Velma clan had no shortage of dark family secrets and the crow and afraid to use this information against them. Albert's father had hanged himself. when albert was only twelve years old. The crow constantly encouraged albert to do the same. Christine veal man was home alone with baby gregory when the phone rang on November twenty two nineteen, eighty one. Jean Marie was working the night shift. It was the first time

Christine heard the hoarse voice of the crowd for herself the mystery all I began unleashing a barrage of insult Christine quickly hung up. They sing raged the crowd hey immediately call back and the insult Wasn't he threatened violence, making it Well, he knew exactly where Christine lived and water movements were like Christine asked call her what she did to deserve this harassment, the crow responded. It's not you. It's your old man. Later that nod christine I heard a rattling noise at her front door. She went to investigate only to discover that a latch on the door had been broken and a window pane had been smashed.

Christine, bundled gregory up and rushed to her next door, neighbours house, after that she became consumed by fear. Jean Marie board, at twenty two caliber rifle for himself and a pistol for Christine, reinforced. All of the windows of their home with shadows, christine roof used to stay alone in the house at night, innovation, Moray work tonight she took Gregory to stay at her mothers, meanwhile, the calls continued at albert and makes house the crow told them. I broke down the bosses door. His wife was scared. de ville minds one of the top of people to involve law enforcement. Like him, others in the region. They were wrong school and somewhat stubborn. They believed that conflict should be so

They reported the call it the local police and an investor nation, was launched.

determining the identity of the crowd was no easy fate phone. Goods at that time noted the man of calls made from a landline but didn't specify which local number had been dialed. There was heightened activity on the phone accounts of several members of the vermont family during peak times when the crow was active? This in and of itself wasn't necessarily suspicious h, call from the crow provoked other goals within the family, Making it an ongoing chain reaction, despite the different dynamic, within the family, no one. Stood out as a clear suspect. The crow had insinuated the identity of various individuals, but this was actually unintentional way to deflect from the truth, given that the crew was sympathetic towards Jackie there were suspicions that Jackie himself was behind the coals.

Jackie's wife lily on had an incredibly strange relationship with the veal minds. So it made sense that she could have been the female accomplice. She had also Dana down that's home when hey installed the merits, lillian's parents disliked the vehemence And some wondered whether lily on was fading them information.

His woolen hat had been pulled over his face and was loosely secured around his neck. With this, type of rob the firefighters removed Gregory's had there were no signs of violence. On the contrary, I was struck by how serene and unblemished he looked as though he was in a peaceful slave. Gregory hadn't been strangled, locked, the crow said, in fact the forensic pathologist who conducted he's autopsy, couldn't find any signs that a struggle had taken place at all There were no bruises on Gregory's body, nor had the rope

Greece, parents, jean Marie and christine philammon wearing consolidated little grey, ray had been the lot of their lives. He was it a lot. Oh, intelligent child full of happiness and energy. He loved to dance, especially to the music of Michael Jackson, shaky with a contagious, laugh, Gregory gotta great thrill out of playing pranks on his parents. But for all his mischief. He was equally tender and affectionate. He was particularly fond of he stuffed monkey caky who he took with him everywhere. Gregory, loved, hugs and cases and would snake into his parents on weekends to enjoy Extra long cargoes. placating developments. Crippling grief was the unbelievable reality that someone within their own family could do something so cruel, who

hate them enough to take the life of their only child. Jean Marie cast suspicion on his brothers in laws roger the poor, lad, Jacques go and the couple were taken into custody. They both The tide alibis and were promptly ruled out. As jean Marie and Christine struggled to comprehend what was happening and then vote I perceived arrived in their mail box the day after Gregory's death. It was addressed to jean marie using swirling cursive inside It was a short anonymous letter. It read. I hope that you die of grief boss. Your money can't give you back your son. He is my revenge. You bastard.

the envelope was postmarked. Five, fifteen p m on Tuesday october. Sixteen the day Gregory was killed. It had been sent from the la paunch post office, which was one point three kilometers north of the old man's home postal, where said. The last mile collection occurred around five. Twenty pay, an bought the mailbox. Could they never did any time between one. Fifty five and five twenty p m that day then, that gregory was adopted some time between five five and five thirty p m. This presented a few possibilities. One The killer had sent the letter before speaking to the veal man's house to snatch gregory too. The killer already had Gregory with them when they posted the letter or three. They had an acted alone.

