Overview
- His new lawyers announced that Cédric Jubillar sent a handwritten letter in early July in which he acknowledged giving his wife’s life, according to multiple media reports.
- Gendarmes launched coordinated ground searches on Thursday in a widened perimeter north of Albi near Cagnac‑les‑Mines with excavation equipment and roadblocks in place.
- Reports say Jubillar has not revealed where Delphine’s body is or the full circumstances of her death, leaving key facts unresolved for investigators.
- Jubillar remains convicted and serving a 30‑year prison sentence from his October 2025 trial and is due to face an appeal hearing in Toulouse on 21 September 2026.
- Finding remains would supply physical evidence that could shape the appeal, provide answers for the couple’s children who were placed with Delphine’s sister, and close unanswered questions from the original trial.
