Ep 40: Sophie Toscan Du Plantier’s Murde...

LAURA RICHARDS
About this episode

Laura and former New York City Prosecutor and retired FBI profiler Jim Clemente forensically deconstruct and profile Sophie Toscan Du Plantier’s brutal murder.


We pool our collective knowledge and experience of 60 years analysing serious and violent crime. Starting with the victimology, we discuss whether Sophie was targeted and/or knew the killer as well as what we believe happened the night/morning Sophie was killed. Step by step we walk you through our individual analysis of the crime scene.


N.B. We have not discussed Sophie’s case before - what you hear is our organic and dynamic analysis of what we understand and believe happened the night/morning Sophie was murdered.


Listener discretion is advised. This episode may be triggering and/or distressing.
