In GER there is coverage of the case. I think: more than usual.

Two-year-old Émile has been missing for almost three months. An important witness has given investigators a new clue.
Surprising new clues in the case of the missing Émile in France: An important witness who claims to have seen the two-year-old boy shortly before his disappearance in the Alpine village of Le Vernet has recently changed his statement to the police. He no longer wants to see the boy alone on a valley road, but with his grandfather.
The man was one of two witnesses who claimed to have seen Émile, who had been missing for almost three months, shortly before his disappearance on a valley road in Le Vernet. An older witness had explained that Émile had walked up the street to his grandparents' house. The other, younger witness explained that Émile, on the other hand, ran towards the center of the village. His grandfather is said to have been nearby.
According to the younger witness's statement, there was criticism of the man. It was questioned why he did not call the police when he saw the boy alone on the road towards the village. “I didn’t call the police because he wasn’t alone. His grandfather was chopping wood about ten meters away from him. He was close to him,” the man told the French television station “BFMTV.”
