Overview
- Lawyers for Anne and Philippe Vedovini filed a dossier late last week seeking additional fouilles, mass DNA sampling, renewed witness hearings and telephony analysis.
- The requests draw on a November site review by the family that flagged barns, hangars and other agricultural buildings they say were not fully examined near Haut‑Vernet and the area where remains were found.
- Prosecutors have said forensic work points to a violent facial trauma with the probable involvement of a third party, and the intrafamilial hypothesis remains open.
- Two bicycles belonging to an uncle were seized in December and are undergoing expert analyses, including DNA checks, with results pending.
- Only part of the skull and some clothing were recovered about 1.5 to 1.7 km from the hamlet, and other remains and personal effects are still missing.
