Missing since April 10, 2025, 28-year-old jogger Agathe Hilairet from Vivonne (Vienne) was found dead this Sunday, May 4, in a wooded area south of the town. The young woman had been the subject of a nearly month-long search.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An autopsy has so far failed to determine the cause of death. The investigation is ongoing. According to Paris Match<\/em>, Hilairet had left her parents\u2019 home to go for a run and never returned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the night of her disappearance, her cellphone signal went dark in a forested area between “Les Grands Ormeaux” and “Le Champ Salaud” in Voulon, south of Vivonne. Her body was ultimately discovered nearby on May 4 by law enforcement officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Poitiers prosecutor’s office confirmed that the autopsy did not reveal a definitive cause of death. Further forensic analyses are underway. Prosecutor Cyril Lacombe stated that the investigation is ongoing and that the gendarmerie remains fully engaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From the outset, the gendarmerie deployed as many as 110 personnel, including aerial and canine units. Since then, around 20 investigators have continued the search full-time. In total, 215 interviews have been conducted, and nearly 900 witness statements have been collected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Initially, an official inquiry was opened for abduction and unlawful confinement against an unknown person. Suicide was considered early in the investigation, but entries in Hilairet\u2019s personal journal and a review of her online activity showed no signs of psychological distress. She was actively searching for a job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For now, the questions remain: Did Agathe Hilairet fall victim to a dangerous encounter? Was she attacked? Did she suffer a fatal accident? Investigators are considering all possible leads as forensic work continues in hopes of shedding light on this tragedy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Missing since April 10, 2025, 28-year-old jogger Agathe Hilairet from Vivonne (Vienne) was found dead this Sunday, May 4, in a wooded area south of the town.
