i live in France and it is one of the, if not THE most talked about case of true crime here; such a mysterious case, i hope that one day we find him so he can pay for what he did
Ahh French person here! This case is probably one of the most known cases in France. I'm sure you did a great job covering it. I believe it's been 10years since it happened and there is a series coming soon. Will watch this as I make dinner xx
OH MY GOD "don't leanr French, you sucks" reminds me from the time I tried to join the church's choir and the Nun who organized it told me that I should consider taking a vow of silence.
It’s so sad that he took away the lives of his family - they could have flourished without him. It’s also strange that someone so obsessed with family lineage would effectively end it. Great vid Georgia, thank you 💕💕
"It’s also strange that someone so obsessed with family lineage would effectively end it." I know, right? Ending one's bloodline doesn't exactly go with taking pride in one's aristocratic lineage.
Family annihilators are prone to be narcissistic, and generally fall into four main categories. My guess would be that Xavier falls into the 'Anomic' category, where he blamed Agnès and the children for his economic plight. I also believe he is still alive, given the shady, 'Don't know what my dad does for a living' lifestyle.
I'm French so obviously I've known of this case for a long time. It kills me to think that this horrible man is probably living his best life somewhere hidden after commiting such atrocities.... I really hope he'll be found one day and can be brought to justice
Me a French major trying to pronounce words alongside you and also struggling. French is difficult and that's just a fact. Thanks for your coverage of this case!
“List.” You’re right, I had not thought of it, but not that you’ve said it, it feels like listening to the List case. Hopefully it will end the same way, with the father found.
yup. listened to the last podcast on the left's episode on him and their psychoanalysis of him is on point and even more chilling when you see this case and that it's apparently not an isolated case at all. this could happen to the family of someone you KNOW
I’ve watched a few vids on this case but only nine minutes in and I’m getting a better feel for Xavier than any of the others. You have quite the talent of in-depth compilation. When paired with your well organized relaying of information a vivid depiction of the topic is achieved. Absolutely fabulous! Xx
What is so puzzling is that Xavier was so meticulous and careless at the same time that he could very well be alive or dead...I lean towards him being alive though. Also, I've watched so many videos about this case and there's a few things I had never heard about (like the police report from 2005) so you did a great job ! Don't worry about your pronunciation, I'm a native French speaker and I understood you perfectly well :)
I wonder if he left the trail deliberately so people would think he killed himself in the mountains. As Georgia said there were ships he could have got on or trains he could have taken out if France.
@@MunoMuno2010 I think he’s 1000% alive there’s no where he could have killed himself and we have no idea where is body is no way . So I believe he faked it got on the ship ( or whatever way he got away ) to somewhere and his living his life . Which is fucked if he is. It’s been 10 years this man shouldn’t been living his best life noo way .
@@MunoMuno2010 yeah it would have been easy to leave the country, the town is just about 100kms from Italy. I've always wondered if he had an accomplice though.
Just watched the Unsolved mysteries yesterday . Maybe it was partially the subtitles and translation but your version has more information than the other . I think he’s escaped and living somewhere unnoticed . So sad for his family
I have read about this sad case. I believe Xavier killed his entire family just like John List did back in the 1970s in usa. I don't see how a father could do that, but it must have something to do with the father having a super ego. I hope they find Xavier.
No doubt whatsoever that Xavier did this. I agree the real mystery is how he disappeared and how in this day and age, someone like that can live either totally off the grid, or get an entirely new identity that is legit enough to not be flagged up by law enforcement. It reminds me of the Vacuum Guy in the show Breaking Bad.
Hi, the man you spoke of who Scottish police wrongly suspected to be Xavier is my friend's Step father. Luckily the situation was rectified quickly but it was a difficult experience for him and his family. We were speaking of this again together only a few weeks ago. I hope he is found! Love your videos 😁 x
Gonna be honest, this video is a so much better representation of the case over the Unsolved Mysteries ep. I knew nothing about his possessiveness and the letters by his wife. They seem to have tried to build up a mystery, when there is pretty much no doubt he did it.
And one of the main witness they used for the serie is believed to be lying about some stuff If you can read french or can find a translated copy who should look into the two part series the magazine Society did last summer.
OMG I was actually hoping you would cover this one, once you covered the Anessy shootings which is another truly baffling French case. Thank you! Am getting to it.
edit: I do believe he is alive. Given he looks like your average Joe (or Pierre in this case?) and speaks spanish and english, he can be pretty much anywhere. And he is too much of a narcissist to kill himself imo.