It seemed unlikely that the killer would have sent a letter prior to the kidnapping had they done so they would have had to have full confidence that the abduction was going ahead. How could I be sure Gregory would be playing outside what, if the opportunity to adapt TIM never arose was simply too many variables, but there were working with an accomplice? This someone else could have taken care of the male drop once the boy was taken. The task of overseeing the investigation was handed to local magistrate, thirty three year old job, Jean Michel, lambert Gregory. murder was expected to be an open and shot case. All police Hoddan do was identified, the crow and they'd have the killer. They knew the

I came from within the villain family, which narrow down the suspect waste significantly. But it wasn't as simple as it seemed Gregory's grandmother, manic veil man was one of thirteen siblings alone. Olaf, the extended family. consisted of over one hundred and forty individuals and previous him. Ass to identify the kola had proved fruitless. during the crows peak time of activity, several recipients had managed to recall the coals, but the recordings weren't, a particularly high quality The crow had made obvious attempt to disguise their voice, speaking in a hoarse raspy tone Given the muffled sound, it was likely they covered the receiver with a handkerchief full piece of fabric, as it stood

Nobody recognised the coal as voice police began. questioning relatives of the victims, families and verifying alibis. They gathered handwriting samples to compare against the first and finally,. Letters sent to jean Marie one was in block capitals. The other ring cursive script. Individuals were required to write the message from the last letter with by their left and right hands this apples were then sent to my handwriting expert for analysis. with so many relatives that was slow, moving process. Although jean Marie Christine lived in a quiet spot on the outskirts of la Paz, it wasn't Isolated, Several residents lived nearby and had been home or in the area. At the time, Gregory was abducted, it had still been

broad, daylight. Local man had been walking his dog, neither vehemence property, but he hadn't seen any cost DR by all, noticed anything of interest, nor had any of your minds. Neighbours, they were aware of the ongoing harassment from the crow had they witnessed any suspicious activity, neither property. They said they would have reported it. A man who lived further down the road record hearing a car drive up the hill at around five point: five p m, but he the hard drive back down again. He never saw so couldn't vouch for the color role, model. In the days leading up to the crime. Several townsfolk headed just an unfamiliar grain.

This witness saw the same car driving towards dough, sell the village where Gregory's body was found at four forty five p m. No other cars were saying driving between la Paz, gender. So, during these k timeframe. Hundreds of houses and several busy factories overlooked the walloons river between the two villages, dozens of people ads. Then time near the water on the night, Gregory died. Yet no one had written just anything out of the ordinary one woman had crossed the, bridge, do so at around five thirty. She recalled

looking into the river and noticing what she thought was a garbage bag floating in the water. In hindsight, she wondered whether it could have been Gregory's body, the forensic follow just doing this unlikely. Although the exact time of death couldn't bacon fund, they believed Gregory had a likely died sometime around six p m. It was possible, he might not have been thrown into the river rental hours after he was killed. On local, had witnessed a middle aged man hanging around the laplante post office, around five p m on october fifteen, and sixteen he had brown Curly hair a strong, build and war glasses on October twenty two six days after Gregory's the police relates to compensate sketch of they suspect asking any.

We recognised the man to come forward. a local man voluntarily presented himself to police. He identified. Himself- is the one in the sketch hey claimed it only bain at the post office does.

Another.

was that Gregory's grandfather albert had been raised in a broken home when he was just a baby.

The accusation levelled against the couple by marie yarns laroche unusual. It was merely based on a time Jackie had left his house on the morning of the crime. It had nothing to do with anything.

They also find it strange that Marie orange called the police from a public telephone instead of her own home. Perhaps she I don't want someone in her house to hear.

raising lot at the bottom of the paper. Two letters were clearly visible. They handle The initials was superimposed against bernard Laroche signature, there, run deniable similarities. The team wanted more time to conduct tests and confirm the shore, but for the police this was all they needed to hear the following day.

