Found Deceased France - Maëlys De Araujo, 9, Pont-de-Beauvoisin, 27 Aug 2017

[ZaZara]

Missing men from Fort Tamié: families are demanding the investigation of two phones.

The relatives of Jean-Christophe Morin and Ahmed Hamadou, two disappearance cases over which the shadow of Nordahl Lelandais looms, were received by the judge on Tuesday.

It was a long-awaited meeting for the families of the men who disappeared from Fort de Tamié. Two cases in which the gendarmes are investigating whether there may be a connection to Nordahl Lelandais, the alleged killer of Maëlys De Araujo in August 2017 and Corporal Arthur Noyer in April of the same year.

The relatives of Jean-Christophe Morin, 22 years of age, who disappeared on 9 September 2011 on the fringes of an electro music festival in the fort of Tamié (Savoy) and those of Ahmed Hamadou, 45 years, also disappeared one year later on 9 September 2012, met this Tuesday in the early afternoon with the investigating judge from Chambéry (Savoy) in charge of these files.

At the end of July, the magistrate had refused, in a letter addressed to the lawyers of the two families, to "investigate the two phones of Jean-Christophe Morin." She wished, "before proceeding, to have more information on them", provoking "cold anger" from the "stunned" civil parties.

"If you don't use these phones, you're depriving yourself of useful elements or clues. That's obstructing the investigation! " pledges Daniel Morin, 62 years, retired. Jean-Christophe's father admits that he "does not understand this backwards approach", as he has been waiting for a "real investigation for seven years" into what happened to his son. "Ah, I've made a lot of phone calls. I was moved from one office to another. I no longer believe in them...," the former EDF agent says in despair.

"I know I no longer have any hope of finding my son alive. There is too much to suggest a bad fate. I just want to know if there is a way to know the truth. But this is yet another obstacle," this father continues. He sees "justice providing simply a minimum service."

The lawyers in both families are surprised: "It is quite paradoxical not to use these phones, which contain directories, names, contacts and a call log. These are all clues that may be essential to the procedure. So many contacts that can allow us to trace links with this or that person," Didier Seban and Corinne Herrmann, both of whom are circumspect about this choice, answer in a single voice. On the other hand, all their other requests for documents were accepted.

"I still own these two phones. I found them in his camper van where he lived at the time in Sallanches, at Lake Passy. They are at their disposal. But if no one comes to get them, they are useless," confirms Adeline Morin, 39, Jean-Christophe's sister. "The judicial machine has been launched. Our complaint is finally registered. We are waiting for answers," the family mother continues.

As for Farida Hamadou, Hamed's sister, she too is waiting: "No one asked me anything. I'm just waiting. I'm waiting to hear what the judge wants to do. I especially remember that my brother regularly hitchhiked to go from La Bridoire, where Nordahl Lelandais' brother lived, to Pont-de-Beauvoisin (Isère), to the homes of cousins. I have many legitimate questions," she says, hoping, "this time, for a real investigation."

Lelandais case: a new video of sexual molestation of a minor found


The images show the former soldier committing a sexual assault on one of his little cousins.

This is another damning piece of evidence for Nordahl Lelandais. Investigators found a video of sexual molestation of one of his little cousins in his mobile phone. The girl is the suspect's goddaughter and the child is five years old.
The events took place a few weeks before the disappearance of the little Maëlys, at the girl's home in the south of France. She was then four years old. The former dog-handler has never yet been heard by the police regarding these images.

This is the second child *advertiser censored* video that the police have found, after a first one in June of another girl under the age of seven. The scene had been shot a week before Maëlys was kidnapped, on the night of 26 to 27 August 2017, during a wedding celebration in Pont-de-Beauvoisin.

Affaire Lelandais : une nouvelle vidéo d'attouchement sexuel sur une mineure retrouvée

According to our information, Nordahl Lelandais, imprisoned for the murder of little Maëlys, will be heard again by the investigating magistrates on 7 December. His case has just gotten even more serious with the discovery by investigators of a new video in which the 35-year-old ex-military subject a child, his goddaughter, to sexual molestation. As judicial sources told the "Obs", the document, which has not yet been shown, is extremely incriminating.

Affaire Maëlys : un nouveau changement dans le dossier

The Maëlys case is about to undergo a major change. Almost 16 months after the investigation was launched, it will lose one of its pillars, the public prosecutor of Grenoble, Jean-Yves Coquillat. He is due to retire at the end of the year.

