I'm always suspicious when only one adult or teenage family member is left alive or can't be located. Especially with money being no issue. I'm sure there's a Ligonnes near the pot of gold at the end of this one.
I love when creators don’t feel the need for tacky obnoxious backgrounds. It’s just not necessary and looks much better like this and the way Mike’s is on TC.
I've always wondered how Xavier was able to clean the house so perfectly that no traces of blood has ever been found. And how long could he have been planning this and why. This is very disturbing
He even told his wife that "a family sacrifice wouldn't be a bad idea". She told a friend at work about the problems in their marriage and what he told her... On that same day, she should have run away with her kids, far away from the monster!
I always assumed he used a pillow or something to cover their faces first to prevent blood from spilling everywhere and so he didn’t have to look at them during the murder.
He's probably living in a Muslim land, on the north of Africa. He got in one of the baton-mouche that cross the Mediterranean and vanished there, starting a new life. There is evidence he stole a passport from a French-Portuguese citizen and used to travel to around...
As a french i m into that story some say he killed himself some say he is alive , recently i saw the news they say some people saw him. We will never know ,his family is in denial
I love that you cover international stories too. Y'all are the best. In this case I do not buy the government conspiracy because why redecorate the house? Poor family 🥺
My gut tells me he took off and started a new life somewhere else, absent of his family obligations... It's always suspicious when only one family member survives such a horrific crime. A lot of red flags pointing right at Xavier. Another instance where we may never know what actually happened. Really enjoy your channel, Chris and Amy. I'm a succinct person and I like my information that way... Wishing you much continued success!
Bizarre case. I don’t think the man in Chicago is him, he looked too young. I think he’s alive somewhere, and I think he did it alone. Love your content 😊
@@dragorn3212 Right. That looks like an earlier photo of him, perhaps when he was still in France or on a trip to the USA. That woman next to him, even though she's blurred out, looks very much like his wife.
I commented under someone else’s but I think he is alive and has started a new life. He lied about having a bad back just like he lied about everything else. To think he called an old girlfriend after you massacre your family and your two dogs tells how self centered and narcissist he is. He solved his financial problems I am sure he had money in an off shore account. Rip in peace his family.
I really really love this channel and I love how you recap new and old cases Chris and Amy. You are truly couple goals and I wish you both nothing but success. This channel is new and the first thing I did was look for your channel! Ty for everything you do. ❤️🙏
I couldn't click fast enough, I was watching another channel & saw the bell & jumped on 😍👍😃 I remember this story, it's horrible. I believe his still out there. With money anyone can disappear 🤷♀️🤦♀️ So sad fr!🥵😳💔 God bless 👑🙏🏻🕊🌼🌼
This is such a strange case. I have seen several UA-cam videos of it, and I still can’t seem to get it straightened out. One issue it that I have is he really didn’t gain anything by his family being murdered. And he left such an obvious trail, which would lead me to believe that he killed himself. But then again if he was really working for the DEA, it could’ve very much been staged. What a great mystery! Thank you for bringing this to us. Take care and blessings!
The family and his debt were an anchor of which he may not have seen a light at the end of the tunnel. He may have simply "hoisted" anchor and boarded "the Flying Dutchman".
I love your channel… it’s as if both of you were born to host a true crime series - the perfect fit! :) I’ve not heard this story in its entirety before now. I have to say, I’ve got no idea what’s what here, one of the first times I’ve got no opinion about what I think actually occurred - this one is a real head-scratcher!
I had never heard about this case until now thank you very much for sharing. The theory is what really gets me I could see it either way. I think like others have mentioned he is very much alive and hiding in plain sight. Always look forward to seeing new episodes 🙌
Thank you 😌 I'm french and I'm glad you made a recap of this case. This case is hauting everybody even 11 years later... We noticed here that his story is very very similar to John List's case.. So I hope that someday we know the truth...thank you again your recaps are always amazingly well made ❤️
@@TrueCrimeRecaps, wwhhaatt!! OH hell yea, I'm from Alabama!!! Omg, lol, and I just noticed my spell correct put "world"instead of "would" haha!! Well, I feel a little dumb!!