An officer asked if he'd ever sent threatening letters to the film on family. bernard responded. Never I have nothing against them think. Why would I do that Tell me why, in the end, It was a legitimate question, although circumstantial evidence, was stepping up against the bernard laroche police had yet to identify a compelling motive.

No one in the family had previously suspected bernard of bang the crowd he was very close with gregory's uncle michel and maintained good relations with the family overall, wasn't known to Bain, aggressive or shady person and remained impartial. Do any family cornflakes upon reflection? These factors actually worked against him He bernard shaw Michel several times a week and was privy to war That was going on in the veal mounds lives. He lived close to gregory's grandparents and was present at family gatherings. This not only meant he had access to the information divulged by the crowd. He was also close enough to witness the impact of the crows ongoing harassment. arose family had a phone line installed in nineteen. Eighty one coming siding with the calls to jean Marie and christine philammon. There

ass also had a staircase during several of the crows phone calls. Several recipients thought they. Could he some on cloning steps? In the background. Criminal profile, as believed the crow likely presented themselves to the world as pleasant and somewhat withdrawn, they would have drawing attention to themselves by being amicable unfriendly behind closed doors. It was a different story. The crew was likely driven by height, jealousy and resentment. Bernard had to most of the things that he's cousin, Jean Marie man had, but nothing came quite, is easy. Bernard mother had died shortly after giving birth, hay and he's fine. I went to live with these maternal grandparents

Jean Marie, on the other hand, had enjoyed a relatively normal childhood, surrounded by his parents and siblings. it had taken bernard six years of hard work and study to prove himself worthy of the position of factory foreman and nodded till his light twenties encounter.

Jackie filaments, illegitimate status within the family had alleged there. was another quote: bastard cha among them, rumors, spread. That bernard could have in fact been albertville minds. Biological son. If bernard was suspicious of this, could explore in his resentment towards albert. Perhaps he begrudged the fact that albert

had taken responsibility for jackie, but not But his own flesh and blood bernard's close, Friendship with Michel philammon was also significant mission. Who was known to be immature and naive. He harbour unhealthy jealousy towards people, he viewed as above him in particular, he's other jean marie. Inferiority was a real self spot for Michel and he's feats of envy had previously caused many conflicts within the family. Shortly before Gregory's death, Michel vill man and his wife had visited jean Marie and Christine's home, the couple had shut off. Then you live on land swayed and talked about their plans to extend their house. it was highly likely that Michel told bernard about this visit. If Bernard Laroche, harboured, intense feelings of jealousy and inadequacy towards jean Marie

Ass to guide is believed. This could have been enough to finally push him over the edge shortly after Gregory's death bernard had how journalists dijon care from paris match magazine they got what they deserved.

Given that gregory velma had been abducted sometime after five at three p m this man to burn I wouldn't have had enough time to pull off the crime. With these alibi, verified police had no choice, but to let him go. However, investigators reviewing the statements soon noticed a discrepancy. Bernard said, when he arrived at Louis S, house maria, was there watching television. However, Rio gave the reverse, she said the banal

Police made inquiries around miracles high school and discovered that the usual driver hadn't been working that day Several of miracles classmates recalled that she had in vain on the boss at all. Maria had a distinct head of curly, red hair and a faithful of freckles, so her apps Was easily noted, one friend called saying: Muriel leave school in a cocky grain vehicle that matched the description of. An odd laroche is persia. Least confronted muriel with this discrepancy. It didn't take long for her to crack.

She had made a cheat allied about catching the boss home waiting to Muriel when she finished school one october. Sixteen a nod, was waiting at the front in his car. He saw Sebastian was with him Called Muriel over it was the first time had ever picked muriel out from school. She assumed because he needed someone to baby sit Sebastian.

Miriam stating that car with Sebastian when not returned shortly afterwards, he had a small boy with him. Who was wearing a woollen had. Miriam haven't seen the job before, but he looked to me the same age as sebastian. The boy got into the back seat. Bernard made one more quick: stop in la paunch then drive the group to another The village that Muriel wasn't familiar with bernard got out taking the boy with him. She wasn't sure how long bernard was gone for, but when he returned he was alone. They then drove back to our louis.

