This is kind of long, but if you love murder mysteries, then you will get through it quick like I did.

quote:

Four dead, an ever-expanding list of suspects, dozens of detectives on the case. Three years after the fact, a mysterious shooting in the French Alps has evolved into one of the most confounding, globe-spanning criminal investigations in decades

I had to read all the way to the end to find out one of the victims was from Natchez. Will have to go back and reread it now.

Does one of the suspects have frost bitten feet?

Definitely a hit by a professional. What his secrets were may never be known

Great article. Thanks for the link.

Damn cliffhanger ending though. With all the research he did, you would've thought he'd given us some background on the wife's family.

It's an interesting read about an uncommon and unusually brutal, but completely random mass killing that has gained international notoriety due to its French scenic location, victims being Brits with some Iraqiness thrown in the mix and their distrust of all things French. Had these people made a wrong turn and wandered upon an overly protective redneck in rural Louisiana or had unwittingly walked up to a drug deal on the fringes of the French Quarter there'd be outrage but not all the wild conspiracy theories. These things will happen from time to time.

The link to the guy in Mississippi who happened to die, in very usual circumstances I might add, on the same day one of his ex-wives (he had like 3 others also) was murdered thousands of miles away is coincidental but not even that much. It's highly doubtful the guy was driving his pickup through Natchez, MS when he was shot by a poison tipped arrow designed to make it appear he suffered a heart attack. Yes that's one of the theories.

The amount of resources European investigators are willing to dedicate to this type of incident amazes me. Do you think the BRPD would make numerous requests to a foreign government to have one of its citizens body's exhumed and reanalyzed simply because he happened to die, of apparent natural causes, on the same day one of his exwives, from many years before, was gunned down on another continent with her family and a bicyclist, on a seldom traveled dead end road in a case that's only mysterious because it doesn't happen there very often and none of its other leads have panned out?
