In April 2011 after a neighbour raised the alarm and a few welfare checks police found the bodies of five family members buried under a terrace in a house in Nantes, France – a mother and her four children. Their father, however, was missing and is still the main suspect in their murders. 

This is the story of Agnès Dupont de Ligonnès, and her four children, Arthur, Thomas, Anne and Benoît.
