Disappearance of Delphine Jubillar: the trail of the cemetery tombs

She was a night nurse at Clinique Claude-Bernard in Albi, she was married, she had two children and she lived in Cagnac-Les-Mines. Delphine Jubillar was 33 years old at the time of her disappearance on December 16, 2020. Since the opening of the investigation seeking to find her, various leads have been explored but neither the body nor the truth have been found. “We think of her every day” confides one of her work colleagues, for Actu.fr.

After two years of investigations and media enthusiasm for this affair, the investigators are pushing one of their tracks a little further: they want to open the tombs of the cemetery of Cagnac-les-Mines, the surroundings of which they have been searching for a year, to see if the body of the nurse would not have been placed there. Because of remains, the investigators do not find any. It all dates back to December 16, 2020 when her husband, Cédric Jubillar, decided to call the gendarmerie because his wife disappeared during the night.

But even with citizen beats bringing together 1,000 people, drones, a helicopter, dozens of gendarmes and divers looking for her, the nurse remains untraceable. According to Liberation, the public prosecutor of Toulouse has opened an investigation court for “kidnapping, detention or arbitrary sequestration”, which he describes as “very worrying” and, given the sensitivity of the case, has entrusted two investigating judges with the task of managing the judicial aspect of the investigation. Since then, the nurse’s husband has been indicted for voluntary spousal homicide.

Seemingly ordinary, Delphine Jubillar’s life was complex. Between deception, lover and divorce, it is still difficult to establish the reasons for his disappearance.

At the time of her disappearance, Delphine Jubillar was planning to divorce and was having an affair with the “confidant of Montauban” as the investigators call him, according to Le Parisien. When questioned, her lover has an alibi: he lived more than 70 km from Delphine’s house and then spent the evening with his own wife.

It is the track of Cédric, her husband, who is privileged, because several inconsistencies would have been noted in his speech and his behavior, pushing the investigators to question him.

When his wife disappears, the suspect participates in several citizen fights to find Delphine. One of them was organized near the cemetery of Saint-Dalmaze, a place that Cédric would have particularly excavated.

From now on, the search for the young woman is done in the cemetery, an essential point for the investigators because the cemetery is located 2 km from the house of the Jubillar family, according to La Dépêche, a perimeter which “corresponds to the last boundaries of the mobile phone, always untraceable, of the nurse”. And for Cédric, the cemetery is an important place. He once came to do some research with an acquaintance and showed him: “plenty of places to hide a body”, even opening the drawer of one of the graves.

An assertion which aroused the interest of the investigators who decided to start the opening, or at least the identification of the tombs which could have been opened. “It remains to be seen whether the two investigating judges in charge of the case, after having exhausted the other avenues, will give their agreement to have the graves opened”, concludes the regional daily.
