Mouzins at the time of the facts, this 66-year-old retiree cannot hold back her tears while a ray of sunshine illuminates her morning walk among the trees yellowed by autumn. “My children played with Estelle from time to time. And on the evening of the incident, my daughter was just outside alone with the dog, ”she sobs. Listening to her, not a day goes by without her going over this matter again. That she wonders if the girl passed by the street André Thierry or by the promenade of Belle Inutile to reach her house. If she’s been kidnapped before. And especially why nobody saw anything, heard nothing …

Guy Jelensperger is not surprised. In his living room loaded with photos, stuffed animals and earthenware souvenirs of the liner France, the former UMP mayor describes, straightforwardly, this village he managed for more than 20 years. “It is a city of ” bobo bourgeois ”, he caricatures. These are people who come home and don’t care about their neighbors! So imagine a January evening when it was pitch black and it was snowing! “

Monique Olivier, the last chance to know?

Even today, the mystery remains unsolved. But the clues are piling up against Michel Fourniret. First, there was this former colleague who claims to have met him in the sector at the time of the events. Then, his ex-wife, Monique Olivier, ended up destroying the alibi he had in this case. And then, above all, there is an incomplete DNA of Estelle Mouzin which was discovered on a mattress that belonged to the serial killer. “It hurts my heart to see that it took almost 20 years to find these clues, Patricia annoys. It might have changed the course of things … “

Maybe… Not sure… Aging, affected by neurological disorders, according to an expert, “the ogre of the Ardennes” ended up confessing the facts to judge Sabine Khéris. “I recognize someone who is no longer there by my fault,” he swung when she handed him a photo of Estelle Mouzin. But he did not give up anything else, without knowing whether he really lost his memory or if he was still playing a bad trick in order to make the girl’s family suffer.

“For me, he doesn’t even know where he lives!” Assures a retiree passing through Guermantes to look after his granddaughter. The only chance to find out is that his ex-wife, Monique Olivier, is really talking. “Even if she has, a priori, never set foot in Guermantes, it is also expected that she will participate in this reconstitution this Thursday. And this is the first time that she will find her ex-husband since she dumped him. “We will remain cloistered,” Patricia has already planned. Not for fear of the former criminal couple. “But if I meet them, I would be able to spit in their faces …” she blurted.