He was one of the first to speak publicly about the case of the end of summer 2017, a case that would prove to be one of the most significant of the year in France. Thus, while the media are looking for the slightest clue, from the smallest source, it is Jean-Yves Coquilllat who takes the floor on 30 November to announce the indictment of Nordahl Lelandais. He then unfolds a first chronology of the night of the murder, which will be retained by the public prosecution. Coquillat will be particularly well known in the media in this case, also because of the leaks the case will suffer. An investigation has also been opened for breach of investigative secrecy.

Moreover, Jean-Yves Coquillat does not hide the impact of the Maëlys case, "an abominable affair," on his person. "All cases that affect children who are killed in these conditions have a strong impact. And there is an emotion that we are fighting against because justice must work with reason and not under the influence of emotions. Nevertheless, the emotions are there, and it's hard to live with them," he tells France Bleu.

After his departure, Jean-Yves Coquillat will be replaced as Public Prosecutor of Grenoble by Eric Vaillant. He will therefore also take up the Maëlys file, and all the information it contains. The new representative of the Public Prosecutor's Office had previously been based in Cayenne [ French Guiana, South America ] since 2015. Jean-Yves Coquillat had been based in Grenoble since 2012.

As for Nordahl Lelandais, the last hearing in the Maëlys de Araujo case took place at the end of September, including a reconstruction. During the investigation, the main suspect made new disclosures at new key locations. The former soldier is also under investigation in two other cases.

Aah les Français! .... they retire at an age that many would consider early retirement ....

I included the link to France Bleu, the main part of the article are radio interviews with Jean-Yves Coquilllat about the current uprising of the gilets jaunes in France and about Maëlys.

The new prosecutor is on Twitter, I also included the link. Interesting tweets about LE all around France, but also a lot of info about life in Guiana and its history. Twitter has a button for instant translation, so don't let the fact that it is all in French stop you from taking a look.

Nordahl Lelandais entendu par les juges pour s'expliquer sur une deuxième vidéo pédopornographique avec une fillette

Nordahl Lelandais is scheduled to be heard again on Friday by the investigating judges at the Palais de Justice in Grenoble (Isère). He must explain himself after the discovery of a new video in which the 35-year-old ex-military subjects a young girl to sexual touching.

This hearing could result in a fourth indictment for this resident of Domessin (Savoie). The 35-year-old ex-military is already being prosecuted for the murders of Maëlys at Pont-de-Beauvoisin (Isère) and Arthur Noyer in Chambéry, as well as for the sexual assault of one of his little cousins. Nordahl Lelandais could be charged once again for sexual assault.

The facts are very similar to those that have already led Nordahl Lelandais to be charged with sexual assault of a minor under the age of 15, in this case a little cousin who was six years old at the time.

Again, it was the examination of the telephone that put the investigators on the trail. They managed to recover a deleted video of a four-year-old girl being sexually touched. This allegedly happened at the home of a cousin of the former soldier, about a month before Maëlys' murder.

The victim is another little cousin of Nordahl Lelandais, she is also his goddaughter. After the discovery of a first video, the parents feared that other children in the family might have been victims of the former soldier. He will therefore be questioned today by the three investigating judges in charge of his case.

Nordahl Lelandais : «Il est plus un prédateur sexuel qu'un tueur en série»

Dauphiné Libéré Live blog

This Friday morning, Nordahl Lelandais was taken from his cell in Saint-Quentin-Fallavier to be questioned once again by the Grenoble judges in charge of the Maëlys case.

6:09 am: During this new interrogation, Domessin's former dog handler, indicted for the murder of Maëlys, the murder of Arthur Noyer and the sexual assault of a first little cousin, must be questioned in the wake of the discovery of a second damning video in his mobile phones.

As we mentioned on November 23rd, the gendarmes extracted a new video just as terrible as the first one. "This video is very explicit. We see a hand engaging in sexual touching on a girl. However, there is no digital penetration. Nordahl Lelandais is perfectly identifiable," explained a source close to the investigation to the Dauphiné Libéré.

The gendarmes then investigated the "environmental elements" of the video. That's how they were able to identify the little victim. She is another little cousin of Nordahl Lelandais, only 4 years old at the time of the incident.

The assault was allegedly committed in the summer of 2017, at the child's home in the south of France. That's a few weeks before the other assault on the 7-year-old cousin.

This attack was filmed by the thirty-something, at his home in Domessin, one week to the day before the kidnapping and murder of Maëlys, on the night of 26 to 27 August 2017 in Pont-de-Beauvoisin.

9:51 am: This Friday morning, Nordahl Lelandais shall be taken from his cell in Saint-Quentin-Fallavier to be questioned once again by the Grenoble judges in charge of the Maëlys case.

