Overview

• The defense told jurors a telecom list shows the lover’s number pinged a relay covering the Jubillar residence between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. on the night Delphine vanished, and alleged a related procès-verbal was removed from the file in April 2021.
• Prosecutors counter that phone analyses place neither Delphine nor the lover near the house that night, saying his line stayed at home before connecting to his work relay at 6:08 a.m., and note he was swiftly ruled out early in the probe.
• The lover testified that Delphine had received threats from her husband and said he is convinced Cédric Jubillar is responsible, while insisting he never went to Cagnac-les-Mines.
• The court deferred decisions on the defense motions, with the presiding judge considering retrieving the missing report, hearing the gendarme who compiled the list, and possibly appointing an expert as testimony continues.
• Neighbors offered conflicting accounts about hearing a woman’s cries and about Delphine’s car possibly being moved and showing condensation; the accused’s interrogation is expected later this week ahead of a 17 October verdict, and he maintains his innocence in a case with no body.