She explained I didn't say anything in the days following the tragedy, because I was afraid to talk about it. lied so that my brother in law and my sister wouldn't be bothered. I thought it was better to tell the truth, because was too serious. A thing to hide policing,

stand by materials. Confession concerned could be making it up to get attention. They gave her The option to recount her statement Muriel declined adamant that she was telling the truth. She stated its true arena perfectly. I will remember at all my life. The presiding magistrate judge jean Michel than there was out of town when new rio confessed. It was there four decided that no action would be taken until he's return. Three days later. On Monday november five judge land there met with Mary. Oh she repeated her confession: saying she hadn't come board earlier, because she was afraid of bernard.

Even gregory parents found it hard to wave with jean marie telling report is that he could no longer trust anyone. He'd away found bernard to be helpful and kind. He stated if it's really him let justice be served oppress. Com,

france was held during, which should judge lambert revealed that muriel ball was a partial witness and had been in the car with bernard. This was a big mistake The time there was nothing in french law that protected a minor from being taken into custody. Mere yo was only fifteen. She had a learning difficulties and was in a special well education class at school, Maria hadn't, been offered a lawyer or advice the right to remain silent. Publicly releasing her name in judge lambert had essentially outed mary to her entire family. the following day. Journalists were summoned to the home of bernard and marie Angela roach, the fish

It upon should do so never went to that place where that kid was drowned Muriel admitted she'd made the whole story out. She said the police told her the bernard Laroche had already confessed to the crime before fading her details, they threatened to send to a reformatory school if she didn't go along with the confession. Muriel claimed she only complied out of fear. As for the sketches of roots, they supposedly took Muriel said a police officer had shown her these locations. She,

simply repeating his instructions, Very said she took the boss home as usual one october. Sixteen and didn't But not at all that day she told the report is Bernard is innocent, then, these innocent, I never went with my brother in law.

The many Cereals retraction, didn't exonerate banal, opt in fact had had the opposite effect.

A neighbour of the Laroche family told the press that, on the net. Bernard was arrested. He either Muriel being beaten by her family banal, Was marianna strongly denied this accusation? A family member later explained that date throwing rocks at trespassing journalists which could have accounted for the noise. Marie on told reporters, the family had no influence over Muriel whatsoever.

All up individuals, Bernard Laroche had mentioned crossing parts with on the afternoon of gregory's death, where assemble

What other local courthouse. Hundreds of angry locals, gathered outside hoping to catch a glimpse of the alleged child killer Other players in the story that continue to dominate national headlines as nod was led from a police car. Some members the crowd chanted, kill him kill him. Witnesses were able to verify bernard's movements for the entire day of october. Sixteen safe for that crucial forty five minute window, where gregory was adopted. bernard's knots loya call for his immediate release? The request was denied the gregory's parents, the fact that. A nod had visited. Gregory's uncle michel on the day of the crime was highly suspicious They knew how close the two cousins were and how Joe

as Michel was of jean marie success on the nod, Gregory murder Michel had also been so agitated that he'd been placed in police custody. Although Michel had reported receiving calls from the crow over the years, domain alone? Every time it was no different when he received the final call announcing that Gregory had been killed. What if they call had actually taken place at all. Was it possible That Michel was just following orders from someone else: jean marie started prying michel for information which deeply angered their parents. They'd always been very protective as Michel and the Simulation that he could have been involved in gregory's death was something they were prepared to stand for it caused a great rift in the family

Jean Marie severed all ties with his parents completely. A grounds K Bob was clearing out some fir tree on the river bank. Behind the fire station in though so. It was right next to the location, Muriel bow claimed. Bernard Laroche had gotten out of the car with Gregory. It was where investigators had concluded. Gregory's body was putting the river before floating down stream. nearby bushes the grounds cape. I found a hybrid make a needle and a two millilitre vile of insulin I immediately notified the police used for the day early treatment of diabetes when given in I'd doses ensuring can cause a person to slip into a hyper glossy? Make coma.

