The Civil Guard works with the hypothesis that the skeletal remains found yesterday Sunday by a hunter in the lower area of Mount Peña Oroel, near Jaca, belong to Cédric Tauleygne, the French citizen whose whereabouts have been unknown since July 4, after of shooting his ex-wife, Aurélie Pardon, a 32-year-old teacher with whom he had two young children, and her partner, in the town of Pouyastruc, near Tarbes, on the other side of the Pyrenees.
The Civil Guard had already searched the surroundings of this area, suspecting that he might have hidden in the woods after crossing the border on his motorcycle, which they found months ago on a road near Peña Oroel.
After receiving the hunter's notice, the Jaca Judicial Police team together with the Citizen Security team went to the place where the remains were found, as reported today by the Civil Guard in a statement. The displaced troops had to request the support of the helicopter of the armed institute, based in Huesca, and the Special Rescue Group for Mountain Intervention (GREIM) to be able to access this enclave and evacuate the body to the capital of Huesca. Subsequently, he was transferred to the hospital in this city to perform an autopsy.
Everything suggests that it is Cédric Tauleygne, 34, judging by the belongings located next to the body, a backpack and his wallet, awaiting the results of the DNA tests.
From the outset, the French police authorities pointed out that Tauleygne, a reservist of the Gendarmerie and the 35th Parachute Regiment from Tarbes, could have planned his escape in advance in the direction of North Africa. After the double crime, he contacted the gendarmes by telephone to inform them of his supposed intention to commit suicide, according to Efe, which also points out that Tauleygne's hand held a firearm in the direction of his head.