9:58 am: Alain Jakubowicz, Nordahl Lelandais' lawyer, has just rushed into the courthouse in the presence of his colleague.

10:58 am: "These two videos of sexual assault on two cousins aged 4 and 6 at the time of the incident show us that Nordahl Lelandais is more of a sexual predator than a serial killer. And that he kills when one resists him," Caroline Rémond, lawyer for the parents of the two young victims, told the Dauphiné Libéré.
The Parisian criminal lawyer also wishes to acknowledge the work of the investigators who managed to "exhume" these damning videos on Nordahl Lelandais' phone after he had erased them. "How many new victims will we discover in this way? At least that is the fear of the parents of the two girls who had great confidence in their cousin. The parents of the 4-year-old girl had even chosen him to be the godfather. They are traumatized, devastated. No previous paedophile criminal behaviour had alerted them to this hidden face of their cousin."

12:16 pm: The interrogation of Nordahl Lelandais has just ended. Master Alain Jakubowicz and his associate have just left the courthouse... he did not wish to answer the journalists' questions.

Nordahl Lelandais convoqué par les juges pour une vidéo d’attouchements sexuels sur sa filleule

He is getting to know the road between the prison and the courthouse.... Nordahl Lelandais was extracted on Friday from the Saint-Quentin-Fallavier prison (Isère) to answer questions from the Grenoble investigating judges, 20 Minutes was told by a source close to the case. Already indicted for the murder of little Maëlys and the murder of Corporal Arthur Noyer, the former dog-handler should, this Friday, be questioned about new allegations of sexual assaults.

While searching his mobile phone, investigators discovered videos suggesting that he may have touched several little girls in his family. On July 4, he was charged after discovering a video on which a hand was seen spreading the underpants of a sleeping girl who was none other than her cousin, then 6 years old.

It is because of the discovery of another video that he is summoned this Friday. In late November, several sources confirmed that investigators found another video on his phone showing Nordahl Lelandais abusing his goddaughter, the daughter of a close friend. "This video was taken in 2017 before the one where he was seen with his 6-year-old cousin," according to Yves Crespin, the lawyer who defends the girls' parents, speaking to 20 Minutes this Friday.

"So we can imagine that the judges summoned him to question him about the discovery of this video... ", the lawyer continues. Depending on the evidence they have gathered, Nordahl Lelandais could be charged with "sexual assault" and "child *advertiser censored* image capture". Above all, the magistrates will try to find out whether the former dog-handler did broadcast this video to other people or on specialized sites. If this is the case, he could also be charged with "dissemination of child *advertiser censored* images."

"The defence lawyer had publicly said that Nordahl Lelandais had no paedophile inclinations," Fabien Rajon, Maëlys' parents' lawyer explained after the discovery of the first video, on BFM TV in July. If he is indeed indicted [for this type of fact], this would weaken his defence."

Yves Crespin agrees. "The discovery of these videos gives a new dimension to the whole Lelandais affair," he says. The gendarmes spent time checking to ensure that he had not committed any further murders. They will probably have to look into suspicions of sexual assault."

Although Nordahl Lelandais' psychiatric expertise, which 20 Minutes was able to consult, had not revealed any particular paedophile tendencies, the lawyer points out that the Lelandais family is "a very large family with many young children."

Nordahl Lelandais mis en examen dans une nouvelle affaire d'agression sexuelle sur mineure

Nordahl Lelandais has been indicted for sexual assault on a minor. According to concurring sources, this indictment concerns the sexual touching of a little girl who was four years old at the time of the incident.

Extracted from his cell in Saint-Quentin-Fallavier on Friday morning, the former dog handler was again questioned this Friday by the Grenoble judges in charge of the case after the discovery of a new video of touching a child in his mobile phones. Lelandais is already under investigation for the murder of Maëlys, the murder of Arthur Noyer and the sexual assault on a first little cousin.

Thank you for the updates ZaZara!

I will add this indictment to my list.

So when do they actually go to trial for all these indictments? Seems like it's been awhile. Probably still investigating the other "maybe" murders...

Nordahl Lelandais admitted to having attractions for children


Last Friday, Nordahl Lelandais was confronted with this new video of sexual assault on his 4-year-old cousin. The video had been erased on his mobile phone but found by the experts of the gendarmerie. Questioned by the investigating judges of Grenoble, the main suspect in Maëlys' murder, admitted to these acts committed in the summer of 2017 in the south of France. That is, a few weeks before the attack on another cousin, 6 years old at the time, and then the kidnapping and murder of Maëlys.

