VOGLANS. L’association "Assistance et recherche de personnes disparues" fait le point sur les enquêtes

The regional delegation of the Association Assistance and Search for Missing Persons (ARPD) met on Saturday in Voglans, at the home of a coordinating member, to review ongoing investigations, new cases and to keep in touch with the other members.

These are people with missing children, police officers, retired gendarmes, former magistrates, private detectives who work on a voluntary basis, but also people from the foundation who are interested in assisting the families of missing people.

In recent months, the ARPD has taken a particular interest in the disappearances that may be linked to the Lelandais case (murders of Maëlys and Corporal Arthur Noyer). "We have 22 families who have joined our association in the Rhône-Alpes region, because they have a relative who disappeared during a period when Nordahl Lelandais was likely to be around. They are asking for new investigations," explains Bernard Valezy, Regional President and National Vice-President, who is also an internal mediator in the national police force.

The association has counted 27 cases of disappearances and eight unexplained deaths requiring checks in Auvergne Rhône-Alpes that could have a link with Lelandais. "These are cases that are still ongoing, we work closely with the Ariane cell of the gendarmes. »

But despite several follow-up cases, some families regret not being kept regularly informed of the progress of the investigation. "It seems to us that the justice system does not sufficiently take into account the fact that we are not part of an ordinary investigation. In a disappearance case, the family does not only wait for the procedure to be completed, there is also the operational research aspect that comes into play. The longer we delay in carrying out investigative acts, the more families have the impression that we are abandoning the search for their missing persons," Bernard Valezy reports.

The former field police officer suggests that consideration should be given to the establishment of "specialized structures". "They would deal exclusively, for example at the regional level, with cases of disappearance, as in Belgium. »

Group picture. The woman on the far left looks a lot like Georgette Bonnet.
I would like to ask the ARPD about Edwige Ukundirwase and P-A Seenyen. Won't do it, they are busy enough as it is. I don't think anyone was at the meeting on their behalf.

Nordahl Lelandais accusé d'agression sexuelle par une autre de ses petites cousines

A young cousin of Nordahl Lelandais told BFMTV that she was sexually assaulted in March 2017 by the alleged murderer of Maëlys.

At the age of 16 (she was 14 at the time), the teenager filed a complaint last April for "sexual assault on a minor" and "death threats".

She explains that she broke the silence after the revelation of Nordahl Lelandais' alleged touching of two other of her little cousins, aged 4 and 6 years old.

The facts allegedly occurred in March 2017, reports BFMTV.

That is one month before Arthur Noyer's disappearance and five months before Maëlys'.

"We walked away to the side of the house to smoke, I had to cry, it was my father's funeral. He takes me in his arms, except he puts his hands down. I feel his hands going down my back, his hands are on my buttocks, with insistence," says the teenager in a document exclusive to our colleagues.

The young girl rejects her cousin's advances, but Nordahl Lelandais is increasingly insistent, with "a scary face, with a black look that really scares," she recalls, still in shock.

The teenager leaves to join her family, but Maëlys' alleged murderer threatens her: "If you say anything, I will kill you".

A few days later, the thirty-year-old will try his luck again with the help of inappropriate SMS messages:

"At the end of March, he started sending me messages and I answered him because I was necessarily afraid," explains the then high school student. "He told me it's when we get married, you're my little bomb, things like that."

A preliminary investigation has been opened. Nordahl Lelandais is currently under investigation in four cases.

Nordahl Lelandais visé par une nouvelle plainte pour agression sexuelle envers une cousine

It is beyond comprehension. I picked a report with lesser details to translate. I felt I could not be a witness to it all. A father dies. An attack on a crying girl.. A few months later, the same cousin abducts a little girl. And the mother, widowed, does her best to shield her family from the fact that they are related - see what happens to Sven and his mother.

And for some reason. NL switches easily, seamlessly from touching young cousins to the murder of Arthur Noyer, a grown up man. And back to the young cousins.

La nouvelle victime présumée de Nordahl Lelandais est originaire des Ardennes


The new alleged victiom of Nordahl Lelandais is from the Ardennes region

On Monday, July 1, BFM TV revealed the testimony of a new alleged victim of Nordahl Lelandais. According to our information, the investigation department of the Reims gendarmerie is in charge of the investigation. The teenager is from the Ardennes.

