This is one of the last chances to get her talking. Monique Olivier is on trial in Nanterre for complicity in three kidnappings and murders of Michel Fourniret since 28 November. She is being questioned this Thursday by the Hauts-de-Seine Assize Court in connection with the disappearance of Estelle Mouzin, a nine-year-old girl, kidnapped by Michel Fourniret in Guermantes in 2003.

"I was angry that he had kidnapped such a little girl"

It's a chilling account given by Monique Olivier this Thursday morning. Some memories have come to the surface. The president began the interrogation in a firm tone: "You lied a lot in the disappearance of Estelle Mouzin, the families need to know Madame".

Under pressure, her hands trembling, Monique Olivier finally seems to have decided to speak. First, on the alibi given to Michel Fourniret on January 9, 2003, at the time of his disappearance. "I admit that he asked me to phone his brother," a call to the brother of the ogre of the Ardennes from Belgium on the evening of the disappearance.

In a small voice, she then describes several scenes after the girl's abduction. "When I saw Estelle in the bedroom on a mattress, I was angry to see that he had kidnapped such a little girl." "She was on a mattress in a room in the house, she wasn't gagged. She asked for her mom, I told her she was going to see her soon," she said.

"We went to a wood"

This was followed by the death of Estelle Mouzin, after two days of confinement. "I saw Fourniret put it in a shower curtain and we went into a wood," she said. "You know where the corpse is buried then!" exclaims the president, but Monique Olivier is stubborn, under the president's doubtful air and assures that she does not know where the little girl is buried. "I don't know exactly, I stayed in the car."

Questioning is scheduled to continue this afternoon. The civil parties hope to obtain new evidence from the accused.