I have to say .. amazing job on this case. I always thought there was more to this. I really am baffled with the new information you provided. I also watched the unsolved mysteries and was displeased with their lead of direction. You’re a very smart woman. You’re going places girl
He’s not trying to fool anyone. He knows everyone knows he did it. He never tired to cover up that he did it, he just tried to buy time before they were found so he could escape. But he never tried to deny or pretend jr wasn’t him
Great work as always! I agree , I don’t believe for a sec he committed suicide. Like you said , he wouldn’t have left a trail if he really wanted to get away without a trace. He wanted police to believe he killed him self.
i can't believe the unsolved mysteries documentary didn't mention those letters!! he basically admits he wants to get rid of the family and even mentions the sleeping pills that he eventually uses
This case is WILD. I first heard about it from Unsolved Mysteries the show and the night I saw it, I spent hours upon hours reading about it. There's not many cases where I do that but THIS takes the cake as the cruelest, wildest, most times I've asked 'how?! why?! wtf?!" case EVER
I've been thinking about this case since I watched Unsolved Mysteries. Based on where he left his car, I think he walked across to Fréjus, got onto a boat at the port and disappeared.
This case reminds me so much of John List. He probably is living in another country, perhaps Latin America since he speaks Spanish. Usually people with narcissistic personalities cry suicide, but are too coward to go through with it.
@@addie_is_me Yes, I know List was caught after like 18 years. The point i was making was the fact that these cases are very similar. That being said, I hope Xavier is caught, as case may be harder to solve because I feel he's in a remote country somewhere.
He did it and is definitely alive. Because family lineage is extremely important for him. That's why he tried to give Thomas a chance. But, most probably Thomas was not on board with his idea of living with the legacy of the murderer of his mom and siblings. So, his dad killed him as well. And fled to another country , created another family to carry on the bloodline. He is a clear sociopath and cases like this had happened before. I personally belong to a similar old aristocratic lineage, and I have seen first hand how even they loose their fortune , they want to be treated like royals. They are also extremely misogynists. The women in the family don't matter. Only sons matter in the bloodline. Even if you are a woman and can do far far far better than your male counter parts, you will be looked down upon.
In addition to murdering his wife of 20+ years and the loyal, trusting family dogs, he snuffed out 4 beautiful young lives that were so full of promise and potential. The man is an absolute monster...and I hope that he gets too complacent and slips up one day, leading to his arrest.
I'm from Switzerland and it was talked about a lot too, here! We don't really have big cases here so every media jumped onto this story. Also your pronunciation of the French names/words wasn't bad at all :) On the other hand, I was a bit shocked to learn that you are a few years older than I've been assuming for a long time! Good genes and skin care routine, I guess haha
Hey guys, we got a problem. “Silencers” are not silent. In fact, they are known among shooting enthusiasts as “suppressors”, because they only dampen the noise of the gunshot. I think it’s highly unlikely that anyone would not hear a suppressed gunshot indoors, where the sound would be louder, never mind multiple gunshots. It likely would be about as loud as a window breaking. How did he kill so many people at once with a firearm with none of the neighbors hearing?
Oh wow I was just thinking she said April 4, 2011! This is the 10th anniversary! I wonder if Interpol is looking for Xavier. There are 21-22 Spanish Speaking Countries and over 9 English speaking countries. I bet he is living somewhere remote evading capture.
The one thing I can't help but wonder is if he was seen along the roads after leaving that last hotel. And did his family imagine he drove off like that to get assassinated at a later point, after someone put a hit on his wife and children??
Lord Lucan had the means and the contacts to disappear for many decades. I'm sure this bloke could just as easily do the same. Even Ronnie Biggs disappeared and was only arrested when he returned to England, and he was just a train robber. Edit: Ronnie was in Brazil for more than two decades and only returned home due to being homesick.
This is one of the most bizarre cases in which we essentially know what happened. It's still just so strange. I remember the first time I heard about it and its just stuck with me ever since. But once again Georgia you've got info I've not heard of before, such as the mother being a bit of an anti semetic conspiracy theorist. Another great vid.
This man was really out here writing whole dramatic ass letters and exposing intimate details of his marriage to people who probably didn't even wanna know, just to establish himself as A Nice Guy™. Bro.
