“1:15 p.m. on Sunday”. The disappeared > Episode 3

As part of its documentary series “The Disappeared” in three episodes, the magazine “1:15 p.m. on Sunday” (Facebook, Twitter, #1:15 p.m.) come back on the fivefold murder committed at 55, boulevard Robert-Schuman, in Nantes (Loire-Atlantique), at the beginning of April 2011.

The father Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès is suspected of having killed his wife Agnès and his children Arthur, Thomas, Anne and Benoît, whose bodies were found buried in the garden of the family home on April 21 of the same year. He has since been found…

Xavier Dupont de Ligonnèsis he inspired by an American killer?

The one who escaped all the police for more than ten years, if he is still alive as some of his relatives believe, has always been fascinated by the United States. Twice, the number one suspect in the “Nantes massacre” tried to live the American dream: the first time in his youth with a friend and another time with his whole family.

Was Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès so fascinated by this country to be inspired very precisely by the American killer John List, who had decimated his entire family in 1971 before disappearing into the wild… and being arrested years later?

A report by Pauline Dordilly, Anne-Sophie Martin, Henry Desaunay and Anthony Santoro.
