I remember this. The french police couldn't catch a cold. I don't even think they want to work investigations. Probably not as much money in it as speeding fines…
So bizarre. A gun from the 1920s? It sounds like a hit but the weapon is so odd. Hope the girls are okay.
The guy probably didn't hear the shots because the shooter used a suppressor.
But no one knew the family would be there. Unless someone had been following them all the way from England
I highly recommend the 3-episode series they made about this story called "Murder in the Alps".
The biker is obviously the hit man who killed the biker that was a witness, took his clothes then just so happen to not hear the shots because of rushing waters, conveniently, but discovered them in time, conveniently, then left her…aka he just turned around on the bike, went to the end of the street then came back to call 911 😂😂😂
You didn't mention much about the cyclist who was shot at the scene. I am guessing he was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. But then you did say he was shot first.
Very sad.
What professional assassin would voluntarily work with a near-100-year-old gun though, especially if they are probably not forced to make that choice?
Not to mention: 21 shots to kill 4 people? Also does not sound like a professional job.
"The sheer professionalism of the killing" – once again: 24 shots for 4 people, from an antique gun? Professionalism?
"The shooter left no witnesses except for the two young girls" – so the shooter did leave witnesses…
Great channel👌….came across it by chance…subscribed👍
I think the family came across the other killing and the killer had to kill the family to keep himself from being arrested.
So crazy. Probably just just Jason Bourne off in traffic
They should do a story on the kid that left that party and literally down the st was found murdered it was never solved
If this were a Hollywood movie, the little girl hiding in the car would be the killer.
Now I still don't know what most likely happened.
Soooooo suspicious that in the middle of nowhere in France, they JUST HAPPENED to be found by British ex-military. Lol
There's nothing I can find on Brett Martin's alibi or why he was cleared as a suspect. I'm not saying he did it but it is EXTREMELY strange that any discussion of his possible participation or how he was ruled out is erased from the internet. In most accounts he seems to be the sole authoritative voice painting a picture of that day. MI6, anyone?
I don't really believe Saad al-Hilli and his family were the real target. It seems clear the murdered tried to kill his whole family including the two girls, but didn't see the younger, and was short of ammunition to kill the older with bullets, so he stroke her on the head with his gun used as a hammer and left her for dead, which she was not. On the contrary Mollier, the cyclist was killed with 5 bullets although one or two would have been enough, and also was killed before the al-Hilli family, which should mean he was the real target. Plus I don't think the murderer was a professional killer, a pro would not have used a 1920' gun, would have carried enough ammunition, and would not have left the older girl for dead while she was not. All this leads to the conclusion that the real target was Mollier, that the al-Hilli family were unfortunate witness of Mollier's murder, and that the murderer was probably a former military or policeman, acquainted with firearm but unable to find a firearm more serious than a 1920' Luger. It looks like the French police preferred accusing the al-Hilli family of some kind of unproven trafficking rather than seriously searching local retiree who might have assassinated a British tourists' family because of what they had seen in the French countryside…
an ex RAF guy just happensssss too find this all , in all offf france , cool story , who says the cyclist wasnt the intended victim , these 3 colateral damage …..pro hitman using and old luger and beating on a little girl , i dont know about that either
I think this was a random mass killing. Yes, I understand how family disputes over money can become violent, but come on – his brother is a provincial accountant, not 007. He has no criminal record; not even struck off as a director, never insolvent. Plus when you read about the brothers' dispute, the brother was always the conciliator and the dead brother was the hothead.
The gun was an antique, fired at least 16 times in broad daylight. Nobody knew the family schedule for that day – it was all very last minute. Pistol-whipping a child is such an extreme act, it had to be someone deramged.
As I say, I think it was a random killing.
The cyclist most likely did it
News Nation doesn't know how to end their segments. Always ends abruptly, seems rude. Get it together News Nation
The little girl who was sent to the hospital wasn't spared by the shooter. What most likely happened is that the shooter wanted her dead and shot her once in the shoulder as she was far away. Having ran out of ammunition, he tried to kill her by hitting her to the head with his pistol. A piece of the grip was actually found on the floor where he hit the little girl because he hit so hard. She miraculously survived but she wasn't meant to.
The video presents the shooter as being incredibly professional. He was very accurate in his shots, but he initially shot seven bullets to the head of the cyclist (who was probably an unfortunate witness and not the main target) only to run out of ammunition later on.
Also, his pistol wasn't exactly the type of weapon that a professional killer would use, which makes the whole story even more puzzling.
1:11 “and today, remains unsolved with no clear suspects…” I’m gone.👋🏻bu-bye
This was either a hit on the cyclist or a road rage incident.
Totally agree with you, also the fact they were Arabs and more than not Muslim adds to it all.
Probably Mossad
