"He dumped my daughter like trash"

One year after the drama, the parents of the ill-fated Maëlys confide in BFMV TV. Jennifer and Joachim de Araujo do not believe Nordahl Lelandais' theory of accidental death and deplore the repeated lies of the main suspect in this case.

"He thinks we're fools. There are only lies. He's been telling lies all along," the parents of Maëlys, the girl who was murdered, hammered. "You don't take a child in your car at 3 in the morning accidentally," the girl's father says.

For a year, Maëlys' family has been waiting for the truth. They feel like they're being manipulated. "We want him to take responsibility for his actions, to stop taking us for fools, and to finally say what really happened," says Jennifer de Araujo.


And Maëlys' mother continues. "This is the worst crime he's ever committed, he killed a child. He said that he did not have a paedophile tendency, one begins to doubt it, with his indictment for the sexual assault of his small cousin, occurred one week before the marriage. (...) He dumped my daughter like trash in the bushes, this means that we found bones degraded by time and by animals. I think he did it voluntarily to erase all the evidence."

Nordahl Lelandais "m'a manipulée" : la famille de Maëlys se confie

"He told me he hadn't seen her, he looked relaxed"

After the white march in honour of little Maëlys, one year to the day after her disappearance, the parents and sister of the girl killed also insisted on testifying on BFMTV to "denounce a hostage-taking": He [the alleged murderer Nordahl Lelandais] is still full of lies.

"We want to know the truth. (...) He thinks we are fools and we want him to take responsibility for his actions," they also demanded. "And let no one forget our daughter, let her be in the hearts of all French people."

The girl's mother, Jennifer Cleyet-Marrel, recalled when, during the evening, her child asked her if she could "go see the dogs of her boyfriend", Nordahl Lelandais. "I asked her where her boyfriend was because I thought it was weird that there were dogs at a wedding. She says to me 'he's here'. He was in the party room at the wedding table. He was sat."

In the middle of the night, as she begins to look for her daughter, she tries to find him. "I was looking for him all over the room, I said 'where is the one who wears the blue shirt, who has the dogs'. I didn't know his name, I didn't know his name. He told me he hadn't seen her, totally relaxed. (...) He manipulated me and lied to me."

Maëlys' relatives also thanked the investigators and the many comforting testimonies received from relatives and anonymous people. "We received a lot of support. Lots of children's drawings. I kept everything."


A year ago Maëlys disappeared during a wedding party in Pont-de-Beauvoisin in Isère. The alleged murderer Nordahl Lelandais, a last-minute guest at the festivities, made a very partial confession six months later.

A few hours before the white march and the release of balloons in homage to the little girl, her family spoke out on RTL.

Maëlys' older sister, Coleen, 12, expresses her gratitude to all the people who help the family through this ordeal: "I tell myself that we are not all alone thanks to the support of people, on the Internet I receive messages every day. We're together, in solidarity and that's what gives me strength, courage and helps us move forward."

She also confides in her solitude after a year without Maëlys: "I find myself all alone from one day to the next it was super difficult. Fortunately there are my parents, they were just exceptional with me. The three of us move forward together."

As Nordahl Lelandais no longer explains the reasons for his deeds, Coleen stresses: "It saddens me and it also upsets me. I tell myself he's not thinking about us. I'm 12 years old, I think that at 12, he didn't have this life, he wasn't affected like me. He's got his brother, he's got to think about us."

Maëlys' mother, Jennifer Cleyet-Marrel, believes that Nordahl Lelandais, who was charged with murder in this case, "forced" her 8-year-old daughter into the car. "We know our daughter, we know she would never get in the car on her own. In my opinion, he forced her, scared her or threatened her," she explains.

She adds: "He had prepared this action. Previously, he had already murdered Arthur Noyer and a week before, he had committed a sexual assault on his 6-year-old cousin. For me, he came to the wedding wanting to do something bad. He may not have known who he was going to take, but he had calculated his act very well (...) For me, it was a premeditated act. Nothing is proven yet but that' s my feeling."

"Nordahl Lelandais peut encore parler, avant que la justice et la science ne parlent pour lui", estime l'avocat des parents d'Arthur Noyer

"Nordahl Lelandais may still speak out before science and justice speak for him"


"Every day, these families imagine a scenario of the death of their loved one," Bernard Boulloud, lawyer for Arthur Noyer's family and the families of several other missing persons, told franceinfo on Monday 27 August. A white march in memory of Maëlys was organised at the start of Pont-de-Beauvoisin (Isère), one year after her disappearance.

Nordahl Lelandais, indicted for the murder of the little girl, is also indicted for the murder of Corporal Arthur Noyer. The lawyer hopes that Nordahl Lelandais will explain the circumstances of Arthur Noyer's murder. "I hope that Mr. Lelandais, from the bottom of his cell, with the passage of time, finds pity for the families."

franceinfo : Do you have more information on the investigation into the death of Arthur Noyer since Nordahl Lelandais was implicated in this case?

Bernard Boulloud: Yes, I have new information since Arthur's body was returned to his family. This information shall remain confidential under professional and investigative secrecy. (...) It will allow, during a future interrogation, which I hope will be quick, to better understand how Arthur died. It may also make it possible to rewrite the statements made by [Nordahl Lelandais], the person indicted on 29 March. It'll help us figure out a little bit about how Arthur died.

Are you hoping Nordahl Lelandais will be cooperative during this interrogation?

