Episode 30: 55 Boulevard Robert-Schuman

Nantes, France. April 2011. A quiet suburban house tucked away behind a hedge, indistinguishable from its neighbors. But beneath its terrace lay a terrible secret — the bodies of Agnès Dupont de Ligonnès and her four children, carefully wrapped and buried in a shallow grave.

The father, Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès, was nowhere to be found.

In this episode, we examine one of the most chilling familial murder cases in modern European history. Xavier’s financial collapse, the meticulously orchestrated cover-up, and the days he spent living in the house after the murders reveal a mind both unraveling and in control. And then — like a ghost — he vanished.

This story is about more than the deaths. It’s about the silence that followed. The empty home on Boulevard Robert-Schuman. The unanswered questions. The mythologized fugitive. And the house that waited for its secrets to be discovered, whispering through every room what it could not say aloud.
