The Gouffé Case: Gabrielle Bompard


Listen Later

It’s Paris in 1889 (oui, oui!). Much to Alana’s dismay, we have a body found rotting in a traveling trunk and a man named Toussaint-Augustin Gouffé has gone missing. In a classic case of lovers turning to crime to save their hide, both Gabrielle Bompard and Michel Eyraud are charged with murder. But what really happened to Toussaint-Augustin Gouffé? And whose story is true?
