The Turnout at Lake Annecy

On a quiet mountain road above Lake Annecy, a British family’s camping trip ended in less than five minutes.

Twenty-one rounds were fired from a rare antique handgun. Four adults were killed with chilling precision. A local cyclist lay dead beside their car. And somehow, two young girls survived.

Was this a targeted assassination? A case of mistaken identity? Or something even more unsettling?

In this episode, we unravel one of Europe’s most baffling unsolved cases — exploring the secluded turnout in the French Alps, the ballistic evidence from an usual weapon, the possible military precision, the inheritance tensions, and the haunting question of who the intended target really was.

More than ten years later, the motive remains as unclear as the killer’s identity.
