Disappearance of Lydie Logé: Monique Olivier expected in Orne for excavations and a reconstruction of events
Monique Olivier, the ex-wife of serial killer Michel Fourniret, will be visiting Orne to assist in the search for Lydie Logé, a woman who disappeared in 1993, after she confessed to her involvement in the case last year.
In January 2025, Monique Olivier, the ex-wife of notorious serial killer Michel Fourniret, confessed to her involvement in the disappearance of Lydie Logé, a 29-year-old woman from Orne, who went missing in December 1993. Olivier, who is serving a life sentence for other crimes, has been granted temporary release from Fleury-Mérogis prison to participate in upcoming excavations in Orne. Her confession brought renewed attention to the cold case, raising hopes among investigators and the victim's family for some form of closure. Olivier is expected to visit various sites in the Orne department, believed to be potential locations where Logé's remains may have been hidden. The case has haunted the local community for decades, and the involvement of Olivier has led to a renewed investigation into Fourniret’s wider criminal activities. Her cooperation is seen as crucial for the ongoing efforts to resolve this long-standing mystery and bring justice to the victim and her family. The planned excavations and reconstruction of events signify a critical phase for law enforcement and the community, who have remained affected by this tragedy. As Olivier engages with investigators, her insights could uncover new evidence or lead to the discovery of Logé’s body, which would provide much-needed answers to a case that has remained unresolved for over thirty years. This situation illustrates the complexities of dealing with cases involving serial offenders and the pursuit of long-awaited justice in a landscape where victims' families are still seeking closure.
