"Sophie Toscan du Plantier was not raped or sexually assaulted, Dr Harbison writes. When I interviewed Daniel Toscan du Plantier in 1999 (he died in 2003), he speculated on the motive of his wife's killer. "I can imagine it well," he said. "She could be extremely cutting. She faced someone who was probably drunk, and he made a pass at her and she rejected him in an insulting way and he went crazy. It was like her to go outside to talk to him; she wasn't afraid of anything."

Really? I found this interesting, a quote from her husband:https://www.irishtimes.com/news/a-brutal-death-in-black-and-white-1.922863 As I previously theorised, I think it was most likely someone local chancing their arm with her, getting rejected and then (perhaps drunkenly) attacking her in anger.

MoonUnit75 wrote: » What are you talking about? It's really simple, I have never had to walk around to the passenger side of a hire car to adjust the seat, it's invariably within reach. I'm not storing the position of the seat! The file with 'occasions I moved rental car passenger seats' returns a 404, that's all there is to it. Strange thought process you are going through.
dark crystal wrote: » It didn't have to be a raging serial killer, just someone who drunkenly went too far one night. Plenty of people just snap once and do things in the heat of the moment they would never ordinarily do in a million years. Or maybe they do have violent tendencies, but have just never killed before - who knows? I just wish whoever it was had enough of a conscience to own up and give her family some closure. I wouldn't hold my breath, though. They've gotten away with it this long, unlikely they'll ever do the right thing. In fact, they're probably getting a thrill out of the fact the Guards have fitted up someone else entirely and the French courts have convicted him in abstentia.

A cold shiver ran down my spine and I turns to me wife and I says to her: "There's been a murder." Put it to the back of my mind and we had lovely holiday in the end.
monkeybutter wrote: » Its nowhere as near as you as you saying you remember all this and somehow have super short arms unable to reach a car seat a short distance away I mean I have always had to adjust forward backward etc seats in rented cars over the years based on who sat there last I mean I can easily reach the passenger seat in any car not to mind a fiesta in any position I'm more worried about how you drive with such short arms So it's an odd thing to be fixated on
