Three people disappeared on December 28, off Grau-du-Roi, in the Gard. A man, a woman, and her 13-year-old son had gone out on a jet ski from the seaside resort. They were to return two hours later.
Since then, they have not given any news. An investigation for "worrying disappearance" had been entrusted to the gendarmerie, after a report by relatives.
"Caution is advised"
Research, conducted the Regional Operational Center for Surveillance and Rescue in the Mediterranean had been launched. They were abandoned on December 30. But a few days ago, the Spanish authorities discovered the body of a man, off the coast of Barcelona, in Spain, and contacted the French investigators.
On the corpse, the papers of the jet ski, on which the three missing persons embarked at Grau-du-Roi, were found. "This lets us imagine that it is quite probably about him [the jet ski pilot]", said 20 minutes Wednesday Eric Maurel, the public prosecutor of Nîmes. But, according to the magistrate, caution is advised, and investigations are underway to confirm it. A comparative DNA expertise has been commissioned, the results will be known in a week.
No hypothesis concerning this disappearance is favored by the investigators.
