A pile of human bones found off the French Riviera do not include the remains of a missing Parisian teenager as previously thought, according to investigators.
Police said in November that DNA tests indicated that the remains of vulnerable 17-year-old Stephane Hirson, who disappeared from his home near Paris in 1994, were among the bones of at least four people discovered by an amateur diver in the sea close to the resort of Antibes.
But now the prosecutors' office in Grasse, which is leading a murder investigation into the case, said new tests had disproved that.
The bones include the remains of two men and two women.
The remains were found by a diver in the sea close to the resort of Antibes Among them was a skull that had a target sign drawn on it, together with the words "death to paedophiles" written in indelible ink.
"In the end the DNA of the bone found at Antibes does not correspond to that of the young Hirson," prosecutor Georges Gutierrez said in a statement.
Tests based on the DNA of Stephane's mother had initially indicated the bones were his, but later tests on samples taken from his father showed this was not the case.
The development leaves investigators with few leads in a case that has fascinated France, following the discovery of the bones in February.
Police recovered the remains after they were found by the diver who was searching for sea urchins just off the rocky Cap d'Antibes coastline.
