The disappearance of Delphine Jubillar concerns a 33-year-old French nurse and mother of two who went missing from Cagnac-les-Mines, near Albi, in December 2020. In June 2021 her husband, was arrested and charged with her murder; he has consistently denied any involvement. A jury trial opened at the Tarn assizes court in Albi on 22 September 2025. On 17 October 2025, the court found her husband, Cédric Jubillar, guilty of murder and sentenced him to 30 years' imprisonment; his lawyers immediately announced an appeal.
The case has attracted intense national media attention, in part because Delphine Jubillar’s body has never been recovered and because aspects of the early investigation, including the conduct of first-responding gendarmes and other procedural decisions, have repeatedly been questioned in press reporting and expert commentary.
