Still without a response, the relatives of the two missing women announced that the investigation by the Greek authorities would be closed on Wednesday 19 March 2025. Nothing has been found of these two seasoned travellers. The only clues? Marie-Pierre Arfel's phone. By going through his calls, the investigators discovered that the two women had called each other on the day of their disappearance. "On Wednesday evening, at 7:45 p.m., Greek time, Françoise Boutteaux tried to call a person and she also tried to call my aunt," Justine, the niece of the Varoise, told BFM. This information suggests that the two women may not have been together at the time. "What is the logic of calling someone when you are with this person?" asked Justine in September. A hypothesis that calls into question the chronology of events. "For us, they disappeared together, but now, it suggests that they were no longer together," added the niece. One of the mobiles was even located, moving from Sikinos to Santorini, BFM said. Inconsistencies that the families could soon investigate if this information were to be shared by investigators.
