A Glimmer of Hope in the French Cold Case The discovery of a Luger pistol in Lake Annecy near the scene of the infamous al Hilli murders has sent shockwaves through the investigation into this unsolved crime.
For 14 years, authorities have been stumped by the brutal killing of a British family on holiday in France, leaving behind only fragments and unanswered questions.
The case remains one of the most baffling in recent European history. On September 5, 2012, Saad al Hilli, his wife, and mother in law were found shot dead in their car on a forest road near Chevaline.