I assume that in every man, even the worst, there is always something good. I hope that Mr. Lelandais, from the bottom of his cell, with the time that has passed, finds pity for the families of Maëlys and Arthur Noyer. If that is the case, I think he can speak and he can still tell us how it happened to save the justice system from long and costly scientific investigations. It would be in his best interest before science and justice speak for him. I hope that he will do so in the days and weeks to come since families suffer enormously from not knowing how their loved one died. It is something unimaginable. These families, every day, imagine a scenario of the death of their loved one. If Mr. Lelandais can understand that this should end quickly so that families can begin to mourn, even if we never stop mourning a child, (...) I think he should.

You are also the lawyer for the families of several missing persons. Have these other investigations also advanced in the light of the "Nordahl Lelandais affair"?

There will be a before and an after Lelandais. The Lelandais case allowed us to reopen certain cases that were more than seven years old for some, the two Drôme cases [the disappearance of Nelly Balmain and Eric Foray, in 2011 and 2016], and the Malik Boutvillain case in Grenoble which also dates back over six years. I hope that we will find something, that we will awaken memories but it will be difficult, especially considering that we have a six or seven year handicap to catch up on. However, the investigating judges and investigators who are on these cases are really working hard. I think we're going to get somewhere, but it will be difficult.

One year later, the poignant testimony of Maëlys' parents

Interview with Joachim and Jennifer de Araujo for LCI


Since that night of August 27 to 28, 2018, the couple says they live "in parallel with this investigation." "We are always in pain and suffering, we try to move forward for our daughter and for justice to be done to her," he confides. On a daily basis, the little girl's absence is heavy and painful: "We have trouble sleeping, we always think about her. Her things are still in place, in the same place. We live with memories. We miss her. At the table, her chair is empty. She is with us in our hearts but we cannot manage this passage to mourn our child. It's difficult."

The night of the disappearance, " I had a hunch. My mother's instincts tell me something happened, she couldn't have run away. She couldn't have been unwell, I tell myself she was abducted, that's for sure. We thought about it right away. We looked at everything," says Jennifer de Araujo. "I am convinced that he came (editor's note: Nordahl Lelandais) to do harm. That he was a predator," she continues.

"When I saw Nordahl Lelandais again (editor's note: at the beginning of the search, after an initial encounter early in the evening) and he told me that he had not seen my daughter, I believed him. I'm thinking maybe she was in his car, in the trunk, already... I don't know, I don't know. I feel guilty because I believed him," says Maëlys' mother. "And then I didn't see my daughter at a critical moment."

For months, Nordahl Lelandais takes the investigators and the little girl's parents for a ride, remaining silent. Then, on February 14, after the discovery of a drop of blood in his car, he cracks and leads the investigators to where he hid the body. "We found out around 6pm that they had found our daughter (...) The dogs discovered the bones. With the drop of blood, we knew there was little chance she was alive," the couple explains.

While wanting to qualify certain things: "We must make a difference. They said they found Maelys, but for me," explains Joachim de Araujo, "they found the bones, a skull. Her body is so degraded that we don't know the exact cause of her death. It took several weeks to rebuild it, it has to be told." One thing is certain, for them, one day, "we will know the truth". "I'd like to tell him that he takes responsibility for his actions. If he is a man, as his lawyer said, let him acknowledge his actions and assume responsibility. Let him stop torturing us. We'll always be there for our daughter and fight for her to the end.

Today, their lives are "turned upside down". Both for their eldest daughter, Colleen, and for them. "He broke our plan, our life," they say. So they chose to get married, so he wouldn't "win" and "choose our life".
"We did it in a small committee, with my sister and my parents," says Maëlys' mother. "We got married on June 23, 2018, so I could have the same name as my daughter."

Interesting! "Two cases with very different victims...." so true, though they both looked a lot like his former GF. Slender. Dark hair, dark eyes and fine eyebrows.

In 800 cases out of 900+ they found no link!
Cher Général Lecouffe, Niner has a list, could you please indicate the cases that show no involvement of Nordahl Lelandais? Thank you!

 

[Niner]

I'll post the whole thing just in case someone missed the last one. Purple are the excluded ones.

NL - Indicted for these murders
Investigation of NL connected to these cases.
Families requested investigation.
NL excluded from these cases.
Families at Lyon meeting 4/27/18. 5/18/18 update: The families of the missing will meet again in September, 2018 to review the investigations.

Nordahl Lelandais in April 2001, he joined the 132nd dog battalion of Suippes (Marne). He had enlisted for five years, he only lasted four, and was struck off in April 2005. Re another article says: He will have had time to obtain a basic certificate of dog handler, to perform two missions of four month was stationed in Suippes (Marne), in the 132nd Army Dog Battalion, between 2002 and 2007.

The ex-military is "noticed" in October 2008, with two accomplices, engaging in a battle of eggs and fruits in a supermarket, by burning tricolor flags, and a restaurant in Paladru (Isère). He will be sentenced to one year in prison, but received a sentence adjustment.
Under an electronic bracelet starting April 2009. He was released on parole in October 2010.
Per Twitter reporter: He was never effectively in prison, he 'served' 12 months with an ankle bracelet (April 2009 to April 2010). Reporter: Le Midi Libre published an article with the testimony of a friend of Lelandais. He tells that the latter regularly came to Montpellier to party between 2008 and 2012.

Wondering "what" day he was released from ankle bracelet, as Adrien Fiorello was killed; was he anxious to kill again on the 6th?

Estelle Mouzin, 9, disappeared on 9 January 2003 in Guermantes (Seine-et-Marne), around 6 pm between her house and her school. Nordahl Lelandais was 19 years old, he was at the military camp of Suippes (Marne), 150 kilometers away but was sent on a mission to the East at the time of the disappearance.
In the Estelle Mouzin case, it was enough for the investigators to question the army to learn that he was on a mission in Guyana at the time of the girl's disappearance in 2003 in Seine-et-Marne. Excluded: File is closed.

