Confusing to me is, that "a couple" isn't even named "mother and father of Emile" (let alone their names).
Otherwise you are right, of course.

Man, that poor child. No justice whatsoever, so much violence.
Yes, very good point.
Thank you, I'm going to watch it.
Emile was a two year old baby. How on earth could anyone be too lenient on him? that place just seems odd to me really.
thank you so much.
Because the media don't care if it's newsworthy, the more sensational they can make a story the better. Standard.
May I add for info:

DNA."Inevitably, after a search phase which yielded nothing, the investigators who know their job, and have learned, at least I hope, from their past mistakes, will not forget DNA. Then begins an almost classic investigation. They must have been interested in the first circle to see if behind masks of pain are not people who hide in order to sneer, as in the case of little Grégory. Afterwards, you have to check the inhabitants of the hamlet. It should go fast. Finally, we cannot neglect, and especially not, the possibility of a predator."

"To remove without leaving the slightest trace, from what I read in the newspapers, a 2-year-old boy in a tiny hamlet where everyone knows each other, unfortunately, requires a certain savoir-faire, or know-how. So we have to look in that direction as well."
ENTRETIEN. Disparition d'Emile : "Il faut forcément penser aux grands prédateurs"
Depuis presque 27 ans, Me Georges Catala accompagne les parents de Marion Wagon, disparue à Agen le 14 novembre 1996. Il porte un regard forcément attentif à la disparition du petit Emile.
What I'm considering is that he followed the road and the scent didn't survive there--less for it to cling onto, plus breeze and maybe traffic to sweep it away; left the road for an attractive place and rested/played there a while; decided it was time to return home but had a wrong sense of direction and perhaps took a 'short cut' across country; then went on and on at least until dark and after knowing he was lost, eventually travelling well beyond the search area. In this case the scent would stop at the edge of the triangle but might begin again when he left the road.
It's no the journalist who said that. The article quotes the lawyer or Marion Wagon's parents(a little girl that's been missing since 1996).
Perhaps if the searchers were arriving from outside the hamlet, all coming along that road (Les Faisses?) Otherwise I'd expect the searchers to have focussed, and hence contamination to be higher, near to and just beyond the house. Yet that's where Emile's scent was found. I suppose it's difficult to predict especially by a non-expert outsider.
