Sophie Toscan du Plantier was a 39-year-old French producer, wife, and mother who traveled alone to her remote cottage in West Cork just before Christmas 1996. Two days later, she was found dead outside her gate, beaten beyond recognition, in a case that drew in Irish folklore, French cinema, a troubled local journalist, years of failed prosecutions, and a family’s long fight for justice across two countries.

Three of our past subjects died this spring. Betty Broderick, who served 35 years for the 1989 La Jolla murders of her ex-husband Dan and his new wife Linda. Raynella Dossett Leath, the Tennessee nurse twice tried in the deaths of her district attorney husband and her second husband, and ultimately cleared. And Claudine Longet, the French-born singer whose 1976 shooting of Olympic skier Spider Sabich in Aspen ended in a thirty-day sentence served largely on weekends. We revisit how each relationship broke.