Nordahl started his dog training business in Chambéry in February 2010, business can be placed near the Chambéry train station starting in 2010. According to Google Maps, it is only 550 meters away: a 7 minute walk, or a 3 minute drive. The Chambéry train station was said to be the last location where Adrien Fiorello's phone pinged. The head office of this company was located 317 rue Nicolas Parent - 73000 Chambery

In 2010, Nordahl Lalandais:
*was on ankle monitor from April 2009 to January 2010
The articles I could find just say that he was condemned to 1 year of ankle bracelet at the end of April 2009. However, pursuant to the Criminal procedure code, there is an automatic 3-month reduction of sentence for the first year (and more if the person has a job prospect or resumes studies, the goal being reinsertion). It means that NL was probably without his ankle bracelet end of January 2010 at the latest.

*was somewhere with an ankle monitor from April 2009 to January 2010

*registered the start of his dog training company in Chambéry in February 2010

*became depressed and passed a while in the psychiatric hospital in Chambéry OR was an out-patient from 2012 to 2013.

Rachid Rameche, disappeared in 2009 June 10, in Bassens (Savoie) while he was in a psychiatric institution. He withdrew the amount of his adult disability benefits before he disappeared. He was staying in the same centre that Lucie Roux and Nordahl Lelandais attended between 2012 and 2013.
Request from family to investigate. At the beginning of the year (2018), the file on the death of his daughter was transmitted to a cell of the national gendarmerie, established to work on Nordhal Lelandais.
Family at 4/27/18 Lyon meeting.
Rachid was seen and identified in Strasbourg in 2009 after his disappearance. He may be in Belgium where he was fined in 2009 and 2014.

Coralie Moussu - the autopsy of the body of the 32-year-old woman, found in the Rhône in December, reveals that she did not drown. The investigators are back to square one and are now focusing on the criminal track. Coralie Moussu's car, a black Nissan Micra with 2899 YZ 30 registration, car has never been found. The young woman was last seen inside this vehicle on the morning of November 6,2009. She had just dropped her daughter off at her mother's house for two hours, while she was preparing the exam to take a CAP [Certificate of Professional Competence] early childhood.
Now on list for investigation.

Adrien Fiorello, a 22-year-old student who disappeared on 6 October 2010 in Firminy (Loire) while he was on his way to the university in Chambéry (Savoie). The young man's cell phone last pinged in Chambéry (train station) at 5:37 p.m. on October 6, 2010. We don't know if it was ever physically located. Chambéry is where Nordahl Lelandais had a dog breeding business at that time. He was supposed to be in Saint-Étienne, not Chambéry, the day he vanished. Saint-Étienne is where he went to university classes. How his phone ended up in Chambéry is still a mystery. The two cities are about 150 kilometers apart.
3/19/18 Update: According to information from BFM TV, the gendarmes will investigate the disappearance of Adrien Fiorello after the prosecutor's office in Saint-Etienne requested the prosecutor's office in Chambéry to formally attach the file.

Lucie Roux, 43, disappears on 16 September 2012 while residing in the psychiatric centre in Bassens in Chambéry (Savoie). She was treated from 2006 to 2012 at Bassens for depression and had 3 roommates. And it seems that Nordahl Lelandais was followed by the medical-psychological center of Chambéry from 2012 to 2013. The 43 years old, this woman [Lucie Roux] was due to leave the psychiatric hospital of Bassens in the months to come. On September 16, 2012,
Lucie had not told her three roommates where she wanted to go. Equipped with a small backpack, she left without her mobile phone, papers or credit card. The investigation showed that the day before she went to a DIY store to buy plywood boards, nails and screws in cash before being taken by taxi to the Monts district in Chambéry in a forest. That's where the investigators lost track of her. She had returned home in the evening without the equipment before disappearing the next day "between 4 and 7 pm".
January, 2018 Request from family to investigate.
This week (4/21/18), the Roux family's lawyer, Me Christian Saint-André, wrote to the public prosecutor of Chambéry, Thierry Dran: "I was contacted by a friend of Lucie Roux. She says she's ready to testify to the investigators. According to her, Lucie had lunch several times before she disappeared, with another friend and Nordahl Lelandais. These meals would have been taken in a common area of the hospital." The lawyer considered the information serious enough to alert the court.
4/26/18: The lawyer for this woman's family recently wrote to the public prosecutor of Chambéry, Thierry Dran: according to a testimony he received, the disappeared woman was hospitalized in the same place as Nordahl Lelandais between 2012 and 2013 and, from the same source, they had lunch together several times in this hospital.

Lucas Tronche, then 15 years old, had disappeared on 18 March 2015, at 5.10 pm, Lucas had planned to go on his kick scooter to a bus stop in the commune of Bagnols-sur-Cèze, where he would take a coach to the public swimming pool in Laudun-l’Ardoise for swimming practice with his 17-year-old brother, Valentin. Valentin left before Lucas, expecting Lucas to join him at the bus stop. Lucas left the family home and locked the door but did not turn up at the bus stop. Valentin attempted to contact Lucas at around 5.30 pm, but Lucas’s mobile phone was switched off. Technical analysis would later reveal that Lucas’s phone was turned off at 5.14 pm, a few minutes before he left the house. Lucas left without his swimming gear, but did leave with a rucksack containing very few items. He did not take any money, a sleeping bag or a knife with him – items that, as a keen scout with a good knowledge of outdoor survival, he would have known to take if he had been planning to leave home. His intentions after leaving the house remain unknown.

