Man Confesses to 2000 Murder of Ginette Naime After 25 Years

The suspect, a 61-year-old former drug user, was apprehended and charged following a reopened investigation by the Nanterre cold case unit.

Ginette Naime, a 46-year-old woman, was found stabbed to death in Ollioules, France, in April 2000, with the case remaining unsolved for decades.
The investigation was revived in 2023 by the Nanterre cold case unit, which led to the identification of a 61-year-old man as the suspect.
The suspect, known to law enforcement for drug-related issues, confessed to the crime during interrogation and was charged with extortion and murder.
Authorities believe the murder was financially motivated, with the suspect forcing Naime to withdraw money before killing her to avoid identification.
The case marks the ninth resolution by the Nanterre cold case unit, bringing relief and renewed pain to Naime’s family as they prepare for a trial.