@@MightDie, yea but he's still alive and was calling her his wife when he was being pulled from the car, but there was no marriage, they just HAPPENED to have the same last name, lol
This reminds me so much of "The Lisk family massacre" - I hope they find out what happened to all this very soon. We got to be able to figure this out.
I love your channel , like everyone herd this crime , and what’s in the back of there minds ! TRUE CRIME RECAPS , THERE THE BEST THEYLL FIND OUT WHAT THEY CAN , JUST FOR US , Thank you guys , your the best !
Xavier is probably out there somewhere. How horrible of him to kill his own family. . .he could've just walked away without doing that, after getting into debt. He's a narcissist, psychopath, and a coward, pure & simple. 😱🙀
I'm french and live in Nantes, I'm just 10 mn away from their house by car. I've never dared to go there but I know that many people carry on coming often to take photos & selfies, it became a dodgy tourism...the house was estimated 400 000€ but struggled for years to be sold. After some time, some people bought it for 269 000€ to renovate it. After doing so, they made a huge profit by selling it for 479 000€ in 2021...Opportunists are always around the corner. As for this case is concerned (often compared to the John List case in the USA), it's hard to know where Dupont de Ligonnès is today...He vanished and has been on the run since 2011, but he could also be dead by now. But given that he had planned every single detail, it's hard to imagine that he would have done it all for nothing, by killing himself shortly afterwards...This case has moved the whole country and still "fascinates" people given the circumstances and the fact that we've never found him to date. I personnaly don't think that we'll ever find him or his body, it's very likely to remain an entire mystery forever, yet, I'd love him to be arrested or his remains to be found. May Anne, Benoît, Thomas, Arthur and Agnès rest in peace. ps: and a thought for their poor two labradors, also killed and buried.
I live in the state of Maine and I drive truck for a living and travel from southern Maine to mid coast Maine on a daily basis and I truly believe I’ve seen this guy somewhere in my travels I honestly believe I have and could I be wrong yes BUT my gut instinct tells me I’ve seen him here in Maine
well it probably wasn't him. Look how similar the chicago photo was. They have the same ear lobes, same adam's apple, same face shape, similar glasses, same brow ridge, and same chin. Even the nose is the same. Yet it can't be him unless people age backwards in 11 years.
Thank you for your take on this case, you gave additional info about his whereabouts after he left the family home. Chris, I really like your delivery of each case, it feels informative and honest. I've been following this case and believe Xavier committed the family massacre over days, mostly in the cover of night with the help of a yard cart or similar. He was in so much debt and like in the case of John List, thought his family would be better off not having to live in poverty or struggle because he felt like a failure as a family man. Or they were inconvenient to him. And I think he could still be alive since he have weeks or even months to plan his new life so look out for him Chicago folks! It's sad to know that relatives may think that the family is still alive.
@@TrueCrimeRecaps I absolutely think he did like John List. He wanted to reinvent himself as more successful without the consequences of a divorce and/or abandoning his family. It was a selfish act indeed. And it makes sense for him to set his sights on America in 2011 where not many Americans would know about the manhunt. I knew about it because I watched BBC News but the average American may not knew. I hope we find him and he faces imprisonment.
@@TrueCrimeRecaps I wouldn't doubt Xavier took a page from John List's "travel brochure" he may basically have pressed the reset button...List lived many years in a new life..this dude may be doing the same....he is NOT dead.
I know now when i see some photo of really happy and rich family or couple, i am not gonna be jealous for sure, true crime stories and ig thought me that something fishy is going on in that house 👁👄👁 Btw i think he changed his identity and he is still alive. He is already said “I am still alive!” These kind of monsters always want to show off and therefore he will be caught. I hope. Sorry for my poor english, love the channel and admire you and Amy 💚🖤
There are a few things that I don't understand with this case. If you have murdered your own family, why draw attention to their deaths with the Return to Sender note on the mailbox? Why would you send a note claiming to still be alive if authorities believed youu to be dead? Surely it would be easier to get away with the crime if policemen etc think you are dead as they will stop looking for you. And to the people who think he also killed himself after killing his family, in that case,, why go to the lengths of burying them under the terrace? Most people that commit murder/suicide are found right alongside the rest of their family.