2/27/18: Checks on the telephone and bank accounts of Nordahl Lelandais were to be carried out in connection with the disappearance of Lucas Tronche in Bagnols-sur-Cèze. Indeed, as we revealed at the end of December, 2017, the suspect has family in the Gard, not far from Bagnols. This week, we learn from our Ebdo colleagues that no link on the telephony side can be connected to Nordahl Lelandais in Lucas' disappearance. And according to the regional daily newspaper, the mobile phone data indicated the presence of the alleged killer of Maëlys in Isère that day. There is nothing to date that can link Nordahl Lelandais to Lucas, Antoine Zoia or Coralie Moussu, the boss of the Nîmes public prosecutor's office confirms.

"Karine (not her real name) and Nordahl met in May 2015 through a dating site. Both are passionate about dogs. Nordahl presents himself as a "warrior" who was in the Legion. A lie. Karine falls under his spell. Lelandais tells her that she is the love of his life, that he even wants to have children with her. But Karine soon realizes that he is cheating on her with other women. And in December 2016, she decides to break up. Lelandais takes this very badly.

Monique Thibert, 62, councillor of Hauteville, suddenly disappeared during a hike on 2 June 2015. However, the facts did not occur on our territory, but in the Grand Morgon massif, in the Hautes Alpes. Monique was a bit ahead of the group she was part of, and the alert was given very quickly. Despite the deployment of a very vast search operation on a clearly identified territory, she was never found. Tuesday around 14:30-15:00. She was hiking in the commune of Crots (Hautes Alpes) when she was lost from sight by her friends during the descent of the Grand Morgon, sector of the relay and the Barn. Crots, where Monique Thibert disappeared, is 200 kms south of Chambéry. She lived in Hauteville Lompnes, in the Bugey area, (where Anne-Charlotte Poncin disappeared), 70 kms north of Chambéry.

Thomas Rauschkolb: Sunday (December 27, 2015) around 4:50 p.m., the father of an 18-year-old man contacted the gendarmes to report the disappearance of his son. The latter was last seen around 2:30 a.m., during the night from Saturday to Sunday while leaving the "Studio 54" nightclub in Grésy-sur-Aix. The young man left the nightclub, leaving behind his jacket. The gendarmes immediately established a search perimeter around the nightclub, especially to the bridge that spans the Sierroz at this location." Thomas R.'s body was found the next day, in the river. Grésy-sur-Aix is about 25 minutes north of Chambéry, by car. Curious fact: after leaving the nightclub, he takes the opposite direction and follows a dead end passageway. At the end of this alley, he stepped over a fence as he was maybe trying to escape something. In his race, he looses a shoe and falls 14 meters below. His belt was found caught in the grid on the garden side. Why has he taken off his belt? There were marks on his phalanges. As Jean-Christophe Morin, he seemed afraid of someone.

An investigation was launched to establish whether there could be a link between these two disappearances of teenage boys (Lucase Tronche) with similar characteristics from nearby locations in under a year.
Possible link; verification under way. Now on list for investigation.
5/11/18 update: There is nothing to date that can link Nordahl Lelandais to Lucas, Antoine or Coralie Moussu, the boss of the Nîmes public prosecutor's office confirms.

Ilhan Sahingoz, 39 years old missing from Albertville since 11 April 2016.

Olivier Charpe, 59, never returned from a mountain bike ride on 12 August 2016 in Saint-Romans (Isère).

Georgette Amat Chantoux (Georgette Bonnet), 79 years old, residing in Lumbin. She was reported missing in October 2016, but her phone had not been active since 9 September 2016. Georgette lived alone and had little contact with her family. According to the neighbours, she used go to the mountains to pick blueberries (not mushrooms) in the Belledonne Massif. Her car was found there, in a parking lot. It had been there for weeks. "In the Bonnet case, the only reason for the reopening of the investigation is the geographical proximity (a distance of about 15 kilometers) between the area of [her] disappearance and the places of discovery of Arthur Noyer's bones, in Montmélian, of which Nordahl Lelandais is suspected of murder."
Earlier: Probably not suspect; same region as NL; preliminary investigation. Now on list of: possible link; verification under way.

Éric Foray, 47, disappeared on 16 September 2016, shortly after noon, after he had recently done some shopping in Chatuzange-le-Goubet (Drôme). Request from family to investigate. Thursday 8 March 2018 from the prosecutor's office in Valence have opened & will explore this investigation. Now on list for invstigation.
4/9/18 update: A link has been established between Eric & NL. In NL's address book, investigators found the name of a family member of Eric's. The only connection that could link Eric Foray to Nordahl Lelandais is their respective jobs at some point in their lives. Eric was a representative in wine products and Nordahl Lelandais was a driver and delivery driver in a lemonade company that delivered water and spirits to restaurants and various businesses in the region.
The name found in a notebook of Nordahl Lelandais would be that of a cousin of the disappeared, according to France 3. It remains to be seen how and why Lelandais could have noted this surname. According to several media reports, the name of Eric Foray's cousin was discovered by investigators in Nordahl Lelandais' address book. But neither his family nor his companion seem to know this person.

End of relationship with Karine - December, 2016

Arthur Noyer, 23 years old, disappeared in 11-12 April 2017 in Chambéry. The night of the young soldier's disappearance, the mobile phones of Lelandais and the corporal triggered several relays in the Chambéry region at the same time. This supports the thesis that both men were traveling in the same car, namely the Audi A3 from Lelandais. The vehicle was filmed by a video surveillance camera in Chambéry. Arthur Noyer disappeared as he hitchhiked around 4 a. m. to get back to his barracks after a night spent in a disco. The investigators said he got into Nordahl Lelandeis' car. On February 5, 2018, Nordahl admitted to having picked him up without confessing that he had murdered him.
Indicted on 12/20/17 for this murder. 3/29/18 confessed to killing Noyer. During the hearing on 29 March NL spontaneously admitted that he gave a lift to Arthur who was very drunk (très alcoolisé). A fight erupted (BFM says that so far it is unknown if in the car or out), and NL violently punched Arthur who fell and died. Then NL transported Arthur body in a remote place.