Why? To ruin his legacy. I wonder if his mysterious "business dealings" were with powerful people who do nefarious things. Perhaps his wife figured it out, or he made some sort of huge mistake, and they decided he needed to go. Knowing that his lineage, and reputation were paramount to him, the most important thing, their punishment for him was to destroy that thoroughly. Killing his entire family and making it look like he did it, right down to paying off all debts. This came to mind because of the immaculate clean up job. A crew of mobsters would totally know how to kill the family in such a way as to not leave trace evidence and blood behind, and also know how to expertly clean up anything that may have been left. I wonder if they kept the family (or at least the parents/dad) alive long enough for the son to come home. That would add pain and suffering to him for certain. They put all incriminating evidence in the car, which would get rid of it whilst also making it look as tho he did it and ran. Im only 27 mins in tho, so I could be missing lots of the story lol.
This is a total aside, but... I don't know if you recall, but a couple of years ago you mentioned you'd been studying Spanish via Duolingo. I was like, "Wtf? Why haven't I been doing that?" I just completed two years in French thanks to you!!
@@r4.v3n It really depends on your goals. For a free app, it's excellent!! It has speaking exercises and lots of different types of lessons, so it doesn't get boring. I'm at the stage where I can read about 80% or so of most French I come across. I don't think I'd be great conversationally; although it has a lot of speaking exercises, I don't get much practice outside of the app. However, I'd be able to struggle through a conversation if necessary. Again, for a free app, it's great, and I would wholeheartedly recommend it! The memes about Duo (the little owl mascot) being aggressive in "reminding" you to do a lesson are true, but you can disable them in settings. ;) You can also do lessons either on your phone, or on your computer. The benefit of doing lessons on your computer is that you don't lose "hearts." If you get something wrong in a lesson, you lose a heart. You have five hearts, and if you get five questions wrong in the same lesson, you have to earn more by doing practice lessons. This is the most annoying part of the app, but it can be bypassed by doing lessons on your computer (or by paying for the app - then you have unlimited hearts). It is really rare to lose all five hearts in a single lesson, but it's easy to lose them all if you're doing multiple lessons a day. All-in-all, I'd been procrastinating learning French for years, and after Georgia mentioned she had been learning Spanish, I was like, "Why not do it right now?" I'm so freaking glad I did!! ETA: I've also been able to converse in French online with French-speaking people - there are some people I follow on IG who are French, and I can chat with them now and act as a "translator" when they need help with English posts... That's literally been the best part!
@@SmittenKitten. ohhhh this is incredible! It's really cool that you can even help people translate things to english now. I've been postponing learning italian for a long time too, I'll give it a try with duolingo now! Thank you sooo much for your detailed response, it helped a lot! Cheers xx
You have given us another version of this tragic family. Good job.! At least five others have covered this sad story but you were more thorough. Dob't know why this is so captivating but it is a horrible case! Hope they catch him soon!
My dad has had three back surgeries ( basically did nothing ) and has had one shoulder surgery and has extremely stiff joints. If my dad was able to live like this everyday for 56 years and work at a saw mill for 26 years, picking up 80-90 lbs at one time. Bending over and getting in your knees to burry your family and clean the house, a bad back shouldn’t be the thing that keeps your from doing that. “ Rage and anger can make the best of people do terrible things “
Thank You for covering this! I got so lost on it on unsolved mysteries! lol 😂 you definitely have a knack at explaining things much more clearly and with more information that is so important to the story! Great Job sunshine ♥️💕♥️
I'm from argentina and Believe me, if he make it here, he can live here and never be found! Hitler did it and for some people is still a theory when we know where and when he was living here
I’m confused because I have read that Thomas was seen with his father in a restaurant in the evening of the 4th April. Waiters noted that Thomas felt unwell at the end of the meal. Was Thomas called home twice? On Monday and Tuesday too? Or did the father go to where Thomas was living to eat out with him? He did visit his friend on the Tuesday. I’m confused! 💕🐶🐶 Love all your videos. This one was fantastic
My French teacher asked me to drop out of the subject 2 weeks before the final GCSE exams because I was that awful. Of course I took her offer, always struggled with French lol
The Wikipedia page on this is quite interesting. Some theories speculate on a contract killer, or there were multiple people involved in the family’s murders, or that none of the family are dead at all, just in hiding under new identities. Some think the bodies that were buried aren’t even the family members. Another is that Xavier is also dead, most likely a murder-suicide.
