There is ‘no sign’ of a toddler who disappeared in a village in the French Alps despite hundreds of police officers and volunteers searching for him.
Émile, aged two and a half, was staying with his grandparents in their house in Le Vernet in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence.
Four days after going missing, the field search for him was called off this evening.
Local prosecutor Rémy Avon said the ‘physical search’ could go no further, adding there was ‘no sign’ of Émile.
‘The judicial investigation into the causes of the disappearance will continue,’ he said.
‘In particular by analysing the considerable mass of information and elements collected over the past four days.’
Mr Avon said the possibilities that the boy had been murdered, kidnapped, or got involved in an accident were all being look at.
‘All these theories are active, nothing has been ruled out,’ he stressed.
