In 1996, Sophie Toscan du Plantier was murdered outside her holiday home in Ireland. Before long, one man became the main suspect. Almost thirty years later, doubts still remain. What really happened that night? Was the man suspected for all these years responsible for Sophie’s murder, or was he himself the victim of police tunnel vision? Nearly three decades of legal battles and intense media attention have followed, and Sophie’s family is still left with unanswered questions. And for a small community that had once felt completely safe, one unsettling question has lingered for all these years; is there a murderer among us?

One December night, in a remote corner of Ireland, a woman was brutally murdered on the road outside her holiday home. There were many suspects, but very few clear motives. Who would have wanted to kill this charming French woman? The residents of the nearby village were deeply unsettled. They had always felt safe there. Could one of them, one of their own neighbours, really have been capable of murder? Thirty years later, the same question remains. Do we now know who the killer was, or are there even more unanswered questions surrounding that night than anyone first realised?

On the 9th of December 1988, 40-year-old Hollywood cameraman Robert “Bob” Samuels was found murdered inside his home in Northridge, California. He and his wife, Mary Ellen, had been separated for more than two years, but their divorce had never been finalised. After Bob’s death, Mary Ellen received hundreds of thousands of dollars through life insurance and other assets, and she quickly began spending the money on clothes, expensive cars and luxury trips. But as investigators looked more closely at Bob’s murder, they began to uncover something far darker. And before long, it would become clear that Bob was not the only person standing in the way of Mary Ellen’s new life.

In 1980, a young couple disappeared together with their baby daughter. They left everything behind, their families, their lives, every trace of themselves. For more than four decades, their relatives held on to one explanation: that the couple had been drawn into a religious group and had chosen to disappear voluntarily. Years passed. But there were no signs of life. No proof. No answers. Only silence. Then, more than 40 years later, a shocking discovery was made. Two unidentified bodies, found murdered shortly after the disappearance, were identified through groundbreaking DNA technology, as Dean and Tina Clouse. And that raised a new, even more frightening question: What happened to the baby?
