Fact remains at a certain point they pulled the search rather than increase the search zone.

Yep, no vehicules can go to the area and due to poor weather in France for few days, the terrain is very muddy and very steep. Right now they're using 2 k9 teams and anthropologists specialised in soil analysis are on site.French toddler Emile Soleil's remains found but his death is still a mystery
Emile Soleil disappeared in a tiny Alpine village nine months ago. How he died remains unclear.
Police are investigating why the bones appeared after so long. The latest reports suggest the woman found a skull in a a steep area that was not easy to access and handed it over to local gendarmes (military police).
Ws thread..

Either that or he wandered off.
A medical examiner said on french television they're gonna use 3d imaging which in theory can show lesions even 9 month after. The teeth can also provide some clues (death by asphyxiation for exemple). They have very few remains not an easy task.
I can't access the full article either, but the 'someone' is called Carine and I presume based on context she's from Vernet, but I may be wrong. According to her it's "impensable" - unthinkable - that little Émile would have got where he was found on his own. Here on the forum she would have to add MOO or IMO to that statement. Because there are examples here on Websleuths of small lost children getting far further away than anybody thought possible.It's a quote from the title of the article below (link was also posted earlier on the thread):
« Émile ne serait jamais allé seul là où on l’a retrouvé » : au Vernet, la consternation et les doutes
La terrible nouvelle a saisi les habitants du hameau des Alpes-de-Haute-Provence dimanche. Tous s’étonnent de la découverte du crâne dans unwww.leparisien.fr
I can't access the full article so I don't know who the quote is attributed to.
Someone else posted the relevant part of the article - the source was the village mayor.
bbm. Exactly the same thing LE said some years back when a toddler disappeared in the US. Sorry I can't remember his name, it was a little boy is all I remember and he was found outside the search area. They said "he couldn't walk that far" back then too.
If it were small children, who couldn't speak enough (couldn't be a witness), I would always assume, they were brought back by their abductor to a certain place, which got searched before. I wouldn't think, the little child walked a mile more than his age (and his little feet) would have allowed. - Maybe I'm too suspicious?
As I wrote, there have been examples here on Websleuths where a tiny child of 2 or 3 years old walked far further than anybody believed they would. No names occur to me atm but there was a case in Ontario, Canada afai recall.
That may have been him, if he was found outside the search area. I specifically remember that, because tragedy could have been avoided.
Just made one after I saw your post
hope that cutie will be found very soon
even here in the past 3 years there have been several cases of searchers about to move to recovery phase when hero is found, happy out and healthy as a trout and without a scar or a fear.. these did actually happen, I'm not making it up..