The question was therefore raised as to whether gregory could have been injected with insulin prior to being thrown in the river. This would explain the serene look on his face, as well as the lack of defensive marks on his body, the forensic pathologist who conducted gregory's autopsy confirmed this was possible. However, they haven't been instructed to run any toxicology testing, nor had they checked gregory's body. Any nato marks. When freelance journalist Sylvain a bar found out about the insulin he began making inquiries and me A startling discovery, someone with ties to the investigator. She was indeed a diabetic, mirror oh bows, mother, janine, silver tracked down janine nurse shaken.

that Janine used the same brand of insulin and syringes. As though Found on the river bank. Ace magistrate? Judge jean Michel them bear didn't think the line of inquiry was worth pursuing further. It was common. for diabetics to administer, show and in public places, and the brand was widely used. So the discovery wasn't necessarily attributed to the crime. Besides, some new witnesses had come forward with some much more compelling information. at the textile factory. Where Christine philammon worked, it was customary for employees to be led out just before five p m, so that those who needed to could make the five o clock train. A majority of staff members took advantage of this, even if they had their. Own transport. After

going out on the afternoon of tuesday october. Sixteen nineteen eighty four one in play was Working towards developing a post office to visit her sister, who lived near nearby. he saw one of her colleagues parked outside of the post office. It was chris The envious man. Moments later another coworker approached. They noticed Chris dane doing a! U turn in front of the building. She didn't drive towards Gregory's nannies house luck she claimed, but in the opposite direction to whether coworkers came forward to report that I too had saint Christine philammon at the le paunch post office straight after work. They had. Why Does she dropped at least one envelope into the mailbox. the final letter sent by the crow had been postmarked. Five fifteen p m.

The investigation was getting bigger than the local police could handle under immense power. try to solve the increasingly turbulent case in judge land Finally, appointed the national police to take over they confronted christine, the allegations that she'd been spotted at the post office on the afternoon. Her son was killed. Christine said that her colleagues were mistaken, she had been there the day before Christine claimed that after finishing work on Monday, she'd posted a chair for a mail order, police car tat s. The company in question they produce then invoice confirming they had indeed I received a mail order from Christine philammon, which had been dated Monday October fifteen when Christine described the outfit she'd worn on the monday and matched the description given by

Those who believed they'd seen her at the post office on the tuesday for the new investigators enough seeds of doubt had been planted to warrant the question. could Christine philammon have been involved in her sons, murder It was a possibility, died considered from early on for a few raisins neighbours who had helped Christine look for Gregory when he first went missing. Hadn't recalled, say, The young boy play outside at all they, so hadn't seen anyone else in the area this led some today. Christine story from the gecko, whoever posted Let our claiming that crime had to have full certainty that data have access to the boy and would be able to pull off the crime as the boys, mother Christine, could ensure this gregory

post mortem concluded that the four year old had died from drowning A theory emerged that Gregory might have died by accident, perhaps crew. Steam had left him unsupervised while he was taking a bath, and today they drowned fool. Bain electrocuted, during the repercussions she could have staged a crime to deflect attention from herself. Alternatively, she could have intentionally drowned in the tub before disposing of his body and of a lion river to place. The blame on the crowd. The problem with both of these theories was timing. Christy. he had picked gregory out from his nannies house. Just after five p m neighbors had then saying Christine desperately looking for her son just after five thirty, if Greg he had died in Christine's care and

She had just under half an hour to get him re dressed and clean the bathroom for any traces of accident wholesale play. She did, I have to get his body to the car without her neighbours, saying before, making that of kilometer round trip from la paunch. To do so,. Somewhere in all this, she had to run at imposed a letter claiming the crime and find time to call me. EL avail, mine and take responsibility for the murder all without being seen. Nobody had same christine or her black run on the road leading from the pond to do so. Although one of Christine's neighbours recalled they were walking towards development time at around five p m on October. Sixteen christine Drove past giving them us wave but the time The neighbour raged developments house,

danger, runner wasn't in the car porn. the VA river contained unique micro organisms, but the ward off and in gregory's lungs. During these autopsy hadn't been tested. There. For there was no way of confirming whether he had been drowned in the river or elsewhere. With the media and public still fixated on gregory veal, minds, murder, I didn't take long for work. to spread that Christine was now being considered. A sauce backed the possibility, that the young boy had been killed by his mother was scandalous news newspaper and magazines didn't hold back with sensational headlines and articles geared towards christine's guild.