"Agnes" in French has a very beautiful pronunciation: Ahn-yay. Most suicides, even those with a bucket list, don't care about concealing the outcoming so well. I believe this guy is blending in in Italy, Greece, or possibly S. America.
Very similar circumstances to the Todt murders in Florida. Seems to me that the likely perpetrator in each case had similar financial motives, stress, and possible feelings of shame for "failing" at their familial duty. I don't buy the DEA theory; I think people are looking for logical, understandable answers in a case where someone did something completely unthinkable for most of us.
I mean he probably did what most do who kill their family rather than admit to them that they failed as a father/ provider by having the family in tons of debt, he killed them thinking he'd doing them a service, then he went off on his own to "suffer" the rest of his life. Usually with another wife or something. I don't know how in this day and age of everyone being on the grid one can just disappear.
Xavier fits the true profile of a family annihilator! Most commit suicide. No body found so he could still be alive. Love your channel its the first time I've listened 🎶
This reminds me of a case in the 40s or 50s where a man had killed his wife and kids and then went on the run and changed his name and had a new life. He married again and he murdered his family for the money but all he had to do is sell a feature on his house and he would of got himself out of debt his name was John List .. its so similar to his story.
In away he reminds me of Robert Fisher from here in Arizona. Killed his family and took off on the run some think he's dead some think he might be alive out there hiding somewhere
Two and a half years ago in the hospital at the birth of my son there was something on the news on the radio and it said xavier was arrested in either Glasgow or Edinburgh I can't remember clearly but I couldn't find any other news on it ever
Yea it wasn't him, they got a partial match on finger prints but the dna test proved it wasn't him. Plus it looked nothing like him. Partial fingerprint matches are actually not that rare either.
Excellent job as always! This is truly bizarre and in most of the "bizarre" unsolved cases, once they are explained the answer is usually simple. In this case most likely he killed his family then offed himself in some remote location or ocean. I wonder if they checked for any stolen boats or rentals that were never returned in the small coastal towns mentioned? I don't believe DEA because that leaves too much evidence which draws questions which gets Netflix's specials. If it was DEA they would have done a much better job making the family disappear into the system in plain site. This is of course just armchair sleuthing. Keep up the good work!
My opinion hes alive and someone knows where he is.he did a horrible thing and justice for the family is needed.i pray someone will come forward and say where he is....
This gives me vibes of John List. I believe he is alive and he killed them all because just like John List he wanted to save them the embarrassment of destitution….or whatever List’s reason was. Family annihilator. So much like the Lists murders.
I wish the picture of the man in Chicago wasn't so grainy, because his left ear seems to resemble the left ear of the finale profile photo of Xavier. Cameras don't necessarily capture a person's age.
I really appreciate your covering this case. There are many questions, regarding why. I do believe he is guilty. While I do not know if he is alive now, I don’t think he died by his own hand.
Wasn’t the photo sent to the journalist confirmed a hoax? IIRC there existed copies of it online elsewhere before it was sent, severely diminishing credibility
Okay, you know you are devoted to a channel, when you’re binge-watching old videos and listening to old podcast-episodes in between uploads. Thank god it’s worth it ❤ from Austria 🇦🇹
There’s a province in Canada called Newfoundland and Labrador, and below it is a island that belongs to France called St. Pierre. It only takes a driver’s license to pass into Canada and vice versa, it’s also only a 14 hr place ride from France to reach St. Pierre and only a ferry ride to get into Newfoundland. Although I know Xavier wouldn’t go that route, but it’s a possibility. I know some French families in Newfoundland come from St Pierre to find work and my old school and a bunch of stores around the coast employed a bunch of France-French people.
Now I’m confused..I heard one version saying that Xavier left the note saying that they to American because they was in danger even the episode of unsolved mysteries mentioned this
"Je suis encore vivant." As the note says, I do believe that Xavier is still alive. Where is the ongoing mystery. I certainly remember the unsettling documentary.