The events reportedly took place in March 2017. An Ardennaise woman, now 16 years old, revealed that she had been a victim of Nordahl Lelandais, her older cousin, on the day of her father's funeral. "She is relieved to have spoken and at the same time, she has gone through a complicated period," says her lawyer Caroline Rémond, who was contacted by the editorial staff. "She's only 16 years old, it's hard for a child. She did it so her little cousins would know that they' re not alone."

She added: "She has nothing to gain since it is a felony and Nordahl Lelandais is being prosecuted for criminal acts."

The Grenoble prosecutor's office was informed of the case but has not taken up the case, BFM and AFP point out. According to our information, it has been entrusted to the investigative section of the Reims gendarmerie.

Bourges : un skate Park "Arthur Noyer " à l'automne

Bourges: a skate Park "Arthur Noyer" this autumn

A new skate park in Bourges, near the Auron lake. The first stone has just been laid and it will probably open in October. The mayor will propose to the municipal council to name it after the young soldier from Bourges who was murdered by Nordahl Lelandais.

Arthur Noyer was a regular at the skate park in Séraucourt, which had to close to make way for the new Maison de la culture that is now under construction. The day after his death became known, skateboarders had put forward the idea of giving his name to this new facility in the Val d'Auron, an idea taken up by the mayor of Bourges, Pascal Blanc: "Naturally, I asked his parents about the idea first, because Arthur was a practitioner, and even a teacher. It's the least we can do to pay tribute to him. Now we need to get this approved by the city council."

"In my opinion, it will be the trial that will establish the truth, we already know a part of it, and what remains to be established is the manner in which the person charged killed Arthur Noyer, " adds Me Boulloud, who is hoping for a trial in this case in 2020.

Slimane et Vitaa unissent leurs voix pour "Maëlys", un titre hommage à la jeune victime de Nordahl Lelandais

A Song for Jennifr d'Araujo by French singers Slimane and Vitaa


The video clip of the acoustic version of the song, published on YouTube on Thursday July 25 and shot in black and white, does not leave the recording studio. A way of focusing on words more than on the surrounding environment. The first comments posted on social networks are very complimentary, some of them not hiding their emotions. Starting with the one of the girl's mother, Jennifer De Araujo, to whom the title is dedicated. On her Facebook page, she said she was "moved and touched" by this song. "You are, Vitaa and Slimane, artists with a big heart. Your voices are beautiful. Thank you for honouring my baby. Maëlys would be proud of you. I miss her terribly. The emptiness she leaves in me, her mother, is unbearable," she wrote on Friday, July 26.

I'm just counting the days.
That separate me from you
I think I've been around here.
I'm not quite myself anymore.

Here I see you everywhere
Not a place that can make me forget you
Here I hear them everywhere
Those little girl stories of yours

In your room I can't go
Getting in is too much for me.
Into your room I won't go
Your dolls are bored without you

I can' t make it,
Nothing makes sense here anymore.
I cannot do this,
Telling myself it was written

There where there was life, there
On the walls I read your name.
All your friends talk about you
They even wrote you a song.

What do I expect now?
Why when the phone rings
Is my heart jumping? Tell me why
Even if I make the effort in front of the others,
I can't stand up straight anymore.
How can I hold on?

In your room I can't go
Getting in is too much for me.
Into your room I'won't go
Your dolls are bored without you

I can' t make it,
Nothing makes sense here anymore.
I can't do this, I can't,
Telling myself it was written

I can't, I can't.
I can't do it, I can't do it.
What do I do, what do I do?
Me without you? Me without you?
I have faith, but despite that, I am hurting.

In your room I can't go
Getting in is too much for me.
Into your room I won't go
Your dolls are bored without you

Meurtre de Maëlys : un codétenu compromet la défense de Lelandais

According to Le Parisien, Nordahl Lelandais, suspected of having murdered Maëlys at a wedding in Pont-de-Beauvoisin two years ago, reportedly gave details of the crime to one of his cell mates in the Saint-Quentin-Fallavier prison, in Isère. The latter reportedly alerted the prison administration in December before being summoned to appear before the investigating judges in charge of the case in Grenoble. He then explained that Nordahl Lelandais had told him about raping the little girl before beating her to death. This is a confidence that the suspect has never before expressed to the courts and that suggests a sexual motive.

