Monique Olivier, the ex-wife of serial killer Michel Fourniret, has confessed to her involvement in the disappearance of Lydie Logé, who went missing in December 1993.

Olivier's admissions, revealed during questioning by Judge Sabine Khéris, indicate that she and Fourniret abducted Logé, with Fourniret allegedly attempting to rape her before strangling her.

Despite previous investigations from 1994 to 2009 yielding no charges, the case was reopened in 2018 after DNA evidence linked Fourniret to Logé's disappearance.

Lydie Logé, a 29-year-old mother, vanished on December 18, 1993, in Saint-Christophe-le-Jajolet, after shopping for Christmas.

The ongoing search for Logé's remains, scheduled to begin on January 21, 2025, involves around thirty gendarmes and aims to locate her body more than 30 years after her disappearance.

Olivier, now 78, will be transported from Fleury-Mérogis prison to assist in the search, which is focused on areas near Saint-Christophe-le-Jajolet.

Olivier arrived at the search site in a convoy of police vehicles, accompanied by gendarmes and Judge Khéris, indicating the seriousness of the investigation.

Judge Khéris has suggested several sites for investigation, hoping to trigger memories in Olivier, although the accuracy of her recollections remains uncertain.

Concerns for Logé's safety were raised when her family found her home empty three days after her disappearance, with groceries still inside.

Fourniret, who was charged with kidnapping and murder in December 2020, died in May 2021, leaving unanswered questions about Logé's fate.

The search operation is expected to last at least three days, with hopes that Olivier's insights will lead to the discovery of Logé's remains.

Logé's sisters made a public appeal for information in June 2023, seeking witnesses to come forward regarding her long-unsolved case.
