Around a hundred gendarmes remained mobilized on Wednesday in Haut-Vernet in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence. The system has, however, been slightly lightened since the search dogs, specialized in the search for human remains, have returned to their unit.
The place where the child's clothes and bones - part of the skull and teeth - were discovered is approximately 1.7 km from the hamlet. No one can confirm that Emile's skull and his clothes had been there since July 8.