The witness was a "floor assistant", a prison source explains to Libération. Lelandais reportedly opened up to him about the girl's death several times during walks, the same source explains. He also allegedly explained that he killed Corporal Arthur Noyer after the latter refused his advances. "I couldn't keep it to myself," the witness told the prison administration. He was convicted of common law offences and could be released in April 2020, according toLe Parisien.

This could compromise the defence adopted by Lelandais, a defense that has swept away all sexual intent since the beginning of the investigation. In front of the magistrates, he claimed that he took the girl in his car the night she disappeared to show her his dogs. The autopsy of Maëlys' body, discovered six months after the incident, never made it possible to invalidate or confirm this version. Nevertheless, the courts doubt an accidental death insofar as Nordahl Lelandais is also under investigation in other cases of a sexual nature. He is accused of filming himself assaulting two of his little cousins. In April, another complaint was filed by a second- cousin, alleging a sexual assault that occurred on the day of her father's funeral. All these factors confirm in the eyes of the investigators the hypothesis of paedophile "tendencies", acknowledged by Lelandais, who invokes "the influence of alcohol and drugs".

The gendarmes were also able to establish that he was visiting child *advertiser censored* sites "one to two hours a day", up tp the day of Maëlys' disappearance.

Fait divers - Les réactions des parents d'Arthur Noyer et de leur avocat après les confidences de Nordahl Lelandais

Arthur Noyer's parents and their lawyer respond after Nordahl Lelandais' disclosures.

On Tuesday, Le Parisien revealed that Nordahl Lelandais, indicted for the murder of Arthur Noyer from le Berry had confided in a fellow prisoner. Arthur's parents and their lawyer have responded.

Nordahl Lelandais reportedly told a detainee that he killed Corporal Arthur Noyer in April 2017 because he had refused to grant him a sexual favor, as we heard from Le Parisien on Tuesday.

When contacted, Arthur's parents, who live in Bourges, simply indicated: "The truth will run so fast it will overtake the lie " (quote from Jacob Cats). From the beginning, they have been convinced that only the evidence of the investigation will be able to compel the alleged murderer to tell the truth.

Arthur Noyer's parents' lawyer, Me Bernard Boulloud, assured that he had not been informed of the revelations of this cellmate. "I don't have any information and even if I did, I wouldn't give it because I'm bound by the secrecy of the investigation," he says. If this information is revealed, it is a violation of the secrecy of the investigation. I had already filed a complaint to this effect in February 2018 after revelations. This investigation becomes a public secret and it is damaging."

With regard to the co-detainee who made these statements and who, again according to Le Parisien, would have nothing to gain from the judicial point of view, the lawyer considers that it is necessary to check his reliability. "I imagine that magistrates are working on it but I find it curious that it comes out now when the revelations date back to the end of 2018."

Mr. Boulloud claims that the trial for the murder of Arthur Noyer will not take place at the same time as the trial for the murder of little Maëlys, about whom the detainee also allegedly obtained information from Nordahl Lelandais. The 8-year-old girl had disappeared two years ago, after a wedding evening in the Isère region.

"We discussed it with her family, we don't want the two cases to be joined," he explains. "Each of the victims has the right to a dedicated trial, there is no way that Arthur will overshadow Maëlys and vice versa. Moreover, these are not the same facts and I will do everything I can to ensure that the qualification of assassination (premeditated murder, editor's note) is maintained."

The lawyer believes that the trial is unlikely to take place until the first quarter of 2020. Nordahl Lelandais' defence did not react to these new revelations.

Quatre questions sur les nouvelles accusations visant Nordahl Lelandais


Four questions about the new accusations against Nordahl Lelandais

The new witness is damning for the suspect in the murders of little Maëlys and Corporal Arthur Noyer.

Two years to the day after the disappearance of little Maëlys at a wedding celebration in Pont-de-Beauvoisin (Isère), new information sheds light on the personality of Nordahl Lelandais, the man suspected of the murder of the girl.

According to revelations from Le Parisien, confirmed on Tuesday 27 August by franceinfo, a detainee at Saint-Quentin-Fallavier prison (Isère), where he is incarcerated, said that the 36-year-old former soldier confided in him and revealed sordid details about the circumstances of the deaths of Maëlys and Corporal Arthur Noyer, whose body was found in September 2017.


What does this fellow inmate reveal?

- Concerning the murder of Maëlys.
This prisoner, who shared Nordahl Lelandais' cell at Saint-Quentin-Fallavier prison, asserts that the latter told him that he raped the girl, before beating her to death and disposing of the body.
This testimony undermines the position of the former dog-handler, who maintains that he did not commit any sexual violence against Maëlys and admitted in February 2018 that he killed the child, but "unintentionally".

