A MURDERER AT THE WEDDING (100MN)

Blood dramas

An episode from the series CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS

Synopsis

In the Alps, 28 people mysteriously disappeared between 2007 and 2017—a sad, unexplained record.

Maëlys, 8, disappears during a wedding. Her remains are found six months later. Nordahl Lelandais, one of the guests at the party, faces overwhelming evidence and confesses to the crime. From that moment on, the police officers wonder whether the suspect may be involved in other misdeeds in the area. Their intuition will prove correct when they discover that, a few months before Maëlys' disappearance, a young 24-year-old Army corporal also fell prey to this man, without arousing the slightest suspicion.

In France, serial killers are considered a fantasy, a legend straight out of American movies. This may explain why justice has not sought links between these different cases.
