Overview
- On November 8, 2025, Anne and Philippe Vedovini visited the Haut‑Vernet with two of their children and their lawyers to examine key locations tied to the case.
- They photographed sites, used a drone, and retraced routes between the hamlet and the area where parts of Émile’s remains, including his skull, were found in March 2024.
- Family lawyer Julien Pinelli described the effort as a “complement to the investigation” and said a judge of instruction will be seized “soon” to consider specific requests.
- Their counsel Isabelle Colombani said the group visited previously overlooked spots that, in light of information learned during March custody, could open new lines of inquiry.
- Authorities say the gendarmerie’s SR Marseille unit and the national inquiry cell remain active on the case, with around a dozen investigators at work and a new SR commander seen on site earlier this week.
