This time, we no longer talk about a "simple" kidnapping anymore. Nordhal Lelandais, 34, suspected of kidnapping Maëlys on 27 August at a wedding to which he had invited himself, was indicted on Thursday for "murder preceded by a crime" after his hearing before the investigating magistrates. Even if the girl's body hasn't been found yet. 20 Minutes takes stock of the information provided on Thursday evening by the Public Prosecutor of Grenoble.
A precise chronology of the night. The suspect's schedule for the evening of Maëlys' disappearance was scrutinized, and "the investigators set out to give a precise chronology of the evening and night," according to Jean-Yves Coquillat, the public prosecutor. Their investigations were based on testimonies "to be taken with reservation", on videos extracted from the surveillance cameras of the commune of Pont-de-Beauvoisin and on analyses carried out on a Nordhal Lelandais telephone "which he had forgotten to mention during his first hearing."
It was therefore determined that the former soldier had made three return trips in the evening between the party hall and his home and a one-way trip to his home. The first two were made from 9:49 pm to 10:08 pm and then from 10:33 pm to 11:09 pm, i. e. before the child's disappearance. The third was done at 2:47 a. m., only two minutes after Maëlys vanished.
Maëlys removed in 37 minutes. Investigators are formal on one point: the girl disappeared at 2:45 a. m. on the night of August 26-27." At 2:46 and 12 seconds, Nordhal Lelandais puts his phone in plane mode,"the prosecutor continues. A minute later, his vehicle was spotted on one of the cameras in downtown Pont-de-Beauvoisin." There's a small figure on the front passenger seat. She is wearing a white dress and has loose brown hair,"says Jean-Yves Coquillat.
Half an hour later, at precisely 3:24 a. m. and 29 seconds later, the Audi A3 goes back in the opposite direction. "This time the driver is alone." At 3h25 and 58 seconds, Nordhal Lelandais deactivates the airplane mode. His phone will be pinged down by a relay cell near the party hall. Which indicates the suspect is back at the wedding. He'll be home definitively at 3:57, shutting down his cell phone again.
The little girl was indeed in the car. Here again, investigators are formal on this point. "The photos extracted from the videotapes (which were broadcast to the press) are much less accurate than the video itself. We're not talking about a white spot, but a silhouette that we can clearly see," the prosecutor said. For him, there is no doubt: this is Maëlys. "We can say that it's her. We don't know who else it could be," he replied, adding that the suspect never mentioned that he had been robbed of his car." He simply replied that at that time he was in the party hall, tired and resting in his vehicle.
Another certainty: the Audi we see on video surveillance is the one of the thirty-something, even if here again, the suspect denies the evidence. "We prove by various expertises that this is his car. Details show it: stickers, rims but also a lack of lighting on the rear part," Jean-Yves Coquillat sums up. And adds:"Everything is consistent."
The girl missing forever? "This case will not be completely resolved until the child is found. It will be difficult to find... her body, let's say it now, if we don't know where to look. It is not certain that we will manage to do so," the prosecutor said, indicating that the investigation is continuing.
During his hearing Nordhal Lelandais firmly denied everything,"speaking calmly in cold blood" even when confronted with surveillance camera footage." His lawyers have not made any observations either. The suspect now risks life in prison, but until then "he enjoys the presumption of innocence," the prosecutor concludes.
The lawyer for Maëlys's parents, who spoke to BFMTV, explained that they were "waiting for a confession" and were therefore "angry and disappointed." "They had until now been convinced that there were overwhelming charges" against the suspect.