According to information from the Dauphiné Libéré, the thirty-something man from Domessin admitted in particular that he had "for some time" been attracted to children and had paedophilic tendencies. "I didn't really make the difference between a woman and a child," he told the investigating judges.

"Nordahl Lelandais' unbridled sexuality is the key to his criminal career. The murder of Corporal Noyer and the two sexual assaults on two of his cousins bring an obvious colour to the Maëlys case," according to a source close to the case. During this interrogation on Friday, the former dog handler was charged with "sexual assault on a minor under 15 years of age" and "recording of child *advertiser censored* images."

With these new evidence, the Grenoble investigating judges could order a new psychiatric expertise. The first was carried out before the confession of 14 February 2018, the date on which Nordahl Lelandais led the judges to the remains of Maëlys, abandoned in a stone quarry at the foot of Mont Grêle in Attignat-Oncin (Savoie).

En Isère, la famille du disparu Malik Boutvillain reçue par un juge d'instruction

Malik Boutvillain disappeared from Echirolles near Grenoble in 2012. This case was closed without further action two years later. But the family's lawyer, who is also Corporal Noyer's lawyer, brought the investigation back to life. First meeting with the investigating judge on 13 December. 6 years after the facts.

Malik Boutvillain, 32 years old, disappeared from Echirolles near Grenoble on May 6, 2012. A case closed without further action 2 years later for lack of offence.

His family has been looking for him ever since. The Nordahl Lelandais case has rekindled their attention, like that of many other families of missing persons in the Alps. Who might have crossed the path of Nordahl Lelandais.

At the beginning of this year, the Boutvillain family therefore filed a new complaint against X for "kidnapping and sequestration."

Their lawyer, Bernard Boulloud, is also the lawyer of Corporal Arthur Noyer, one of Nordahl Lelandais' alleged victims.

For him, in 2012, the investigation was done "with the means at hand." "It was the family who had to do the neighborhood investigation, I regret that there was no investigation. We lost six years of evidence."

For the first time, on 13 December, the family was received by an investigating judge. A judge in this matter. Who took the time to listen to Malik's relatives. For more than two hours.

But so far no new leads have been detected. A disappointment on when it comes to the content, but a satisfaction thanks to the form.

Dalila Boutvillain was told by the police to go looking for her brother herself. Which she did, the images are in the video. She says: Malik is my little brother. If you family is not looking for you, who will?

The Maëlys disappears and all of a sudden there are sniffer dogs, boats, search parties.... everything that wasn't there for Malik.

Nordahl Lelandais disposait d'un troisième téléphone resté introuvable


Nordahl Lelandais was in possession of a third mobile phone, the Dauphiné Libéré has heard from a confirmed source. This third device was never found.

According to information from the Dauphiné Libéré, the main suspect in Maëlys' murder had not only one phone, nor two, but three devices.

According to a source close to the case, Domessin's ex-military got rid of it shortly after the marriage during which he kidnapped Maëlys.

The thirty-something would have been seen getting rid of it by throwing it into the waters of the Guiers. This information was reportedly brought to the attention of the investigators too late.

Not only did the searches prove unsuccessful, but the place indicated by the witness was filled with rocks in the fall of 2017, in the weeks following the girl's abduction.

"Getting rid of a phone can only raise questions. Obviously, Nordahl Lelandais was trying, as he had done from the beginning, to hide evidence, just as he was scrubbing his Audi A3 for more than two hours the day after the wedding at the Pont-de-Beauvoisin car wash," confided a source near the file to the Dauphiné Libéré.
"In concrete terms, did Nordahl Lelandais film moments of that tragic night from August 27 to 28, 2017? As he did during his sexual assaults on his two little cousins, one week and one month respectively before the kidnapping and murder of Maëlys," this source continues.

During his initial custody, on the Thursday following the girl's abduction, Nordahl Lelandais had already voluntarily masked the existence of a second telephone line in his name, justifying this "omission" because of a termination of this line requested before the marriage.

The gendarmes' investigations had shown that this termination had in fact been requested on the Monday following the terrible night.


BBM


According to France Soir,

The suspect admitted his paedophile tendencies in front of an investigating judge. Addictions that he linked "to a context of alcohol and drug use"


BBM


Even though NL admitted his paedophile tendencies, we should remember that his first known victim was Arthur Noyer, a young soldier. There were more stories of NL harassing other men, and posing as gay. The attack on Arthur Noyer also happened in a context of alcohol and drug use.

