Missing person case - Murder of woman from 1967 after gruesome discovery in France before solution
After the discovery of a skeleton during construction work in Nord-France, a possible violent crime against a young woman in 1967 may be on the verge of being solved. According to the newspaper "La Voix du Nord," citing the police, the bones found in Bully-les-Mines could be those of a young woman who had been missing since July 4, 1967. The workers discovered the bones during archaeological investigations on a field where a swimming pool was to be built.
It is already certain that the skeleton belongs to a woman between the ages of 18 and 25, who had been lying there for over 50 years. DNA tests are now expected to provide confirmation as to whether the remains are those of the nursing assistant who went missing after leaving her mother's home, five kilometers from the bone discovery site.
Only the car of the nursing assistant was found at that time, one kilometer from the current excavation site. The newspaper reported that, in addition to the bones, buttons from clothing were also discovered in the soil. The investigations must also determine the time of death and, if there is involvement of third parties, check whether the crime has lapsed or not.
The missing person case of the nursing assistant from 1967, whose car was discovered near the site, is gaining renewed attention following the findings of a skeleton during construction work in Northern France. This potential violent crime involving a young woman might be finally solved with the DNA analysis of the skeleton and the buttons found near it. If confirmed, this scary find in Bully-les-Mines could potentially be classified as a case of femicide, adding another tragic chapter to France's history of violent crimes.
