Five investigators of the judicial police in Perpignan were on the scene Friday evening and carried out excavations to extract, in the presence of a forensic doctor, effects, and bones, which have been placed under seals. On site, investigators have refused to comment, merely call for caution.
DNA analyses will be performed in the coming days but ” there are strong chances that one is in the presence of remains belonging to Marie-Josée or Allison Benitez because they were found in an area frequented by Mr. Benitez “, said ms. Nicolau.
The military was spent in this area
According to the advocate, intensive research had already been done on this zone, near the wastewater treatment plant in Port Leucate, as the mobile phone of Francisco Benitez had ” spoken “. The terminals of calls had revealed that the military had, in the days that followed the disappearance, frequented this place, away from the foreign Legion in Perpignan, where he resided.
A judicial investigation for “murder” had been opened in this case following the discovery (after the suicide of Benitez) for DNA of missing them in a freezer in the family home, and a washing machine in the barracks to which he had access.
In July 2015, Eric Palin had called for further investigations by requiring the approximation to the judicial two folders which would be involved Francisco Benitez, that is to say, the missing of Perpignan and the disappearance of the mistress of the legionnaire, Simone de Oliveira, on November 29, 2004 in Nîmes.
