Now in the hands of the national center dedicated to the treatment of serial or unsolved crimes, known as the “cold cases” center, of the Nanterre public prosecutor’s office, one of the most insoluble criminal enigmas of the last twenty years in the Lyon region is the subject of new investigations, after recent twists and turns.