Adrien Mourialmé, 24 years old, disappeared in 5 July 2017 on the shores of Lake Annecy (Haute-Savoie). The young man disappeared without taking his belongings. His bank account and phone have not been active since July 4th. He left most of his belongings at the hotel where he was working as a cook in Talloires-Montmin (Haute-Savoie), and vanished. 2/24/18: The study of telephony, in the case of the young cook, is completed. Paris Match has learned that it has given nothing. "Nor does it mean that Nordahl Lelandais was not on the scene," said Belgian family lawyer Stéphane Decamp. He could have turned off his phone well before the fact. Mr. Decamp hopes that the investigation will not be abandoned, despite this element." Found 9 months later on April 6, 2018 hanging from a tree in Talloires-Montmin.
Possible link; verification under way. Now on list for investigation. Prosecutors declare NL probably not involved with this crime.
4/9/18 Update: The public prosecutor's office in Annecy has not ruled out any possibility to date.
4/27/18: In this case, the body of the 24-year-old Belgian was found and the "criminal trail seems ruled out", reports L'Obs.

On July 18, 2017, a month before Maëlys' kidnapping, Nordahl becomes even more violent: "While driving his car, Lelandais sped up toward my client who was in her car, relates Gallo. She says she narrowly escaped the collision and an accident. Frightened, she decides to go to the authorities to file a complaint. But Lelandais tries to dissuade her. He follows her. "And when she arrives in front of the gendarmerie of Pont-de-Beauvoisin, Lelandais is already there," said Gallo.
But Karine does not give up. "The gendarmes took her complaint and the prosecutor's office in Chambéry filed the complaint as endangering the lives of others with immediate risk of death. Which is not minor!" exclaims Mr. Ronald Gallo, adding that this complaint has not had consequences.

Maëlys De Araujo, 9 years old, disappeared at Pont-de-Beauvoisin on 27 August 2017. Her bones were discovery on February 14 and 15 at the foot of Mont Grêle in Savoie.
Indicted for this murder on 9/3/17; 2/14/18 confessed to killing Maëlys "accidentally" and led investigators to her body in the woods of Attignat-Oncin, on the heights of Lake Aiguebelette (Savoie)

Nordahl Lelandais was indicted in the Arthur Noyer and Maëlys de Araujo cases, for which he pleaded responsiblity for an accident. He has not been implicated in any other case at this time.


The mission of this dedicated team consists of two stages. The first step is to take a closer look at Nordahl Lelandais' life course, interviewing all the judicial bases but also private service providers such as telephone operators, banks and insurance companies. In the jargon of the gendarmes, this work aims to "fix in time and space" the suspect. Concretely, it consists in finding his various addresses, the places he frequented, his employers, his friends, his banking movements, his old vehicles and mobile phones. Has it been checked anywhere? What gyms did he use? What nightclubs? The objective is to go back as far as possible in time.

The thousands of data collected will then be compared with the information available to investigators on all unsolved disappearance cases, through the AnaCrim software. This 360-strong unit was created in the 1990s, when Constable Jean-François Abgrall headed the investigation unit devoted to the "murder backpacker" Francis Heaulme. Since then, the system has made possible to implicate the serial killer Patrice Alègre for certain crimes and it was used to revive the case of little Gregory, in early 2017. AnaCrim makes it possible to create relational diagrams and chronologies, even when the protagonists of a file are very numerous.

Investigators have already been able to exclude Nordahl Lelandais' involvement in three cold cases: the disappearance of little Estelle Mouzin in 2003 in Guermantes (Seine-et-Marne), since he was on mission in French Guiana at that time; the Chevaline massacre in September 2012 in Savoie, and the disappearance of Lucas Tronche in March 2015 in the Gard. In this case, however, the courts are awaiting final results. "We have a number of elements that lead us to believe that he was not in the Gard at the time. But as long as we are not sure, it is an element on which we continue to work", the public prosecutor of Nîmes indicated.

I'll post the whole thing just in case someone missed the last one. Purple are the excluded ones.

NL - Indicted for these murders
Investigation of NL connected to these cases.
Families requested investigation.
NL excluded from these cases.
Families at Lyon meeting 4/27/18. 5/18/18 update: The families of the missing will meet again in September, 2018 to review the investigations.

Nordahl Lelandais in April 2001, he joined the 132nd dog battalion of Suippes (Marne). He had enlisted for five years, he only lasted four, and was struck off in April 2005. Re another article says: He will have had time to obtain a basic certificate of dog handler, to perform two missions of four month was stationed in Suippes (Marne), in the 132nd Army Dog Battalion, between 2002 and 2007.

The ex-military is "noticed" in October 2008, with two accomplices, engaging in a battle of eggs and fruits in a supermarket, by burning tricolor flags, and a restaurant in Paladru (Isère). He will be sentenced to one year in prison, but received a sentence adjustment.
Under an electronic bracelet starting April 2009. He was released on parole in October 2010.
Per Twitter reporter: He was never effectively in prison, he 'served' 12 months with an ankle bracelet (April 2009 to April 2010). Reporter: Le Midi Libre published an article with the testimony of a friend of Lelandais. He tells that the latter regularly came to Montpellier to party between 2008 and 2012.

Wondering "what" day he was released from ankle bracelet, as Adrien Fiorello was killed; was he anxious to kill again on the 6th?