- Regarding the murder of Corporal Arthur Noyer.
According to the inmate's statements, Nordahl Lelandais also told him why he murdered Corporal Arthur Noyer. According to him, the latter had rejected his advances.

Are these statements being taken seriously?

By giving this testimony to the prison administration at the end of 2018, and then to an investigating judge, the suspect's cellmate denies that he intends to seek any judicial reward, claiming that he may be released in April 2019, according to Le Parisien. "I couldn't keep it to myself. It was important what he told me," he said.

The hypothesis of the girl's accidental death never convinced the investigators, who suspect a sexual motive behind the child's abduction and murder. Nordahl Lelandais himself admitted, during an interrogation in December, that he sexually assaulted two of his little cousins aged 4 and 6 in the summer of 2017, a week before Maëlys' murder. He had filmed the attacks with his mobile phone, before deleting the videos. While under investigation in this previous case, he explained that at the time of the events, he no longer "really made the difference between a woman and a girl", due to "excessive alcohol and cocaine consumption". He finally admitted that he had already had a penchant for girls at a younger age, but assured that he had never acted before 2017.

"Nordahl Lelandais has a profile of sexual predator, paedocriminal, rather than a serial killer. The fact that it also indicates that he has been attracted for some time makes my clients even more concerned. Their fears are obviously that investigators will discover new videos about other children," according to Caroline Rémond, the lawyer for the girls' parents.


In what context do these statements occur?

The investigation into Maëlys' murder is due to be completed this autumn, with a view to a trial. In total, Nordahl Lelandais is indicted in four cases: the murder of Corporal Arthur Noyer, the murder of Maëlys and sexual assaults on his two little cousins aged 4 and 6.

What does this change from a judicial point of view?

The theory of rape is difficult to verify by judges. Indeed, Maëlys' body was found six months after her disappearance, too late for the experts to confirm or not the rape theory.

However, if Nordahl Lelandais is tried at a trial for "murder of a minor under 15 years of age" preceded by rape, he could be sentenced to "actual" life, a sentence accompanied by an unlimited period of detention.

Thanks for that article ZaZara!

In total, NL is indicted in four cases: the murder of Corporal Arthur Noyer, the murder of Maëlys and sexual assaults on his two little cousins aged 4 and 6.

I guess they are not counting this one. Not really indicted, yet...
From my notes:
*Preliminary investigation has been opened (7/1/19). A young cousin of Nordahl Lelandais told BFMTV that she was sexually assaulted in March 2017 by the alleged murderer of Maëlys.


and I am going to guess when they say "autumn" - Sept. or October?? I hope!

This is interesting. At the time, in July, I saw the report of Radio Capitole in collaboration with Le Nouveau Detective, a French magazine, about, you guessed it, detectives. Le Nouveau Detective published a story that the SNRP, the French Intelligence service that operates in prisons, recruited a good looking, muscled prisoner to gain the trust of Nordahl Lelandais and promised him a reward (?) once he got out of prison.
The man accepted the proposal and slowly gained the trust of Lelandais. It took 9 months before NL confessed in detail what had happened in the car on the night that Maëlys disappeared.
Des faits au-delà de la abomination. 'Things we won't write about here.'

That was the moment I cocluded that they made it all up, too terrible to write about is an obvious easy way out, or so I thought. I have seen gaffes from Le Nouveau Detective in another case, they obviously had no clue what they were writing about there.

As it turns out, in Maëlys' case, it seems I may have been wrong.

Screenshot of the report here, I haven't found a digital version:

At the end, it says that this witness has left the prison and has disappeared (on top of everything!) and that he did not turn up to offically sign his statements. Another easy way out or a fact? The Detective keeps us guessing.


https://i2.wp.com/radiocapitole.fr/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Capture-d’écran-2019-07-10-à-22.49.21.png?w=1280&ssl=1

Radio Capitole:
Affaire Nordahl Lelandais : La taupe qui l'a fait craquer - Radio Capitole


Tired of being dragged around by Lelandais, because at each audition, the man positions himself as a victim, or invents a version that constantly diverges. Sometimes he even starts questioning the investigators, sometimes even going so far as to have unnecessary investigations done.

The two magistrates in charge of the investigation therefore decided to contact the SNRP.

