Summary

On a late summer afternoon in 2012, three members of the al-Hilli family from Britain, and a French bicyclist named Silvain Mollier, were brutally executed along a popular tourist road in the picturesque Combe-D'Ire Forest near Lake Annecy in France. Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss this mysterious shooting. Four people lost their lives that day, while two of the Al-Hilli children survived. But, the girls were very young and unable to give the police any information to go on. Investigators from both Britain and France worked to try to unravel the mystery. Did Sylvain Mollier have any connection to the al-Hilli family? If not, who was the real target of the shootings? Or, was this a killer who selected his victims randomly?
