French investigators have found the remains of a toddler who went missing last year in an Alpine village in a case that shocked the nation, and are working to determine how he died, a prosecutor said Sunday.
Two-and-a-half-year-old Emile Soleil vanished on July 8 last year while staying with his grandparents. Two neighbours last saw him in the late afternoon walking alone on a street in Le Vernet, 1,200 metres above sea level in the French Alps.
Emile disappeared the day after he arrived in the village to stay with his maternal grandparents in their second home for the holidays. A massive on-the-ground search involving dozens of police officers and soldiers, sniffer dogs, a helicopter and drones failed to find him in July. Drones flew overhead in the drizzle to capture footage of the re-enactment, but there was no news of any major discovery after the exercise.Until now, some media had focused on the boy’s grandfather, now in his fifties.
