Michel Fourniret admitted to being at the origin of the kidnapping of Estelle Mouzin in 2003. But he claims to no longer remember the place where he buried her.
Thursday evening, justice organized a reconstruction, in Gournay-sur-Marne first, then in Guermantes.
Monique Olivier has confirmed the involvement of her ex-husband in the kidnapping, rape and murder of the girl.
He admitted the facts in his own way.
In Gournay-sur-Marne (Seine-Saint-Denis) and Guermantes (Seine-et-Marne),
Marc was quietly installed in his dining room.
He was cleaning his Meccano when he saw Michel Fourniret pass in front of his windows decorated with little Disney stickers.
Mickey to the right.
Minnie on the left.
And the serial killer in the middle.
"He was five or six meters from me," said this retiree.
An armed policeman immediately told me to seal myself up.
But Marc did not.
And through the gap in his yellow curtains, he discreetly followed the first stage of the reconstruction in which "the ogre of the Ardennes" took part.
Thursday, the serial killer was extracted from prison to be transported to the place where he admitted having kidnapped little Estelle Mouzin, January 9, 2003. The objective of the trip was clear: to try to establish the precise scenario of the facts and, above all, to manage to find the place where the girl was buried.
And it is not easy: now 78 years old, Michel Fourniret suffers from neurological disorders that he constantly brandishes as an excuse.
As against Judge Sabine Khéris, November 27, 2019, for example: “It's not funny to grow old.
My neurons, they're breaking out!
"
Shaggy hair, long beard and bushy eyebrows: it is a man a little stunted and very poorly groomed who presented himself on Thursday in the open air of the Paris region.
"He looked like a forest ranger," says a participant in the reenactment.
"He seemed to sweeten strawberries," a second abounds.
But his memory comes back quickly… ”Two years after taking over the case, the magistrate in charge of the investigation knows it well.
So she didn't worry about hearing the killer snoring in the truck that was driving him.
Because she had a plan.
First meeting with Jacky in Gournay-sur-Marne
Before dropping Michel Fourniret in Guermantes, on the precise scene of the crime, Sabine Khéris had organized a trip around in order to refresh his memory.
First stop at 12 rue du Puits-Perdu, in Gournay-sur-Marne (Seine-Saint-Denis).
Before belonging to Marc, this little bungalow was owned by Jacky L. An old acquaintance of Michel Fourniret.
A man who shared his cell in the 1980s when he was convicted of a first round of sexual assault.
At the time, Michel Fourniret had placed an advertisement in
Le Pèlerin
: “Prisoner would like to correspond with anyone of any age to forget loneliness.
Write No. 1173 RP.
It was Monique Olivier who answered.
And while on leave, Fourniret had made an appointment with his friend Jacky, in Gournay.
The killer and the one who would later become his wife made their famous "pact" in this house.
If Michel Fourniret agreed to avenge Monique Olivier by killing her ex-husband, she would help him find young virgins to satisfy his impulses ...

Greeting card and small blue tree
Thursday, it is also for this reason that the former "muse" of the killer was part of the trip.
Nothing indicates that she once set foot in Guermantes.
But in Gournay, yes.
After rue du Puits-Perdu, the investigators stopped at rue Henri-IV.
Always with the aim of rekindling the flame of their memory.
In this avenue lined with majestic trees lived a woman holding a free radio.
In detention, Michel Fourniret listened to him.
And he wrote to her often.
But once he was released from prison in the late 1980s, the bonds began to fade.
And the killer has stopped matching.
Until the early 2000s, when he strangely split a greeting card again.
With Monique Olivier, they even came to offer her a small blue Christmas tree.
“Fourniret doesn't do anything by chance.
If he got back in touch with this lady, it is because he operated in the sector… ”, decrypts a connoisseur of the file.
#Fourniret #Mouzin: First information.
A major police system is in place to lock down the area.

Before Estelle, there had been an attempt with Megan ...
Loving the banks of the Marne further north, “the ogre of the Ardennes” has indeed ventured a lot into this area.
Especially in Bussy-Saint-Georges, where her daughter worked for a few years before committing suicide, devastated by the discovery of the crimes committed by her father.
Bussy-Saint-Georges is located just south of Guermantes.
The two villages are only separated by a golf course.
It is in this space crisscrossed with straight streets and planted with opulent houses that the investigators then put their vans on Thursday evening, just after offering the killer a break for dinner.
It was not yet time to question him about Estelle Mouzin.
But on his comrade Megan B., who lived there.
A few weeks before Estelle's disappearance, Megan indeed recounted being approached by a man and having been very scared.
Refusing to get into her van, she managed to draw a composite portrait.
Thursday evening, Michel Fourniret found that the drawing also looked a lot like him… “The idea was to understand how it worked,” continues one of our sources.
How he approached the little girls.
How he tried his luck with Megan and then how he kidnapped Estelle… ”
"A being who looks at you in this way, there is only one way out ..."
The common point seems to be the Val Guermantes school, where they were both educated.
Thursday evening, Michel Fourniret and Monique Olivier were therefore finally taken to this area.
They redid the route that Estelle Mouzin would have taken to her home on foot.
With the hope that the killer will finally confess where exactly he took her, and what he did next.
“But he did Fourniret…”, summarizes an observer.
That is, he used his favorite expressions.
“I don't remember…”, “it doesn't tilt…”
Capture of the two possible routes that Estelle Mouzin could take on January 9, 2003 to return home.

The judge then gave the floor to Monique Olivier.
She confirmed that her ex-husband had indeed abducted, raped and killed the girl.
“And you have always said that Monique Olivier was not lying!
», We relaunched it.
At this evocation, Fourniret rolled his eyes.
"Oh Monique…" Before admitting the facts in a chilling fashion.
By evoking the little girl in her own way: "You know, a being who looks you in the eyes in this way, there is only one way out ..."
Nothing that does not allow to find his body.
But the judge does not intend to leave "the ogre" alone.
On October 26, she planned to take Michel Fourniret again.
On the program this time, four days of excavations in the Ardennes.