Estelle Mouzin, 9, disappeared on 9 January 2003 in Guermantes (Seine-et-Marne), around 6 pm between her house and her school. Nordahl Lelandais was 19 years old, he was at the military camp of Suippes (Marne), 150 kilometers away but was sent on a mission to the East at the time of the disappearance.
In the Estelle Mouzin case, it was enough for the investigators to question the army to learn that he was on a mission in Guyana at the time of the girl's disappearance in 2003 in Seine-et-Marne. Excluded: File is closed.

Nordahl started his dog training business in Chambéry in February 2010, business can be placed near the Chambéry train station starting in 2010. According to Google Maps, it is only 550 meters away: a 7 minute walk, or a 3 minute drive. The Chambéry train station was said to be the last location where Adrien Fiorello's phone pinged. The head office of this company was located 317 rue Nicolas Parent - 73000 Chambery

In 2010, Nordahl Lalandais:
*was on ankle monitor from April 2009 to January 2010
The articles I could find just say that he was condemned to 1 year of ankle bracelet at the end of April 2009. However, pursuant to the Criminal procedure code, there is an automatic 3-month reduction of sentence for the first year (and more if the person has a job prospect or resumes studies, the goal being reinsertion). It means that NL was probably without his ankle bracelet end of January 2010 at the latest.

*was somewhere with an ankle monitor from April 2009 to January 2010

*registered the start of his dog training company in Chambéry in February 2010

*became depressed and passed a while in the psychiatric hospital in Chambéry OR was an out-patient from 2012 to 2013.

Rachid Rameche, disappeared in 2009 June 10, in Bassens (Savoie) while he was in a psychiatric institution. He withdrew the amount of his adult disability benefits before he disappeared. He was staying in the same centre that Lucie Roux and Nordahl Lelandais attended between 2012 and 2013.
Request from family to investigate. At the beginning of the year (2018), the file on the death of his daughter was transmitted to a cell of the national gendarmerie, established to work on Nordhal Lelandais.
Family at 4/27/18 Lyon meeting.
Rachid was seen and identified in Strasbourg in 2009 after his disappearance. He may be in Belgium where he was fined in 2009 and 2014.

Coralie Moussu - the autopsy of the body of the 32-year-old woman, found in the Rhône in December, reveals that she did not drown. The investigators are back to square one and are now focusing on the criminal track. Coralie Moussu's car, a black Nissan Micra with 2899 YZ 30 registration, car has never been found. The young woman was last seen inside this vehicle on the morning of November 6,2009. She had just dropped her daughter off at her mother's house for two hours, while she was preparing the exam to take a CAP [Certificate of Professional Competence] early childhood.
Now on list for investigation.

Adrien Fiorello, a 22-year-old student who disappeared on 6 October 2010 in Firminy (Loire) while he was on his way to the university in Chambéry (Savoie). The young man's cell phone last pinged in Chambéry (train station) at 5:37 p.m. on October 6, 2010. We don't know if it was ever physically located. Chambéry is where Nordahl Lelandais had a dog breeding business at that time. He was supposed to be in Saint-Étienne, not Chambéry, the day he vanished. Saint-Étienne is where he went to university classes. How his phone ended up in Chambéry is still a mystery. The two cities are about 150 kilometers apart.
3/19/18 Update: According to information from BFM TV, the gendarmes will investigate the disappearance of Adrien Fiorello after the prosecutor's office in Saint-Etienne requested the prosecutor's office in Chambéry to formally attach the file.

Lucie Roux, 43, disappears on 16 September 2012 while residing in the psychiatric centre in Bassens in Chambéry (Savoie). She was treated from 2006 to 2012 at Bassens for depression and had 3 roommates. And it seems that Nordahl Lelandais was followed by the medical-psychological center of Chambéry from 2012 to 2013. The 43 years old, this woman [Lucie Roux] was due to leave the psychiatric hospital of Bassens in the months to come. On September 16, 2012,
Lucie had not told her three roommates where she wanted to go. Equipped with a small backpack, she left without her mobile phone, papers or credit card. The investigation showed that the day before she went to a DIY store to buy plywood boards, nails and screws in cash before being taken by taxi to the Monts district in Chambéry in a forest. That's where the investigators lost track of her. She had returned home in the evening without the equipment before disappearing the next day "between 4 and 7 pm".

Valentin left before Lucas, expecting Lucas to join him at the bus stop. Lucas left the family home and locked the door but did not turn up at the bus stop. Valentin attempted to contact Lucas at around 5.30 pm, but Lucas’s mobile phone was switched off. Technical analysis would later reveal that Lucas’s phone was turned off at 5.14 pm, a few minutes before he left the house. Lucas left without his swimming gear, but did leave with a rucksack containing very few items. He did not take any money, a sleeping bag or a knife with him – items that, as a keen scout with a good knowledge of outdoor survival, he would have known to take if he had been planning to leave home. His intentions after leaving the house remain unknown.
Possible link; verification under way.
2/27/18: Checks on the telephone and bank accounts of Nordahl Lelandais were to be carried out in connection with the disappearance of Lucas Tronche in Bagnols-sur-Cèze. Indeed, as we revealed at the end of December, 2017, the suspect has family in the Gard, not far from Bagnols. This week, we learn from our Ebdo colleagues that no link on the telephony side can be connected to Nordahl Lelandais in Lucas' disappearance. And according to the regional daily newspaper, the mobile phone data indicated the presence of the alleged killer of Maëlys in Isère that day. There is nothing to date that can link Nordahl Lelandais to Lucas, Antoine Zoia or Coralie Moussu, the boss of the Nîmes public prosecutor's office confirms.

"Karine (not her real name) and Nordahl met in May 2015 through a dating site. Both are passionate about dogs. Nordahl presents himself as a "warrior" who was in the Legion. A lie. Karine falls under his spell. Lelandais tells her that she is the love of his life, that he even wants to have children with her. But Karine soon realizes that he is cheating on her with other women. And in December 2016, she decides to break up. Lelandais takes this very badly.

