Overview
- Testifying in Albi, the gendarmerie’s investigation director recounted pre-disappearance tensions, phone manipulations to monitor Delphine, checks of her bank accounts, and threatening remarks attributed to Cédric Jubillar.
- The court heard reported statements including “If Delphine leaves me, I could kill her” and “I’ll bury her and no one will find her,” which the inquiry chief said were gathered from relatives and acquaintances.
- Defense lawyers pressed alternative leads with witnesses describing a taxi sighting of a distant silhouette, a Peugeot in a nearby wood, and a small white van, arguing early avenues were not fully pursued.
- Gendarmes detailed the first hours of the case and investigators outlined extensive four-year searches of rivers, forests, quarries, a cemetery, and a waste site without locating the missing nurse or a crime scene.
- Cédric Jubillar told the court, “I didn’t kill Delphine,” after an ad hoc representative relayed that his 11-year-old son believes him responsible and wants to know where his mother is.