Saw this on unsolved mysteries and I was PISSSEDDD AS FUCK ! , this family has never got the justice that they deserve and if he is living his life somewhere ( which I 100% believe he is ) I really hope his life has been nothing but hell !!!
I am really not a fan of unsolved cases at all, I like answers... But I like your videos so much I watch your midweek mystery every week without fail ❤️
I've never heard anyone refer to the 2000s as the noughties, I had to rewind and google it because I thought you said naughty haha. In the US we don't really have a word for that decade at all so that makes sense!
When I first heard about this case from watching Unsolved Mysteries, I thought it was so heartbreaking. I definitely think he's more than capable of murdering his entire family. I think he was really struggling financially and didn't want his family to suffer so because of that, he carefully planned out how he would go about it. Although it doesn't excuse what he did. He still murdered his entire family and needs to be held accountable for his actions. I also think Xavier is still alive and living somewhere rlse, quietly living knowing that he killed his family. I really hope he'll be found soon so he can say what really happened and be held accountable for his actions.
Ah, I remember when the Glasgow airport arrest happened....I really had my hopes up at the time! Hopefully he'll be found eventually and his poor family can have some justice....technology is becoming better and better. If he is still alive I think the only way for him to stay completely under radar is if he's raising goats or something in a very rural part of the world.
Wow I watched the unsolved mystery episode but didn’t recognise it as the same case until you mentioned it! They definitely romanticised him in the episode!
I think the father did it and with his over inflated since of worth he could still be on the run! I really don't see how anyone else had a reason. The whole thing is horrible!
Why don't these people just run off ? It is like he couldn't stand them existing without them. I keep looking at all their faces and their lives are just gone. No future careers and lives for the children and no second chance for Agnès.
Georgia: his face really isn’t anything special. It’s actually really normal and boring and doesn’t stick out at all. Me: damn savage (Ik that’s not exactly what she said that’s just what I thought)
Never hear dvaout those emails with his mistress before - extremely incriminating. People who say the family isnt dead are kinda crazy. Where would they get 4 bodies with bullet wounds and drugs in them in the same caliber as his rifle? They are dead, he did it, the dogs are dead too. Period.
i live in France and it is one of the, if not THE most talked about case of true crime here; such a mysterious case, i hope that one day we find him so he can pay for what he did
🎙

Ahh French person here! This case is probably one of the most known cases in France. I'm sure you did a great job covering it.

Very fascinating ! It’s mind boggling

Me too, but sometimes I take a break and watched solved ones.

@KEENG LOUIE who knows. he hasn't been found this whole time, which probably means he lives as mister nobody somewhere far away 🤷🏻♀️
I think he has very regular features and if you did run in to him on your travels, you wouldn't think ''i know that face''.
Me a French major trying to pronounce words alongside you and also struggling. French is difficult and that's just a fact. Thanks for your coverage of this case!
I'm in Ontario Canada, my family is not French, French is part of the school curriculum here and I always found it the easiest subject. 🤷♀️
This reminds me so so much of the Lisk family murders. And John Lisk was off living a new life for decades before being apprehended.

Next you'll have to cover John List. The American version of this guy!
He had a beautiful family. What a monster. He absolutely did not kill himself.
This is one of the most bizarre cases in which we essentially know what happened. It's still just so strange. I remember the first time I heard about it and its just stuck with me ever since. But once again Georgia you've got info I've not heard of before, such as the mother being a bit of an anti semetic conspiracy theorist. Another great vid.
This man was really out here writing whole dramatic ass letters and exposing intimate details of his marriage to people who probably didn't even wanna know, just to establish himself as A Nice Guy™. Bro.
Why? To ruin his legacy.
I wonder if his mysterious "business dealings" were with powerful people who do nefarious things. Perhaps his wife figured it out, or he made some sort of huge mistake, and they decided he needed to go. Knowing that his lineage, and reputation were paramount to him, the most important thing, their punishment for him was to destroy that thoroughly. Killing his entire family and making it look like he did it, right down to paying off all debts. This came to mind because of the immaculate clean up job. A crew of mobsters would totally know how to kill the family in such a way as to not leave trace evidence and blood behind, and also know how to expertly clean up anything that may have been left. I wonder if they kept the family (or at least the parents/dad) alive long enough for the son to come home. That would add pain and suffering to him for certain. They put all incriminating evidence in the car, which would get rid of it whilst also making it look as tho he did it and ran. Im only 27 mins in tho, so I could be missing lots of the story lol.