Thomas Rauschkolb: Sunday (December 27, 2015) around 4:50 p.m., the father of an 18-year-old man contacted the gendarmes to report the disappearance of his son. The latter was last seen around 2:30 a.m., during the night from Saturday to Sunday while leaving the "Studio 54" nightclub in Grésy-sur-Aix. The young man left the nightclub, leaving behind his jacket. The gendarmes immediately established a search perimeter around the nightclub, especially to the bridge that spans the Sierroz at this location." Thomas R.'s body was found the next day, in the river. Grésy-sur-Aix is about 25 minutes north of Chambéry, by car. Curious fact: after leaving the nightclub, he takes the opposite direction and follows a dead end passageway. At the end of this alley, he stepped over a fence as he was maybe trying to escape something. In his race, he looses a shoe and falls 14 meters below. His belt was found caught in the grid on the garden side. Why has he taken off his belt? There were marks on his phalanges. As Jean-Christophe Morin, he seemed afraid of someone.

Olivier Charpe, 59, never returned from a mountain bike ride on 12 August 2016 in Saint-Romans (Isère).

Georgette Amat Chantoux (Georgette Bonnet), 79 years old, residing in Lumbin. She was reported missing in October 2016, but her phone had not been active since 9 September 2016. Georgette lived alone and had little contact with her family. According to the neighbours, she used go to the mountains to pick blueberries (not mushrooms) in the Belledonne Massif. Her car was found there, in a parking lot. It had been there for weeks. "In the Bonnet case, the only reason for the reopening of the investigation is the geographical proximity (a distance of about 15 kilometers) between the area of [her] disappearance and the places of discovery of Arthur Noyer's bones, in Montmélian, of which Nordahl Lelandais is suspected of murder."
Earlier: Probably not suspect; same region as NL; preliminary investigation. Now on list of: possible link; verification under way.

Thursday 8 March 2018 from the prosecutor's office in Valence have opened & will explore this investigation. Now on list for invstigation.
4/9/18 update: A link has been established between Eric & NL. In NL's address book, investigators found the name of a family member of Eric's. The only connection that could link Eric Foray to Nordahl Lelandais is their respective jobs at some point in their lives. Eric was a representative in wine products and Nordahl Lelandais was a driver and delivery driver in a lemonade company that delivered water and spirits to restaurants and various businesses in the region.
The name found in a notebook of Nordahl Lelandais would be that of a cousin of the disappeared, according to France 3. It remains to be seen how and why Lelandais could have noted this surname. According to several media reports, the name of Eric Foray's cousin was discovered by investigators in Nordahl Lelandais' address book. But neither his family nor his companion seem to know this person.

End of relationship with Karine - December, 2016

Arthur Noyer, 23 years old, disappeared in 11-12 April 2017 in Chambéry. The night of the young soldier's disappearance, the mobile phones of Lelandais and the corporal triggered several relays in the Chambéry region at the same time. This supports the thesis that both men were traveling in the same car, namely the Audi A3 from Lelandais. The vehicle was filmed by a video surveillance camera in Chambéry. Arthur Noyer disappeared as he hitchhiked around 4 a. m. to get back to his barracks after a night spent in a disco. The investigators said he got into Nordahl Lelandeis' car. On February 5, 2018, Nordahl admitted to having picked him up without confessing that he had murdered him.
Indicted on 12/20/17 for this murder. 3/29/18 confessed to killing Noyer. During the hearing on 29 March NL spontaneously admitted that he gave a lift to Arthur who was very drunk (très alcoolisé). A fight erupted (BFM says that so far it is unknown if in the car or out), and NL violently punched Arthur who fell and died. Then NL transported Arthur body in a remote place.

Adrien Mourialmé, 24 years old, disappeared in 5 July 2017 on the shores of Lake Annecy (Haute-Savoie). The young man disappeared without taking his belongings. His bank account and phone have not been active since July 4th. He left most of his belongings at the hotel where he was working as a cook in Talloires-Montmin (Haute-Savoie), and vanished. 2/24/18: The study of telephony, in the case of the young cook, is completed. Paris Match has learned that it has given nothing. "Nor does it mean that Nordahl Lelandais was not on the scene," said Belgian family lawyer Stéphane Decamp. He could have turned off his phone well before the fact. Mr. Decamp hopes that the investigation will not be abandoned, despite this element." Found 9 months later on April 6, 2018 hanging from a tree in Talloires-Montmin.
Possible link; verification under way. Now on list for investigation. Prosecutors declare NL probably not involved with this crime.
4/9/18 Update: The public prosecutor's office in Annecy has not ruled out any possibility to date.
4/27/18: In this case, the body of the 24-year-old Belgian was found and the "criminal trail seems ruled out", reports L'Obs.

On July 18, 2017, a month before Maëlys' kidnapping, Nordahl becomes even more violent: "While driving his car, Lelandais sped up toward my client who was in her car, relates Gallo. She says she narrowly escaped the collision and an accident. Frightened, she decides to go to the authorities to file a complaint. But Lelandais tries to dissuade her. He follows her. "And when she arrives in front of the gendarmerie of Pont-de-Beauvoisin, Lelandais is already there," said Gallo.
But Karine does not give up. "The gendarmes took her complaint and the prosecutor's office in Chambéry filed the complaint as endangering the lives of others with immediate risk of death. Which is not minor!" exclaims Mr. Ronald Gallo, adding that this complaint has not had consequences.

