About the case, a summary on her wikipedia page :

"The Estelle Mouzin case is a French criminal case which began on 9 January 2003 with the disappearance of Estelle Mouzin in the city of Guermantes in France. Estelle Mouzin was a nine-year-old girl who was returning from school when she disappeared."

"On Thursday 9 January 2003, Estelle Mouzin, a nine-year-old girl, disappeared on the way back from school in Guermantes. She was seen for the last time in front of a bakery, while she was coming back to her mother's home, Suzanne Mouzin, who was in the process of divorce with the girl's father, Eric Mouzin. Her mother reported the fact she was missing to the local police station shortly after 7 P.M. Her disappearance had a huge media coverage all over the country."

Today, Michel Fourniret admitted he killed her. He have been a suspect for a long time now but proofs were lacking. Earlier, in 2019, his Monique Fourniret told to the police she lied for him and he wasn't with her when Estelle disappeared.

As for now we don't know if he said where he put her body.

I hope her family will able to find peace now, especially her heartbroken father who speak a lot on TV and in the medias. Also, I wish for them to be able to recover (is it the good word. Not sure if the use is good here) her.

I've searched Reddit, but did not find the tales of Fourniret and Olivier. Please let me know if I somehow overlooked more than a passing link.

This is a case involving a married French couple who sought virgins to rape and kill. He'd been "traumatised" after discovering on his wedding night that his first wife was not a virgin like himself, and he claimed this "betrayal" led to his acts.

The couple met in the 1980s while he was serving a prison sentence for sexual assault, after she replied to his advert for a pen-pal.

Their letters showed they formed a pact under which, in exchange for Fourniret murdering Olivier's first husband, she would find him virgins to satisfy his obsession. Fourniret never killed the husband, but she kept her part of the bargain.

The wife was not an idle participant, but physically involved in all aspects of the crime. Apart from helping Fourniret entrap and capture girls, it was Olivier’s job to check that some victims fit her husband’s sick requirement. She did this by physically confirming their virginity was still intact.

Their first official kill was in 1987. Olivier stopped her van in Burgundy to ask directions from Isabelle Laville, a 17-year-old schoolgirl who was walking home. Laville got into the van to help. Olivier then stopped to pick up Fourniret. Laville was raped and murdered and her body thrown down a well.

This murder set a pattern for the couple: lure their victims, often on roadsides or at railway stations, by asking for help or directions. When they committed their second murder, Olivier was eight months pregnant - this helped them convince a young woman to help them find a doctor. In another incident, they posed with their son sat in a baby seat in their car.

After finishing with the girls, Fourniret frequently killed the girls with a screwdriver, else he'd just plain old strangle them.

Their exploits were unintentionally aided by the existence of another serial killer in France at the same time - Mark Dutroux. Further complicating matters, the couple traveled between France and Belgium over the course of their crimes, and yet another serial killer was active in Belgium at that same time.

One of the couple's kills, Elizabeth, was long thought to be a victim of Dutroux (until Olivier turned her husband in - after discovering Dutroux's wife was convicted - and he ultimately confesses, leading police to Elizabeth's body, plus seven).

His murderous trail seems to have started in the 1980's, and cont
