About this episode

Laura and former New York City Prosecutor and retired FBI profiler Jim Clemente continue their forensic deconstruction of Sophie Toscan Du Plantier’s murder.


Trigger warning - listener discretion is advised. We discuss the various possibilities of what happened that night, the crime scene assessment including the geography and the weapons used, the perpetrator’s behaviour, motivation and likely post offence behaviour and much more.


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.
