The march took place in the middle of the afternoon in Guermantes.

The walk, a "concretization of the investigation"
It was in this village of Seine-et-Marne that the 9-year-old girl disappeared on her return from school on January 9, 2003. Sentenced to life imprisonment for the murders of seven young women or adolescent girls between 1987 and 2001, Michel Fourniret, who died in Paris on May 10, 2021 at the age of 79, had ended up confessing in March 2020 to judge Sabine Kheris his responsibility for the disappearance of the child.
Saturday's march marked "an important step (...) It is a kind of concretization of the investigation carried out by Judge Kheris", estimated Éric Mouzin.
Estelle's body has never been found until now, despite ten search campaigns in the Ardennes woods.
Only Monique Olivier, ex-wife of the serial killer, remains implicated in this case and should very soon be the subject of an indictment order before the assizes.
The investigation has long gone from dead ends to dead ends.

The site is located near Ville-sur-Lumes, where, still according to Monique Olivier, Michel Fourniret kidnapped, raped and killed Estelle in a house belonging to her sister.
The child's partial DNA was found on a mattress seized in 2003 from this house.
