The disappearance of Tiphaine Véron in Japan has drawn renewed attention following revelations from her family and private investigators. Tiphaine's brother, Damien Véron, has criticized the Japanese police's handling of the case, noting that initial police reports claimed she had fallen into a river, a scenario they had apparently prepared in advance. The family was given her suitcase and told to return home without further investigation. The police initially considered kidnapping as a possible cause, but due to a cultural tendency in Japan toward unquestioned authority, the police rarely face challenges in their procedures. Between 2018 and 2021, private investigators working with the family discovered that about fifteen bodies were found in the vicinity, but the police did not disclose their identities. The family asserts that it was only after the case received media attention in Japan that the police began to take action, as the authorities do not see it as their role to search for missing persons, especially if they are not Japanese nationals. This information was discussed in the radio program "L'Affaire dans l'affaire" hosted by Stéphane Simon, featuring Damien Véron and documentary filmmaker Cécile Juan, who directed "L’air mouillé." Additionally, separate reports mention the murder of Leslie and Kevin, with their parents expressing grief over the loss, and a podcast revisiting the disappearance of jogger Alexia Fouillot in 2017 in Haute-Saône, France.