Sociopaths, psychopaths do not end their own life unless it’s to stop someone else from having that pleasure. They are narcissist’s. they do not think they have done anything wrong so they do not feel guilt . He would only die if someone else killed him or he was about to be killed.
To All states around the be o be aware of a man murdered his entire family DuPont he extremely dangerous. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢. 😢😢😢😢😢. Please please please help this family have Peace
Perhaps Xavier is in Canada with a new US passport under a different name? Then he would run fewer chances of standing out because of his accent. Intriguing mystery!
Friends in high places. Aristocracy and connections! Professional murder scene cleaner service and cover up. Then planned escape and disappearance... Absolutely horrid!
So sad may they rest in peace! If Xavier did not do anything so heinous instead he seen something he shouldn’t have so the only opinion possible was this awful elaborate cover up?! Hoping this is fake and they’re all safe somewhere in witnesses protection that’s much more fathomable than killing your family. I may have heard enough awful human behaviour so now I’m making up much better theories.
I’m not a psychiatrist or any person with expertise in psychosis. But, I strongly believe Xavier suffered from mental health issues. He killed his family no doubt. At some point he wandered off and perished form exposure. I believe that his remains will be accidentally be found.
If he is, still alive, I pray for him to be captured. (Then, if this was a hit, from someone he owed (whatever), I hope that person,or person's are captured.)) If the entire family are alive, in my mind, that is perfect, (none of my business). Disturbing that family could not confirm, so it is a mystery. I am all over the place with theories. Heartbreaking. Prayers, and love, for all of the loved ones, who really do not have any real cloture. 💝🙏💝
I totally agree he was hiding so many other things a bad back would be nothing at all to lie about. I think he did it to get out of debt and start a new life.
This “Count” is so despicable. He can’t run successful businesses and loses his family’s inheritance (including reputation). Shows how some people can only take riches and titles by force. When they must survive by honest means they crumble like the losers they are. I hope he’s reading every comment netizens leave back for him.
What do you think happened to Xavier Dupont de Ligonnes? Is he dead or alive?
I'm always suspicious when only one adult or teenage family member is left alive or can't be located. Especially with money being no issue. I'm sure there's a Ligonnes near the pot of gold at the end of this one.
He got away with murder
And that's a million dollar question. Isn't it wonderful there are still some mysteries in life? 🤔
@@52conn no, he just got away. There is no statute of limitation for murder, even in France.
@@tamaralaber5010 I think money is the issue. Apparently that is why he killed them. And I doubt any of his friends would support him.
I love when creators don’t feel the need for tacky obnoxious backgrounds. It’s just not necessary and looks much better like this and the way Mike’s is on TC.
Omg I love TC!!! Mike is a legend!!
Thank you Ginger! Less can be more!😁
Totally 100% agree. I love how Chris and Amy respect the viewer enough to "report" the info and let the viewer do with it what they will. Refreshing.
My 2 fave channels are "True Crime Recaps" with Chris and Amy and "That Chapter" with Mike. They are THE best!!!
I am always down to give it a goo
I've always wondered how Xavier was able to clean the house so perfectly that no traces of blood has ever been found. And how long could he have been planning this and why. This is very disturbing
He even told his wife that "a family sacrifice wouldn't be a bad idea". She told a friend at work about the problems in their marriage and what he told her... On that same day, she should have run away with her kids, far away from the monster!
@@marleneorein9484That's insanely horrible to think about. Xavier is literally unhinged
I always assumed he used a pillow or something to cover their faces first to prevent blood from spilling everywhere and so he didn’t have to look at them during the murder.
He's still alive in my personal opinion. Never really thought he would end his own life. He's somewhere out there, probably watching this video.
Maybe you are him
He's probably living in a Muslim land, on the north of Africa. He got in one of the baton-mouche that cross the Mediterranean and vanished there, starting a new life. There is evidence he stole a passport from a French-Portuguese citizen and used to travel to around...
