Latest Forensic Analyses in Grégory Villemin Case Yield No Breakthroughs
Over 40 years after the murder of 4-year-old Grégory Villemin, new DNA and voice biometrics tests fail to provide significant findings, but investigations continue under judicial oversight.
- The complementary DNA and voice biometrics analyses ordered in 2024 did not produce significant findings, as confirmed by the Dijon Court of Appeal prosecutor general on March 26, 2025.
- The analyses focused on DNA traces from items linked to the crime and voice biometrics from anonymous calls, but no conclusive connections were established.
- The Villemin family had requested these analyses in 2023 in hopes of clarifying the circumstances surrounding their son's murder in 1984.
- Investigations remain active under the authority of the president of the chamber of instruction in Dijon, with no resolution to the case after more than four decades.
- The case has been marked by investigative missteps, familial conflict, and evolving forensic methods, yet the Villemin family continues to express trust in the justice system.
