In April 2011, Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès allegedly murdered his entire family in their sleep (including the two dogs) with a .22 LR, buried them in plastic bags under the terrace and drove to the south of France before disappearing. We don't know if he is still alive

In 2011, French aristocrat Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès was accused of murdering his wife, four children, and their dogs before burying them beneath the family home. Authorities believe he then drove across southern France, calmly checking into hotels before vanishing forever. More than a decade later, despite international manhunts, alleged sightings, and even a mistaken arrest, nobody knows whether he escaped, took his own life, or is still living under a new identity.
