The real (and terrible) news story
A suspicious husbandis freely inspired by a unsolved murder case which upset the France in April 2011, when the five bodies of the Dupont family (wife and four children) were found lifeless inside their home in Nantes, precisely buried in the garden of the house. Suspicions immediately fell on the head of the family, Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès, who disappeared into thin air. Subsequently, the police also found a series of letters in which Xavier claimed that his family had left the country to join a religious group: veracity of the letters subsequently discredited and denied by the police force. And despite the numerous efforts of the French authorities, thanks also to the various reports on Xavier’s whereabouts, the “Dupont affair” is still open and unresolved. As you can imagine, the case garnered enormous media attention, with various motives being advanced for the murders, including economic problems, ties to secret organizations, or family conflicts. The French police, despite the continuous leads that led the investigation to nowhere, are still hopeful of being able to find Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès and drag him to justice.
