Cédric Jubillar's hour-by-hour schedule on the day of Delphine's disappearance

On the night of December 15-16, 2020, Delphine Jubillar mysteriously disappeared from her home in Cagnac-les-Mines, Tarn. Her husband, Cédric, the prime suspect, remains at the heart of the investigation. As the trial approaches , the analysis of her schedule that day continues to raise many questions.

An ordinary day on the construction site

Indeed, on December 15, 2020, Cédric Jubillar began his day as usual, according to his own statements to investigators. Waking up at 6 a.m., he took a bus around 7 a.m. to go to Albi, where he was working on a construction site near the university. On the agenda: laying laminate flooring, touching up paint, then lunch on site at noon. The afternoon continued at the same pace until 5 p.m., when he left the construction site.

At 6:10 p.m., he boarded the bus to Cagnac-les-Mines, arriving twenty-five minutes later. By 6:45 p.m., he said, he was back at his family home. Technical data, including the location tracking of his phone, confirmed these times.

An evening without arguments?

From this point on, Cédric Jubillar's story becomes more vague, particularly between 11 p.m. and 4 a.m., the critical period during which Delphine disappears. That evening, their 18-month-old daughter Elyah is asleep in her room since 9 p.m. Louis, their eldest son, is watching "France's Got Talent" with his mother. At 10:19 p.m., Delphine sends a final message to her lover, proof that she is still awake.

Around 10:30 p.m., Louis joined his father in the master bedroom, then Delphine joined them. At 10:55 p.m., the child went to bed. He would later say he heard an argument shortly afterward. Cédric's phone went off at 10:08 p.m., only to turn back on at 3:53 a.m. A crucial window of nearly six hours during which his version of events could not be fully verified.

Cédric Jubillar claims to have noticed around 3:45 a.m. that his wife was no longer on the couch where she usually slept. He then says he inspected the house, the garage, and the garden. At 3:53 a.m., he turned his phone back on to contact some of Delphine's friends. At 4:09 a.m., he called the police to report her missing.

When investigators arrived at the scene at 4:50 a.m., they found Cédric throwing a duvet Delphine used to sleep under into the washing machine. This action was considered strange in such a context.

Inconsistencies that sow doubt

Recently, a new twist occurred in this case: Cédric's phone reportedly landed at 3:21 a.m. in a wooded area near the home , where new searches were requested by Pauline Rongier, a lawyer for the civil party. But this trace is probably erroneous. Telephone experts assure that a switched-off phone, which was the case between 10:08 p.m. and 3:53 a.m., cannot be geolocated. It could therefore be a technical glitch, as appears to have been the case for another boundary survey, which occurred on December 15 at midday.

These inaccuracies undermine the demands for new investigations, which Delphine's loved ones consider crucial. Pending the trial scheduled for September 2025, Cédric Jubillar remains presumed innocent. But more than four years after the events, many gray areas still persist regarding what really happened on the night of December 15-16, 2020.
