"This two-tone hair of 8 cm was discovered during the first findings on a portion of wooden board supporting two other DNA: that of Jonathann and Alexia," said Tuesday the daily's journalists. The board was near the trunk opening. It was placed under a box and under a printer in the suspect's service vehicle.

The plaintiffs discovered this element while they consulted the file of instruction on which appeared the report of the badysis of DNA. Always according The Parisianthis sample was taken as part of an badysis to determine whether Martine Henry's DNA was present on the sheet that had "served as a shroud to Alexia".

"It does not prove anything"

According to BFM TV, Jonathann Daval's brother-in-law, Grégory Gay, read the "5000 pages of the investigation file" and wanted to share this discovery with the magistrate instructor of the court of Besançon before the double confrontation of 7 December through a courier. His goal, to launch new investigations. This is also the wish of Gilles-Jean Portejoie, his lawyer, and Jean-Marc Florand, who represents Alexia's parents.

"It's not overwhelming to have a hair that is found in a vehicle even though this vehicle was used to transport a body, it proves nothing," responded the 30-year-old lawyer, Randall Schwerdorffer. According to him, the presence of this hair "can be explained in many ways". He accused Grégory Gay of transforming himself into "an investigator and almost a judge of instruction".

This new element comes two days before Jonathann Daval's next hearing before the investigating judge and more than a week before his confrontation with his brother-in-law and his sister-in-law Grégory and Stéphanie Gay, as well as to his in-laws Jean-Pierre and Isabelle Fouillot. Alexia's body was found in a wood near Gray-la-Ville (Haute-Saone), where the couple lived. Her husband had confessed to the murder of his wife in January, but changed his story on June 27. He accused his brother-in-law of strangling her at her parents' home on the night of October 27-28, 2017.
