1:20:03
As you can imagine,
1:20:05
we were unable to identify
the body from the photos

1:20:08
you gave us.
1:20:10
The body was submerged
for too long.

1:20:13
It is in a state
of advanced putrefaction.

1:20:18
Meaning?
1:20:21
Putrefaction causes
the skin to turn greenish,

1:20:24
and the body and head
of the cadaver to swell.

1:20:29
The process accelerates
when the body is exposed to air

1:20:32
after having been submerged
in water, as in this case.

1:20:36
Morphological identification
is thus impossible.

1:20:44
The test confirms
a genetic link between the body

1:20:47
and your mother-in-law,
Suzanne Drillon.

1:20:51
As for the odontological tests,
it appears that

1:20:55
the x-rays we've taken match up
1:20:58
with the dental records
provided by his dentist.

1:21:01
However, because your husband
has never had any fractured bones,

1:21:06
we can't draw any conclusions
from the state of the skeleton.

1:21:11
We also have the material evidence
you described:

1:21:15
The blue trunks and the watch.
1:21:16
They are in good condition
and should be easy to identify.

1:21:20
We'll show them to you.
1:21:22
No.
1:21:24
What's wrong?
You don't want to see them?

1:21:27
I do.
1:21:30
But I want to see the body first.
1:21:35
As I already explained to you,
1:21:37
we can't really call it
a body at this point.

1:21:41
The cadaver is partially mutilated,
1:21:43
and seeing such a sight
1:21:45
could be extremely traumatic
for you.

1:21:50
I'm perfectly capable
of handling it.

1:21:53
Are you sure?
1:21:56
It's very important for me.