Maëlys De Araujo, 9 years old, disappeared at Pont-de-Beauvoisin on 27 August 2017. Her bones were discovery on February 14 and 15 at the foot of Mont Grêle in Savoie.
Indicted for this murder on 9/3/17; 2/14/18 confessed to killing Maëlys "accidentally" and led investigators to her body in the woods of Attignat-Oncin, on the heights of Lake Aiguebelette (Savoie)

Nordahl Lelandais was indicted in the Arthur Noyer and Maëlys de Araujo cases, for which he pleaded responsiblity for an accident. He has not been implicated in any other case at this time.


The mission of this dedicated team consists of two stages. The first step is to take a closer look at Nordahl Lelandais' life course, interviewing all the judicial bases but also private service providers such as telephone operators, banks and insurance companies. In the jargon of the gendarmes, this work aims to "fix in time and space" the suspect. Concretely, it consists in finding his various addresses, the places he frequented, his employers, his friends, his banking movements, his old vehicles and mobile phones. Has it been checked anywhere? What gyms did he use? What nightclubs? The objective is to go back as far as possible in time.

The thousands of data collected will then be compared with the information available to investigators on all unsolved disappearance cases, through the AnaCrim software. This 360-strong unit was created in the 1990s, when Constable Jean-François Abgrall headed the investigation unit devoted to the "murder backpacker" Francis Heaulme. Since then, the system has made possible to implicate the serial killer Patrice Alègre for certain crimes and it was used to revive the case of little Gregory, in early 2017. AnaCrim makes it possible to create relational diagrams and chronologies, even when the protagonists of a file are very numerous.

Investigators have already been able to exclude Nordahl Lelandais' involvement in three cold cases: the disappearance of little Estelle Mouzin in 2003 in Guermantes (Seine-et-Marne), since he was on mission in French Guiana at that time; the Chevaline massacre in September 2012 in Savoie, and the disappearance of Lucas Tronche in March 2015 in the Gard. In this case, however, the courts are awaiting final results. "We have a number of elements that lead us to believe that he was not in the Gard at the time. But as long as we are not sure, it is an element on which we continue to work", the public prosecutor of Nîmes indicated.

L'avocat de la famille veut participer à l'interrogatoire de Lelandais

Maitre Bernard Boulloud, the lawyer of Arthur Noyer's family, will be present Friday in Bourges at the funeral of the soldier. After the time of mourning, the time of the judiciary will start again and the Noyer family, with their lawyer, intend to switch to "warrior mode" as they announced 15 days ago. In this sense, Mr. Boulloud revealed on Wednesday what strategy he intends to adopt. The main objective will be to participate in the next interrogation of Nordahl Lelandais: "Mr and Mrs Noyer and Quentin (their 2nd son) want me to attend. In this context, it is the investigating judge who will accept it or not. But quite honestly, we think that justice will not deny us."

Mr. Boulloud also had access to new reports whose content he cannot reveal due to the secrecy of the investigation. Their conclusions will allow us to contradict or not the thesis of accidental death developed by Nordahl Lelandais. But the lawyer, like the family, has never believed in it.

The funeral for Arthur Noyer will take place today in the Cathedral of Bourges

For Arthur Noyer's family, the funeral that will take place on Friday, September 7, is "a form of reunion with Arthur," the lawyer for Arthur's parents and brother, Maître Bernard Boulloud says on France Bleu Berry on Friday, September 7. The ceremony, open to all, for the young soldier killed by Nordahl Lelandais takes place at 2:30 pm in Bourges Cathedral. The parents of little Maëlys will also be present, franceinfo has been told by their lawyer.

Arthur's parents are inviting those who are coming to wear a touch of green, their son's favourite colour. They recovered their son's remains on Wednesday. "It's a deep suffering, but it's somewhere a kind of relief. They will have a place to mourn. It is in a way Arthur who returns to Bourges," Bernard Boulloud continues.

"What is difficult to bear is not knowing how their child died," the lawyer for the young soldier's family explains.. He hopes that Nordahl Lelandais will end up "telling the truth."
"If he could of his own accord tell this is how things went, I think it would alleviate some suffering, and it would relieve him of a burden that must be very difficult to bear," Maître Boulloud insists.

On the judicial front, the family hopes that their lawyer will be able to participate in Nordahl Lelandais' next interrogation. To do this, they must wait for all the expertise. "We think that the fact that there is a representative of the victim's family through his lawyer could also help the accused person to free himself," Bernard Boulloud explains. "The Noyer family would not understand if their lawyer's intervention were refused. I think the justice system will welcome this request and allow us to ask our questions," he added.

The young corporal with the 13th Battalion of Alpine Chasseurs (BCA) in Chambéry (Savoie) disappeared on 12 April 2017. Bones from his skull were discovered a year ago on the heights of the Marocaz pass. It was only on March 29 that Nordahl Lelandais admitted to having "accidentally" killed the soldier during a fight.

Nordahl Lelandais was also charged with the murder of little Maëlys. On June 2, Arthur Noyer's parents attended the girl's funeral in Pont-de-Beauvoisin (Isère).

Disparition d'Estelle Mouzin : des fouilles chez un proche de Michel Fourniret

The judges in charge of the investigation into the disappearance of Estelle Mouzin, 9 years old in 2003 in Seine-et-Marne, ordered searches in the Yvelines at the home of of a relative of the serial killer Michel Fourniret, a source close to the investigation told the AFP on Friday.

"Excavations began this week", "the earth has been dug up" at the home of this relative of Michel Fourniret, 75 years old, already convicted of seven murders, this source said, without giving any further details.

Eric Mouzin's lawyers, who believe that the Fourniret lead has not been "seriously explored" by the police in this case, were unsuccessful in May in their request to take the investigation away from the Versailles judicial police.

Nordahl Lelandais is not a suspect in the disappearance of Estelle Mouzin because he was deployed in Guyana when she went missing.
