The investigation into the disappearance of Émile Soleil, a two-and-a-half-year-old boy from France, is ongoing as new information has emerged regarding the remains found during the search.

Prosecutor Jean-Luc Blachon announced in a press conference that the remains discovered last year had not been in the location for an extended period before they were found.

This statement adds a critical dimension to the ongoing investigation.

Blachon also addressed the status of family members of the child, who were recently released from custody but are still considered part of the inquiry.

He emphasized that the 'family investigation has not yet concluded,' indicating that authorities may still be pursuing unexplored angles related to the case.

The case, which has drawn significant public attention and concern, remains under close scrutiny as investigators continue to piece together the timeline and circumstances of Émile’s disappearance and the subsequent discovery of his remains.

Law enforcement agencies are expected to maintain their focus on both the immediate family and other connections as the investigation unfolds.
