  • New searches were carried out in Montfort-sur-Meu (Ille-et-Vilaine) to try to find the trace of Magali Blandin, mother of a family missing since February 11.

  • The investigation established that the couple, in the process of divorce, was operating in a very tense context.

  • Investigators specify that no suspicion weighs for the time on the husband of the missing.

The beating continued until Friday and the search continues.

Ten days after the disappearance of Magali Blandin, we still have no news of the 42-year-old mother residing in Montfort-sur-Meu, west of Rennes (Ille-et-Vilaine).

Very important means have been deployed to try to find this mother of four children.

In vain.

Since the declaration of his disappearance, reported on February 12 by a work colleague, several areas of the town have been searched over a total area of ​​10 km².

Divers have also sounded 10 km of the two rivers crossing the city (the Garun and the Meu) and ten ponds.

The day of her disappearance, Magali Blandin had an appointment with her psychologist in Pleumeleuc.

But she did not go there and left her home on foot around 10 a.m. in climatic conditions made difficult by snow.

The telephone survey, confirmed by the tracking dogs, suggests that the mother of the family moved to a hedged area located north of the town, near the Garun stream.

This is where investigators lose track of the 40-year-old, mother of four children aged 3, 7, 12 and 14.

"A difficult telephone contact with her children the day before"

Before leaving her home, Magali Blandin had started writing an email to her husband, who had custody of the children that week.

She obviously wanted to organize the weekend care "after a difficult telephone contact with her children the day before," said Rennes prosecutor Philippe Astruc.

This exchange illustrates the strong tensions which agitated the couple for several months, "in particular on the question of the management of the household resources".

Pending separation, the mother had left the family home in Montauban-de-Bretagne in September to find accommodation in Montfort-sur-Meu.

Proceedings before a family court judge had been initiated and a non-conciliation hearing was due to take place on January 4.

A referral had been requested and a new hearing was scheduled for March.

"No element associating the husband with this disappearance"

According to investigators, she had lodged a complaint for domestic violence after "several occasional episodes during married life".

She admitted, however, that she might have been violent herself.

The complaint was dismissed after hearing the husband.

The latter was again heard by investigators.

“Checks were made with the husband.

They did not reveal, in the state, no element associating it with this disappearance or suggesting its presence in Montfort-sur-Meu at the time of the facts ”, specifies the parquet floor.

A judicial investigation in search of the causes of this disappearance entrusted to an examining magistrate of Rennes will be opened this Monday in order to continue the investigations.

The family of the disappeared was received Friday by the prosecutor.
