# Marion Wagon disappearance in Agen: investigation relaunched thirty years later

> In November 1996, Marion Wagon disappeared after leaving school in Agen. Thirty years later, the case transferred to the Nanterre cold case unit was relaunched, with a new lead around a young neighbor. In November 2026, the girl's DNA was able to be reconstituted and a witness appeal was launched to find a man in his sixties, while an unprecedented testimony from a woman claiming to have been followed by a disturbing man on the day of the facts could open a new lead. The deputy prosecutor of the cold case unit detailed the new leads explored, the parents' lawyer reacted to the investigation's difficulties and a witness appeal was broadcast on TF1.

**In brief**: Ongoing story bringing together 12 events in 3 departments (Lot-et-Garonne, Hauts-de-Seine, Gironde), followed from 5 November 2026 to 14 November 2026. 77 articles from 24 sources (justice); last updated on 14 November 2026 at 08:55.

## Coverage angles

The three sides cover the investigation relaunch by the cold case unit and the witness appeal, but differ in angle: the left insists on the human story and testimony analysis, the center on the practical modalities of the witness appeal, the right on the new testimony and the search for a suspect.

**Common ground**

- The disappearance of Marion Wagon, 10, dates back to November 14, 1996 in Agen
- The Nanterre cold case unit launched a witness appeal
- A new testimony from a woman relaunches the investigation
- A man in his sixties is being sought

**Differences**

- The left develops an in-depth decoding of the testimony's credibility and the parents' path, an angle little present on the right
- The right evokes the search for possible other victims, an element absent from left and center excerpts
- The center highlights the prosecutor's statement and the appeal's broadcast on TF1, little taken up elsewhere
