A case never solved
In almost 40 years, the case still has no culprit. Some “raven“blackmailed the child’s parents. For a time, the parents thought they knew his identity, but in vain. Surprising techniques have even been put in place to try to unravel this mystery.
The father of the family has resigned himself to emptying his son’s grave and the family moved to the Paris region, in Essonne, to escape media coverage. However, they never stopped fighting to find out the truth. The lawyer confirms it, the legal case will continue to be talked about because the file is not closed. “So there was a second reopening and this same reopening is still in progress.“, she indicates.
