Nordahl Lelandais, a 38-year-old former military dog handler, is charged with the April 12, 2017, murder of a 24-year-old soldier, Arthur Noyer.

He will later be tried for the murder of 8-year-old Marlys de Araujo, who vanished on August 27, 2017, while attending a wedding with her family.
What happened to Lelandais?
Lelandais had been a guest at the wedding and was swiftly the chief suspect, but he denied the crime until the child’s DNA was found in his car. The military dog trainer finally guided investigators to her body in February 2018. Lelandais admitted to having killed the girl “by mistake” and hiding her corpse.

Who is Lelandais Noyer and how did he die?
Investigators only linked Lelandais to Noyer's death after he was arrested over the murder of Maelys, who vanished in the early hours of August 27, 2017, while attending a wedding near Chambery with her parents. Police searched for months for the girl before arresting Lelandais, who was also a guest at the wedding.