they hunt in on the possibility that Christine could have been the crow from the very beginning. The public were quick to jump on board within days. The same people who were sympathising with the graving mother would now accusing her Christine responded. Those who believe on guilty are mistaken. Why would I have done that I no longer have a child, I don't have anything. Police began. Looking for any discrepancies in christine statements and exploring possible motives, but Christine's worry about the afternoon in question, had never change, they for evidence that Christine could have been trading on Jean marie. What? If greg, I wasn't jean Marie child. After all, was it possible that chris they could have had an affair with bernard Laroche could show

You ve been working in cahoots with bernard or another of jean Marie relatives, but there was nothing. Suggest she was anything but unwavering, lay faithful. christine and Jean Marie had remained by one another sides throughout the entire ordeal and the accusation, friends against Christine, didn't change that they apply In public holding hands and gave interviews strongly rejecting the possibility that Christine could have been involved in gregory's death in any capacity. Still consumed by grief at the loss of their son, the couple advised that having another baby as soon as possible could help with the healing process com. staying soon found out. She was pregnant when he's got out. Outrage in shewed

viewed her haste to have another baby as a sign that she wasn't affected by gregory's death. Others thought Christine's. Pregnancy was a form of protection if she was guilty of killing gregory fragile state meant she might be spared from jail. Christine and Jean Marie denied or the rumours and accusations they publicly announced their desire to undergo a lie to attack test. The request was sent to the french president. It was denied. In addition to having a new person of interest for gregory's murder, the case against, but la started, falling apart when team of handwriting experts had examined the final letter sent by the crow the minutes

their meeting. Hadn't been recorded in compliance with the code of criminal procedure. Therefore, their evidence about the impact sense of bernard la rochelle, initials were deemed in valid on a technicality the letter had since being tested for fingerprints, but the raw material had been used. Not only did this may, no fingerprints were detected, but the impressions were no longer visible. any possible evidence on the letter had been effectively destroyed. Speculation of a conspiracy theory started to take hold There were allegations that the cases magistrate Joe jean Michel land. There had been working closely with bernard defence, dame Genes were raised as to why the evidence was so poorly handled. Why hadn't? Further forensic testing bain ordered during Gregory's post mortem.

Was a judge lambert simply trying to throw christine under the boss just to deflect suspicion from bernard. But as bananas lawyers pointed out, there were other questions to gregory's parents had, grab him as being wary of strangers at therefore didn't make sense that he would have happily followed bernard into his car. With the our protest, the two barely knew each other. Conversely, had gregory screen to afford show His mother or neighbours would have heard something. Furthermore, there was no way the bernard could have known that Gregory would have been playing outside unsupervised on the afternoon of the crime. Nothing could have guaranteed him that there would be no witnesses the idea that he'd preemptively picked up a muriel bow to help him pull off. The kidnapping was therefore implausible.

It also made no sense that he would have kidnapped gregory in the presence of his young sun and sister in law additionally bernard, had no prior criminal record hadn't made any semblance of a confession and, most importantly, no legitimate reason to kill. Gregory vellum on by February nineteen. Eighty five, three and a half months had passed since Gregory's model with Case against bernard Laroche becoming increasingly unstable, the judge, bear made a controversial decision. Not Laroche would be released from raiment on judicial supervision, but immediately returned to his house and work with the journalist following him every step of the way. Meanwhile,

Her story never changed. A newly appointed panel of handwriting experts was tasked with examining the letters from the crowd, while the first hand. Believed at the writing was a match for the nod laroche. The new panel concluded that The knowledge handwriting was mostly incompatible. The fame remember whose handwriting showed the most consistency with the crow was deemed to be none other than Christine philammon

this finding was announced by the media before investigators had a chance to bright, been used to christine and jean Marie. Now for months pregnant. The news had a profound impact on Christine. She started bleeding and had to be rushed to hospital Investigators visited her at her bedside as hordes of journalists gathered outside. They revealed to christine that her handwriting matched the crow had a probability of eighty percent. Christine commented. you can have me do as many dictation as you want and saying So one hundred percent match it will not change, my behavior or the truth. The result, did nothing to change John moravian minds mind. He told reporters between the experts
