On Wednesday, professional criminal investigators are conducting forensic examinations of isolated locations in the area. Pyrenees Where is the body UK Hiker Esther Dingley found.
This French On Monday, the detectives were brought here by Esther’s own boyfriend Dan Colgate.
He found her body after searching the route the 37-year-old had taken before disappearing while hiking alone in November last year.
“The criminal investigators are still at the scene,” said a source who was involved in the search for more evidence on Wednesday.
“They have set up an investigation area where the bodies of the missing persons are found. Some of her equipment has been found, but not all of them.”
The team is composed of criminal investigation technicians (ICT in French) from Toulouse and is supported by the mountain police and military personnel in nearby Luchon.
The skeletal remains are close to where part of Este’s skull was found two weeks ago.
There is no direct information on how the police missed human remains for such a long time, but the source said it was in a natural hiding place, such as a ravine or cave.
Soon after, French investigators admitted for the first time that Este’s death may have been caused by a foul.
Christophe Amunzateguy, the French prosecutor who led the investigation, said when he “prioritized tragic accidents”: “The purpose is to present a scenario to explain the disappearance of Esther Dingley.
“Find out what might have happened-whether it’s accidental essays or crime essays, because we will not close the door to any hypothesis.”
The missing equipment included Esther’s bright yellow Lanshun ½ Ultralight tent, which has long been considered the key to solving the mystery because it may provide forensic clues.
The tent is made of nylon, silicon and aluminum, so it can be used in the wild in the Pyrenees even when exposed to the natural environment.
French police chief Jean-Marc Bordinaro and others said that after Esther’s death, her body may have been dragged across the mountains by wild animals.
Speaking of the part of the skull discovered by hikers last month, Commander Bordinaro said: “Everything shows that these bones have been moved by animals recently. They were not there a few days ago.”
Brown bears and wolves are among the creatures that roam freely in the mountains, and raptors such as vultures are also common.
A spokesperson for Esther’s family said before the latest discovery: “When this dress and toolkit appears, it may answer many questions – or ask more questions.”
