Skeleton Found in French Home Likely Solves 15-Year Mystery

Renovation uncovers remains believed to be missing owner, sparking investigation into possible suicide.

The skeletal remains were discovered by new homeowners in an attic space in Erstroff, France, during renovations.
The body is believed to be Aloïs Iffly, who disappeared in 2009 at the age of 81, and was last seen on a foggy April day.
A rope found at the scene suggests the possibility of suicide, though forensic analysis is ongoing to confirm identity and cause of death.
Iffly's disappearance had remained unresolved despite extensive searches, with his wife passing away in 2020 without closure.
The discovery was made while investigating a rainwater leak, leading to the accidental entry into the hidden attic space.
