Summary

Sophie Toscan Du Plantier took a brief getaway to her vacation home just days before Christmas. When she was found dead at the end of her driveway, it shook the small town where she was visiting as she wasn't from the area and only knew a few people. Suspicion fell on a reporter, but a lack of evidence made the case difficult.
