Monique Olivier heard to "complete the puzzle" of the Mouzin affair

Charleville-Mézières (Ardennes), May 29, 2008. Monique Olivier photographed during the trial of her ex-husband, Michel Fourniret.

• Monique Olivier, the ex-wife of Michel Fourniret, must be heard this Friday by the examining magistrate Sabine Khéris on the disappearance of Estelle Mouzin.

• Long bound by a morbid pact with "the ogre of the Ardennes", Monique Olivier seems to have now distanced herself from him.

• Investigators hope she can deliver details that will allow them to locate the girl's body and understand what happened.

“Prisoner would like to correspond with anyone of any age to forget loneliness.

"Even today, Monique Olivier must wonder what her life would have been if she had not responded to this advertisement published in

in 1986. Michel Fourniret would perhaps have remained delivered to his" solitude ".

She, in any case, would never have become his muse.

Then his wife.

Then his accomplice.

And finally his scale ...

Divorced since 2010, the one who will soon celebrate her 72 years has not yet finished with "the ogre of the Ardennes".

This Friday, she must still be heard by Judge Sabine Khéris as part of the investigation into the disappearance of Estelle Mouzin, in which Michel Fourniret acknowledged his participation.

And this is arguably the best chance to find the girl's body and finally understand what really happened.

"She has a real role to play," believes Corinne Herrmann, lawyer for Eric Mouzin, Estelle's father.

It must specify the scenario.

She can give the pieces to complete the puzzle.

"

At the end of the 121st interrogation, she balances it

Why would she do it?

Maybe because she promised it.

On February 5, 2019, she was the first to breathe the name of Estelle Mouzin to Judge Khéris.

As

had revealed, she explains then that she wishes to discuss this case "given the passing time" and "to help the families of the victims".

The statement is immediately taken seriously.

And for good reason: in 2004, it was she who ended up, at the end of the 121st interrogation, by denouncing the murders committed by her husband, when he was just about to be released ...

#Fourniret #Mouzin: Faced with judge Khéris, this Friday, Monique Olivier therefore suggested that Michel Fourniret was indeed at the origin of the disappearance of Estelle Mouzin.

But Monique Olivier is not a great communicator.

"She has a flow of two words per hour", caricature a source close to the file.

It is therefore necessary to wait until November 2019 for it to go further and officially contradict the alibi from which the serial killer benefited until then in this case.

As usual, he's not a big help.

Aging and suffering from degenerative neurological disorders, Michel Fourniret continues to say that he does not “remember” Estelle Mouzin, without knowing whether it is not simply a strategy intended to turn the investigators in circles ...

The abominable pact is over

But the time of the pact between the ex-spouses is over.

The one where the killer had promised to take care of Monique Olivier's ex-husband on the condition that she brings him young virgin girls to satisfy his impulses.

So, of course, he continues to openly despise her.

At the trial of the case of the gang of hairpieces, in 2018, he confirms that he considers her as a "pure idiot", a "mess to mold", a woman who "has nothing between her ears".

Sitting in the same box, Monique Olivier does not blink.

As if, this time, the insults did not reach him.

#Fourniret: Still in a weak voice, the accused reacts.

“I do not deny these statements.

They may have been a bit abusive.

But not totally unfounded.

“She's older now.

She spent years in prison, continues Corinne Herrmann.

We have the feeling that she has matured.

“Witness the reconstruction of the murders of Joanna Parrish and Marie-Angèle Domèce, where the investigators were surprised to see her stand up, for the first time, to the ogre of the Ardennes during a confrontation.

It remains to be seen what she can say to the judge to advance the investigation into the disappearance of Estelle Mouzin.

At the risk of revealing sordid details to his family.

You have to prepare for it.

During her last hearing, she confided that Michel Fourniret had been "happy" with the kidnapping of the girl because he had noticed that she had been "very afraid" ...
