Overview
- On the first day of hearings, Maylis Daubon, 53, pleaded not guilty, repeated that her eldest daughter died by suicide, and rejected labels of mythomania or theatrical behavior.
- The personality investigator described overplayed emotions and vague or inflated career claims, while some relatives called her manipulative, a portrayal the defense disputes.
- Forensic experts reported 1,882 mg of propranolol in Enea’s body—about 50 to 75 tablets—along with 22 other molecules, concluding an acute toxic cardiorespiratory decompensation.
- Investigators say the younger daughter’s hair contained traces of codeine, an anxiolytic, a hypnotic, and an antidepressant without prescriptions, leading to an additional indictment; she is set to testify and has not accused her mother.
- Daubon also stands accused of soliciting inmates in Pau to have her ex-husband killed; the trial in the Landes assize court runs to December 3, with the father due to testify and a potential sentence of up to 30 years.
