It was a shepherd who made the macabre discovery on May 7. That day, in Laragne-Monteglin (Hautes-Alpes), a town located about forty kilometers southwest of Gap, he found between twenty and thirty bones in a rabbit’s burrow.
Analyzes have since confirmed that they were human bones. According to BFMTV, the Criminal Research Institute of the National Gendarmerie discovered that they belong to at least four people. They are more than thirty years old.
Are they members of the same family?
They have not yet been identified, but genetic research could help to lift part of the veil on their origin. And understand the reason for their presence there.
“The investigations are currently focusing on DNA research to find out if these bones belong to people from the same family,” explains Gap public prosecutor Marion Lozac’hmeur to BFMTV. If this were the case, the trail of an unidentified vault could be considered.
