Overview

  • On June 20, 2025, the presiding judge refused a motion by Me Pauline Rongier to conduct new searches in a wooded area linked to GPS data from Cédric Jubillar’s phone.
  • The motion relied on coordinates claiming the phone registered a location in Mirandol-Bourgnounac at 3:21 AM on the night Delphine Jubillar vanished.
  • Official investigation files show the device was switched off between 10:08 PM and 3:53 AM, prompting experts to label the 3:21 AM ping as a software artifact.
  • Gendarmes had previously examined the site about 25 kilometers north of Cagnac-les-Mines in April 2021 without finding any traces of Delphine Jubillar.
  • The ruling clears the way for the case to move into its trial phase with judges set to weigh circumstantial evidence drawn from Cédric Jubillar’s phone.
