Lydie Logé Case: Judge-Led Reenactment in Orne Advances Search as Monique Olivier Assists

Investigators are using the convicted accomplice’s recollections to pinpoint where the missing woman’s remains could be found.

Overview

  • The court-supervised reenactment took place Thursday at Lydie Logé’s former home in Saint-Christophe-le-Jajolet under Judge Sabine Khéris of the Nanterre cold-case unit.
  • Monique Olivier, 77, was present for the hours-long exercise after being interrogated in Argentan and escorted across potential sites in Orne, Normandy and Eure-et-Loir earlier in the week.
  • Civil parties’ lawyer Corinne Herrmann reported a clearer scenario emerging from the session yet cautioned that the investigation is not over and appealed for new witnesses.
  • Investigators will continue site checks and potential digs without Olivier’s presence to try to locate a precise burial spot identified through her memories.
  • The renewed push follows a failed January 2025 excavation, with the case grounded in Fourniret’s prior admission and the 2018 discovery of Logé’s DNA in his van.
