Photo: AFPFrench police have found the remains of an eight-year-old French schoolgirl who vanished from a wedding in the Alps last August in a case that gripped the country, a prosecutor said Wednesday. Chief suspect Nordahl Lelandais, a 34-year-old former soldier, guided investigators to the site in the hills after a trace of her blood was found in his car. "This evening Maelys' parents know that their daughter is dead," the prosecutor said. Sources close to the investigation said Lelandais began "cooperating" in the search for Maelys's body after he requested to speak to magistrates. The suspect's lawyer Alain Jakubowicz said that "lying is not a crime under French law".
