He visits his grandparents and then disappears without a trace. A two-year-old boy has been missing since Saturday in France.
Updated as of July 13, 5:25 am: The French police no longer send out search parties for little Emile. A search operation in the foothills of the Alps failed to solve the mystery of his disappearance, and now it is over, says public prosecutor Remy Avon. The two-year-old was found last Saturday in the hamlet of Haute-Vernet. Since then, dozens of soldiers and gendarmes have annexed twelve hectares of land, 30 buildings and twelve vehicles.
However, Avion says authorities have examined a “substantial amount of information and elements” over the past four days. The investigation into the missing persons continues.
On Tuesday, prosecutors warned that the two-year-old’s life was “in very serious danger” after the 48-hour period, given the child’s young age and current extreme heat of up to 35 degrees. Emile’s uncertain fate keeps the entire country in suspense. The young child stayed with her grandparents.

Disappeared without a trace: Emile, a two-year-old child from a community of 100 people, is missing
The picture of the two-year-old is on the front page of newspapers in France and is all over the news. Many fear for the boy’s fate. But there is no trace of the missing child in the mountain village. More than 100 people live in the municipality of Vernet. Emil was on holiday with his grandparents when they went missing on Saturday night. He lives near Marseille with his parents.
Since the disappearance, 12 hectares of land have been combed, all 30 houses in the village have been searched, 25 people have been questioned and twelve cars have been searched, all to no avail. About 90 gendarmes and soldiers were deployed again in the French pre-Alps on Tuesday with the help of sniffer dogs. Investigators have examined all cellular connections in the area since the disappearance.
France: Two-year-old child disappears without a trace – evidence and clues are scarce
“Little Emile has not been found,” prosecutor Remy Avon said on Tuesday (July 11), three days after the boy went missing. There are currently no signs or clues as to where the child may be.
In the small town of Le Vernet in southern France, there is nothing but the testimony of two witnesses who saw the boy walking down a street. The lawyer insisted that even a small search would continue. Initially, there was no evidence of kidnapping or murder.
