Nearly nine months later, bones and clothes belonging to the little boy were found near the hamlet of Haut-Vernet in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence.

But it is the testimony of a childhood friend of the family that particularly attracts attention. She explains that the grandfather, who is an osteopath at La Bouilladisse, is a well-known personality and that the affair of little Émile attracts many curious people. "Several patients came to see out of curiosity, to know who this person was", she explained.

This relative of the family also confides that the community group on social networks has seen its number of requests multiply by ten and deplores the behavior of these Internet users who & quot;should stay in their place". This curiosity and this enthusiasm reveal a “rather unhealthy atmosphere around the family and the grandfather,” she whispers.
