Overview
- Gendarmes resumed work at the Aillevillers-et-Lyaumont property this week, sealing off the street as crime-scene technicians examined the house and grounds.
- Jean-Philippe Mondin of the local gendarmerie said the operation aims to ensure no additional bodies are hidden in the home or surrounding terrain.
- Two handlers from the national gendarmerie cynology center in Gramat brought four human-remains detection dogs, while technicians looked for possible blood traces inside.
- The 50-year-old mother, under formal investigation for murders of minors and held in provisional detention, was brought from the Mulhouse-Lutterbach prison to the scene.
- Investigators say she acknowledged giving birth at home and placing the newborns in a freezer but could not date the births precisely, estimating between 2011 and 2018; the case began after her son discovered a body and alerted authorities.
