The hiker who found the remains of French toddler Émile Soleil reportedly picked up the two-year-old's skull and handed it over to local military police, it has emerged.
However, sources close to the investigation have claimed police fear the hiker may have removed key evidence when she moved the remains with one insider telling Le Figaro newspaper 'it would have been better if she hadn't touched anything'. Ramblers found Émile's bones on Saturday in the idyllic Alpine hamlet of Le Vernet where he went missing last July
Some of the boy's bones were discovered by a hiker on Saturday in an area of the tiny French village - just two days after police returned to the crime scene to re-enact what had happened.

She said the anthropologists hope to 'identify whether or not these bones were on site or whether they could have been brought back by different means: a human person, an animal which would have transported them or the weather conditions which would have modified the ground and which would have moved them so far.'
He confirmed that Émile's parents' home, in the southern town of La Bouilladisse, near Marseille, was searched back in July, while the grandparents homes nearby, and in the Alps, were also raided. The extreme-right wing political background of the family has also been examined by police. Émile's father, Colomban Soleil, 26, was arrested for 'an attack on foreigners' in 2018.
