Estimated year of birth: 1933-1948

  • Gold wedding ring engraved with laurel leaves on the outside and “Jean et Nelly 25/06/1960” on the inside - worn by the victim on the left ring finger
  • Gold ring with a blue stone
  • Gold ring with a red stone

Characteristics:
The woman, of stout build, had had a hip replacement (Landanger implant No. L96211C) to the left hip. The implant was likely to be part of a batch delivered to Belgium, Switzerland, Germany, the Netherlands, and Italy.
The two rings with stones worn by the victim dated from the 1940s-1960s and had been made in Italy or Türkiye.

Case details:
On 5 March 2008, the body of a woman was discovered below a coastal road built into the face of the cliff in a very isolated spot in Villefranche-sur-Mer that was difficult to get to. The women was found in the middle of brambles and bushes some 5 metres below the road.

The woman had died from a trauma – presumably a crime – four to six days before her body was discovered.
