The ex-wife and accomplice of Michel Fourniret will be questioned again this Monday March 11 as part of the investigation into the disappearance of Lydie Logé.

This 29-year-old woman and mother disappeared in Orne in 1993. According to investigators, she would be the 12th alleged victim of the “ogre of the Ardennes”.  

Will Monique Olivier speak?

The ex-wife of the serial killer, Michel Fourniret, has an appointment at the cold cases center in Nanterre to be questioned by magistrate Sabine Khéris.

According to information from Europe 1, confirming the elements put forward by other colleagues, the accomplice of the "ogre of the Ardennes" will be heard on the Lydie Logé case.

The 29-year-old woman disappeared in Orne in 1993 and according to investigators, she could be the 12th alleged victim of Michel Fourniret. 

Already sentenced to life imprisonment for the second time last December, Monique Olivier is indicted for “complicity in kidnapping and kidnapping followed by death” in the context of the Logé case.

Shortly before his death, Michel Fourniret had made a partial confession concerning his responsibility in the disappearance of the mother, without revealing the location of the body.

A breakthrough that would not have been possible if DNA traces of Lydie Logé had not been found in the serial killer's van.

“It’s a great suffering for us”

The March 11 slot had been planned for a long time by the Nanterre cold cases center.

This first interrogation will in fact be a resumption of contact with the accused and other interviews are planned.

“We had to give Monique Olivier time to recover from her judgment at the assizes which is still recent,” explains to Europe 1, Maître Hermann, lawyer for the sisters of the deceased.

“We hope that Monique Olivier will be willing to give us more information on the location of the body. There will be other hearings, because for Estelle Mouzin, Monique Olivier took weeks to open up” adds the council.  

For Lydie's family, it's a new ordeal 30 years after the start of the nightmare.

“It’s a great suffering for us, we just want to know where the body is so that she can rest with her parents,” a member of the missing woman’s family told Europe 1.