Omg thank you 👏👏👏👏
I wonder why killing is easier than just leaving for some people.Those kids and their mum had their lives ahead of them......May justice be served
when my mom and I watched this episode on UM - both our faces at the end of the episode were like 😶😧.
My daughter and I had the same reaction when we watched.
My new job is making me feel very stupid and stressing me out so thank you for posting this, time to unwind with some true crime 🤗
oh no that's the worst, you're not stupid!!!! you got this!
This is a total aside, but... I don't know if you recall, but a couple of years ago you mentioned you'd been studying Spanish via Duolingo. I was like, "Wtf? Why haven't I been doing that?" I just completed two years in French thanks to you!!
Does it work?? I've been thinking about using it but I don't know if it actually helps
@@r4.v3n It really depends on your goals. For a free app, it's excellent!! It has speaking exercises and lots of different types of lessons, so it doesn't get boring. I'm at the stage where I can read about 80% or so of most French I come across. I don't think I'd be great conversationally; although it has a lot of speaking exercises, I don't get much practice outside of the app. However, I'd be able to struggle through a conversation if necessary. Again, for a free app, it's great, and I would wholeheartedly recommend it!
The memes about Duo (the little owl mascot) being aggressive in "reminding" you to do a lesson are true, but you can disable them in settings. ;) You can also do lessons either on your phone, or on your computer. The benefit of doing lessons on your computer is that you don't lose "hearts."
If you get something wrong in a lesson, you lose a heart. You have five hearts, and if you get five questions wrong in the same lesson, you have to earn more by doing practice lessons. This is the most annoying part of the app, but it can be bypassed by doing lessons on your computer (or by paying for the app - then you have unlimited hearts). It is really rare to lose all five hearts in a single lesson, but it's easy to lose them all if you're doing multiple lessons a day.
All-in-all, I'd been procrastinating learning French for years, and after Georgia mentioned she had been learning Spanish, I was like, "Why not do it right now?" I'm so freaking glad I did!!
ETA: I've also been able to converse in French online with French-speaking people - there are some people I follow on IG who are French, and I can chat with them now and act as a "translator" when they need help with English posts... That's literally been the best part!
@@SmittenKitten. ohhhh this is incredible! It's really cool that you can even help people translate things to english now. I've been postponing learning italian for a long time too, I'll give it a try with duolingo now!
Thank you sooo much for your detailed response, it helped a lot!
Cheers xx
@@r4.v3n Oh, you're so welcome!! :D I'm just glad I was able to help!
You have given us another version of this tragic family. Good job.! At least five others have covered this sad story but you were more thorough. Dob't know why this is so captivating but it is a horrible case! Hope they catch him soon!
Thanks, Georgia!
I had never heard of this case before. As always, excellent video.
My dad has had three back surgeries ( basically did nothing ) and has had one shoulder surgery and has extremely stiff joints. If my dad was able to live like this everyday for 56 years and work at a saw mill for 26 years, picking up 80-90 lbs at one time. Bending over and getting in your knees to burry your family and clean the house, a bad back shouldn’t be the thing that keeps your from doing that. “ Rage and anger can make the best of people do terrible things “
starving someone from affection could been seen as abuse...mental abuse is hard to prove but is also harder to get over
I can't believe I've never heard about this case... I must have been living under a rock
This is one of my pet cases. I just can’t fathom that he could still be out there somewhere!
Thank You for covering this! I got so lost on it on unsolved mysteries! lol 😂 you definitely have a knack at explaining things much more clearly and with more information that is so important to the story! Great Job sunshine ♥️💕♥️
I'm from argentina and Believe me, if he make it here, he can live here and never be found! Hitler did it and for some people is still a theory when we know where and when he was living here
I’m confused because I have read that Thomas was seen with his father in a restaurant in the evening of the 4th April. Waiters noted that Thomas felt unwell at the end of the meal. Was Thomas called home twice? On Monday and Tuesday too? Or did the father go to where Thomas was living to eat out with him? He did visit his friend on the Tuesday. I’m confused! 💕🐶🐶
Love all your videos. This one was fantastic
Thank you Georgia 🌟 hope you're well
My French teacher asked me to drop out of the subject 2 weeks before the final GCSE exams because I was that awful.
Of course I took her offer, always struggled with French lol
The Wikipedia page on this is quite interesting. Some theories speculate on a contract killer, or there were multiple people involved in the family’s murders, or that none of the family are dead at all, just in hiding under new identities. Some think the bodies that were buried aren’t even the family members. Another is that Xavier is also dead, most likely a murder-suicide.