Makes one wonder if he filmed more than little girls.

Nordahl Lelandais justifie son comportement pédophile par l'alcool et la drogue

(...) But according to the lawyer for the families of the two little girls, Nordahl Lelandais should be seen more as a "sexual predator". In the Arthur Noyer case, there was also the suggestion of a sexual refusal that was mentioned.

"Nordahl Lelandais' unbridled sexuality is the key to his criminal career. The murder of Corporal Noyer and the two sexual assaults on two of his cousins brought an obvious hint of colour to the Maëlys case," a source close to the case analyzed in Le Dauphiné Libéré.

Nordahl Lelandais has always denied that he sexually assaulted little Maëlys. During the reconstruction of the facts last September, he slightly changed his version of the child's death. Until now, he had told of slapping the child in the face and then finding that she was no longer alive. In September, he finally reported that he had given "at least 4 or 5 blows" to Maëlys. The autopsy results did not allow to rule out or study the possibility of the attack, as the body had remained out in the open in the mountains for several weeks.

According to a source close to the case cited by the AFP, Nordahl Lelandais assured the magistrate that these two attacks on his little cousins were his first time moving to acting out. According to L'Express, however, he told the magistrates that he had already felt an attraction for little girls "when he was younger." Similarly, he reportedly explained that he had deleted the videos because he knew "that it was not right."

The lawyer for both families now fears further discoveries, because until then, "the former soldier only confessed once when he was cornered by evidence."

"We know that the investigators are still working, that they are chronologically reassemble his laptop," she added. According to Le Dauphiné Libéré, these new elements should lead the Grenoble judges in charge of the case to order a new psychological expertise from Nordahl Lelandais.

I highly doubt that - first bold. So - when he was younger... might be some missing girls way back when??

Why even video tape these assaults?? disgusting person....

and wanted to say

Merry Christmas! everyone here!

So - no further court dates? Probably nothing until mid January, eh?

I am looking forward to them locking this vile creature up, and throwing away the key. But it is very important to try and clear some of the other missing person cases, while it is still possible. I can't imagine how painful it must be, to not know what happened to a missing loved one.

I am pretty sure that this creep is responsible for some of these other tragic cases. JMO

Une mère lance en direct un appel bouleversant à son fils disparu dans "Crimes et faits divers" sur NRJ 12: "Tu m'avais promis de ne jamais me laisser seule" - VIDEO

On May 6, 2012, this 32-year-old man disappeared without a trace in Echirrolles. Gone jogging one Sunday morning, Malik would never return to his mother's home where he had been living since a short while. His loved ones fought hard to find him. But after two years of investigation, the case was closed without further action.

But in 2017, a twist! The investigation into Malik's disappearance is relaunched following the revelation of the Nordahl Lelandais case. The young man could have crossed paths with the former dog-handler indicted for the murder of Maëlys and the murder of Arthur Noyer. A new hope for Malik's family.

Badra Boutvillain, Malik's mother, was live on the set of the daily "Crimes et faits divers" with her daughter. She sent a message to her son. "I want to tell him: Malik, I love you very much. Give us a sign, call us. Just a sign, please," said the mother, in tears.

She added: "If you don't want to, we respect you. Let us know how you are doing. I can't take it anymore, I can't take it anymore... I'm at the end of my rope. Please, my son. I love you very much and you know it. You made me a promise. You always told me: 'Mom, I'll never leave you alone.' I'm holding on, I'm holding on... I admit it's too hard, I'm living a nightmare awake. Maybe someone knows. Please, clear your conscience, tell us! It's a whole family that suffers."


BBM

Malik's mother also mentions Eric Foray, Stephane Chemin, Adrien Fiorello, Christophe Morin, Nicolas Suppo. "We [ the families] are united in the same grief".

In the interview, the mother is asked if she thinks Malik is still alive. She says she feels 50 - 50 about that, "we have nothing". "Maybe yes, maybe not."

Dalila, his sister, does not think he is still alive, apart from a tiny sliver of hope, because "he would have let us know, he would never have left our mother."

 

[ZaZara]

Not much happening here that reaches the press.

The Ariane cell should be ready or almost with their investigations by now, but nothing has transpired sofar.

The only news is about Estelle Mouzin. Her father has filed a complaint against the French State, for negligence of sorts, if I quote well. The core of the complaint would be that in Estelle's case, LE works from incident to incident, a scattershot MO, whereas in Maëlys case a more structural and wider apporach is used with the Ariane cell (who excluded Nordahl Lelandais in the disappearance of Estelle).