Objective: to pull the worms out of Lelandais' nose at all costs. The intelligence service will therefore set up a film-like scheme and obtain a confession from Leland from his cell.

In the Saint Quentin-Fallavier prison, for example, Lelandais does not talk to many people. Indeed, even on a walk, he cannot count on the sympathy of other detainees, who do not like him very much because he is a child rapist. He is often placed in solitary confinement.

The local SNRP agent understood that Lelandais was lonely. But this extreme loneliness of Lelandais will allow the agent to unravel this mystery that N.L. hides.

A tailor-made friend will be created for Lelandais......

A candidate is selected based on the candidates evaluated by SNRP officers. This 39-year-old man was convicted of common law offences.

Lelandais is said to be homosexual, and according to the agent, the man selected has all the necessary qualities of what Nordahl Lelandais particularly appreciates. The SNRP offers a straightforward deal to this 39-year-old man, to be a future infiltrator and approach Lelandais in order to get him to talk about the murder of the girl, using all the means necessary to reveal the truth. Reward in return for infiltrating him, which will be accepted unequivocally by Lelandais' future cellmate.

Last August, Lelandais fell into the trap and became friends with the infiltrator. This budding friendship will therefore be like a breath of fresh air for Lelandais, who finds in this man a way to confide freely. Same boat, same trouble....

The weeks passed and the two men saw each other more and more, but the prison guards continued to monitor each and every move of the two friends in custody.

After meetings with Lelandais, the 39-year-old prisoner reports back to the service everything that Lelandais would have entrusted to him. Not much at first, but as time passes, Lelandais' confidences become more and more precise.

After nine months of friendships in detention, Lelandais will confess in the smallest details what he has not yet admitted to the courts.

Soon, the investigating judge plans to interview Lelandais in order to make him talk more... Anyway, the truth about the death of the young Maëlys is close... Does he still keep secrets, and how many? Will Lelandais finally speak out?

Disparus du fort de Tamié : leurs proches, en quête de réponses, scellent une plaque commémorative

The relatives of Jean-Christophe Morin, who disappeared in 2011, and Ahmed Hamadou, disappeared in 2012, have placed a commemorative plaque at the Tamié fort (Savoy), where the two men disappeared. With Nordahl Lelandais still a suspect in both cases, the families are asking for answers.

Their questions have gone without answers for years and their grief has been impossible. To remember Jean-Christophe Morin and Ahmed Hamadou, known as the men who went missing from Fort de Tamié, their relatives placed a commemorative plaque at the location of their disappearance, which will forever remain their "cemetery".

The faces of the two men, who disappeared a year apart during an electro music festival, are now imprinted next to this fortification, perched at an altitude of less than 1,000 metres on the heights of Alberville (Savoie). Eight years on, the pain of their absence can still be seen in the eyes of their loved ones.

"Of course Ahmed has gone missing, but the whole family thinks he is no longer part of this world, so we just want to find a place of commemoration," according to Aïcha Hamadou, sister of Ahmed Hamadou who has been missing for 7 years. In addition to the sadness, there is anger in these two families whose lives changed at the end of the summer of 2011 and 2012. Nordahl Lelandais, who has already been indicted in four cases, including the murder of little Maëlys and the murder of Corporal Noyer, is suspected of being the cause of these two disappearances.

In 2018, a video documenting the dog-handler's presence at the scene of the incident was transferred to justice by the relatives of the two missing persons. The recording is said to date from 2012, the year Ahmed Hamadou disappeared, one year after Jean-Christophe Morin's death.

But since the transfer of these videos to the courts, families have had no news about the progress of the investigation. They move heaven and earth to get answers. "We feel completely left out," Adeline Morin, sister of Jean-Christophe Morin, deplores. We feel like they want to forget them. It's as if giving answers to families isn't the priority. That's all we hope for, that there will be investigations and that we will finally be told what happened."

Since 2018, the Ariane cell has been examining cases of unsolved disappearances in which Nordahl Lelandais may be involved. Not effective enough for families, who are asking for results: "The Ariane cell, we have nothing to say about it because, for the moment, it has not contributed anything to Jean-Christophe and Ahmed's case," Adeline simply replies.

United in pain, the relatives join forces through the association "Les disparus du Fort de Tamié" that they have just created in order not to forget Jean-Christophe and Ahmed.

IMHO it has already been determinded that the person in de video was someone else?
