Resolves to my best guess taking into account all the available evidence in 2040, unless it seems at the time like more evidence will be coming out soon, in which case I'll delay resolution.

The New Yorker article presents the arguments but make a strong case against the fraud.
I especially like this part : << One of them, Gilberte Mery, whose grandfather was Jeanne’s first cousin, told Le Journal du Dimanche that the switch theory was “completely idiotic.” Recalling the Arles tradition of promenades, she said, “We looked at who walked with whom, we noticed if someone changed her dress. Can you imagine if, all of a sudden, people no longer saw Aunt Jeanne but Yvonne?” >>
