In July 2023, two-year-old Émile Soleil vanished from a tiny Alpine hamlet in southern France. For months, no trace was found—until March 2024, when a hiker discovered bones near the village. DNA confirmed they were Émile’s. What followed changed everything: signs of violent trauma, evidence the body was moved, and a criminal investigation that turned inward. In this episode of Bad Things, we trace the timeline, examine the theories, and break down what most likely happened.
