Rodez

The Aveyron region of France is the location where a mother and son went missing on March 20, 2026, from Vailhourles. This disappearance triggered a large-scale search involving dozens of gendarmes, drones, helicopters, and specialized teams. Suspicion quickly fell on the father of the child, Cédric Prizzon, and his current partner, who were also missing. The investigation led authorities to Portugal, where Prizzon was arrested. Tragically, the bodies of his ex-partner and current partner were discovered buried in a remote location in Portugal. Prizzon has confessed to killing both women but denies premeditation. The two children of Cédric Prizzon have been repatriated to France and placed under the care of social services, where they will receive medico-psychological support. The case highlights the issue of femicide and the devastating impact on the children involved.