This is very similar to the John List case in the US. He's out there somewhere.
What a very sad story, he’s out there somewhere, we can only hope Karma gets the best of him..
Another french here. Very famous case. Xavier's picture is often used as an internet meme... xD
Very interesting case. And don't fret about the pronunciation, I haven't seen a video about this case that wasn't a butchery
Saw this on unsolved mysteries and I was PISSSEDDD AS FUCK ! , this family has never got the justice that they deserve and if he is living his life somewhere ( which I 100% believe he is ) I really hope his life has been nothing but hell !!!
I remembered the case from the new Unsolved Mysteries. Definitely a house of horror and I hope he is caught.
I am really not a fan of unsolved cases at all, I like answers... But I like your videos so much I watch your midweek mystery every week without fail ❤️
Lol! Georgia I love to hear you mispronounce french words!
hahahah thank you
I've never heard anyone refer to the 2000s as the noughties, I had to rewind and google it because I thought you said naughty haha. In the US we don't really have a word for that decade at all so that makes sense!
Really?! It's such a common phrase here it didn't occur to be it wouldn't be widely used!
My son calls it the O ies lol
I’ve heard it called the naughts in the US.
@@janeillebraswell2519 I may have heard naughts maybe once or twice, usually I just hear "the 2000s". Interesting lol
When I first heard about this case from watching Unsolved Mysteries, I thought it was so heartbreaking. I definitely think he's more than capable of murdering his entire family. I think he was really struggling financially and didn't want his family to suffer so because of that, he carefully planned out how he would go about it. Although it doesn't excuse what he did. He still murdered his entire family and needs to be held accountable for his actions. I also think Xavier is still alive and living somewhere rlse, quietly living knowing that he killed his family. I really hope he'll be found soon so he can say what really happened and be held accountable for his actions.
yesssss I've been hoping you'd cover this case! I personally believe the father is still out there, living in secret
Your research work is amazing. Keep posting such videos. love from far❤️
Ah, I remember when the Glasgow airport arrest happened....I really had my hopes up at the time! Hopefully he'll be found eventually and his poor family can have some justice....technology is becoming better and better. If he is still alive I think the only way for him to stay completely under radar is if he's raising goats or something in a very rural part of the world.
Wow I watched the unsolved mystery episode but didn’t recognise it as the same case until you mentioned it! They definitely romanticised him in the episode!
Me: This is mentioning Medieval France and French Aristocrats so there’s going to be Anti Semitism.
Me two seconds later: Up, there it is!
Thank you for covering this
French here ! Thank you for covering this case !!
I think the father did it and with his over inflated since of worth he could still be on the run! I really don't see how anyone else had a reason. The whole thing is horrible!
Why don't these people just run off ? It is like he couldn't stand them existing without them. I keep looking at all their faces and their lives are just gone. No future careers and lives for the children and no second chance for Agnès.
I’m looking at all my neighbours in a new light 🧐🥸
Your accent is soothing. Sad case...but you did an amazing job.
This story is crazy, the father needs to be brought to justice, this is so wrong
Georgia: his face really isn’t anything special. It’s actually really normal and boring and doesn’t stick out at all.
Me: damn savage
(Ik that’s not exactly what she said that’s just what I thought)
Georgia you’re so beautiful! 🥰 thank you for working your ass off to provide us with these videos
He is maybe in Australia if this is what he wrote in the letters he sent to families.!
Perhaps French Polis should contact to AUS police
"Some bedsheets are missing"
Me: uh oh
"Pictures missing out of frames"
Me: oh noooo
Omggg I’ve been waiting for this one
Thanks Georgia 🙏🏻❤️ love from İstanbul
Never hear dvaout those emails with his mistress before - extremely incriminating. People who say the family isnt dead are kinda crazy. Where would they get 4 bodies with bullet wounds and drugs in them in the same caliber as his rifle? They are dead, he did it, the dogs are dead too. Period.
Yay..a 40 min video from Georgia 🥰 thank god the kids are sleeping and mumma can get into some true crime 😆
This has always creeped me out because he’s truly the French John List
WHAT DID THE DOGS DO TO DESERVE THIS
I love to listen to you speak 💛
Why don’t these family annihilators just disappear and live their lives in secret without murdering their entire families??
Wow I wish I could speak so continuously and confidently like you, so that I could improve my future videos too 🙏