As a french i m into that story some say he killed himself some say he is alive , recently i saw the news they say some people saw him. We will never know ,his family is in denial

Having worked for Dupont in Delaware for decades I guarantee you insanity has run rampant in that family for generations.
de Nemours then, not de Ligonnès :)
Bizarre case. I don’t think the man in Chicago is him, he looked too young. I think he’s alive somewhere, and I think he did it alone. Love your content 😊
Same here
I think he did it myself too, but I’m torn if he took his own life as a forest area if you get lost in can be deadly.
That is a younger version of him, apparently that's not the photo that was sent to authorities which im assuming is unreleased
@@dragorn3212 Right. That looks like an earlier photo of him, perhaps when he was still in France or on a trip to the USA. That woman next to him, even though she's blurred out, looks very much like his wife.

This case fascinates me. I do find it strange that the family were not allowed to identify the bodies. It makes the mystery more complex.
Xavier is alive. He got rid of stuff that were holding him back.his family and his debt.

If he works for DEA, they would be the first one to bring him to authorities.
Narcissistic personality disorder; he was failing financially and couldn’t face lowering his standard of living perhaps.
He gained his freedom from those obligations...
The family and his debt were an anchor of which he may not have seen a light at the end of the tunnel. He may have simply "hoisted" anchor and boarded "the Flying Dutchman".
Another amazing and an intriguing presentation from Chris/Amy which is a greatly appreciated. Unanswered question remains... where is he?

I don't buy the DEA theory; I think people are looking for logical, understandable answers in a case where someone did something completely unthinkable for most of us.
I mean he probably did what most do who kill their family rather than admit to them that they failed as a father/ provider by having the family in tons of debt, he killed them thinking he'd doing them a service, then he went off on his own to "suffer" the rest of his life. Usually with another wife or something. I don't know how in this day and age of everyone being on the grid one can just disappear.
Xavier fits the true profile of a family annihilator! Most commit suicide. No body found so he could still be alive. Love your channel its the first time I've listened 🎶
This reminds me of a case in the 40s or 50s where a man had killed his wife and kids and then went on the run and changed his name and had a new life. He married again and he murdered his family for the money but all he had to do is sell a feature on his house and he would of got himself out of debt his name was John List .. its so similar to his story.
That took place in the 70s. There was a Tiffany glass dome in his mansion's ballroom. Ironically he left his family's body's in the ballroom.
@@Ripleys_mom oh yes it was thank you for correcting me huni Ironic wasnt it
In away he reminds me of Robert Fisher from here in Arizona. Killed his family and took off on the run some think he's dead some think he might be alive out there hiding somewhere
Human behaviour is more bizarre and creepy than any piece of fiction!!!
Reminds me so much of the John List case! This loss of life is so tragic!
My new favourite true crimers ❤️💞❤️
Two and a half years ago in the hospital at the birth of my son there was something on the news on the radio and it said xavier was arrested in either Glasgow or Edinburgh I can't remember clearly but I couldn't find any other news on it ever
Yea it wasn't him, they got a partial match on finger prints but the dna test proved it wasn't him. Plus it looked nothing like him. Partial fingerprint matches are actually not that rare either.
@@mattg768 thank you for clearing that up for me man.
What a wicked soulless person
Excellent job as always! This is truly bizarre and in most of the "bizarre" unsolved cases, once they are explained the answer is usually simple. In this case most likely he killed his family then offed himself in some remote location or ocean. I wonder if they checked for any stolen boats or rentals that were never returned in the small coastal towns mentioned? I don't believe DEA because that leaves too much evidence which draws questions which gets Netflix's specials. If it was DEA they would have done a much better job making the family disappear into the system in plain site. This is of course just armchair sleuthing.
Keep up the good work!
Even the dogs. Dang.
My opinion hes alive and someone knows where he is.he did a horrible thing and justice for the family is needed.i pray someone will come forward and say where he is....
This gives me vibes of John List. I believe he is alive and he killed them all because just like John List he wanted to save them the embarrassment of destitution….or whatever List’s reason was. Family annihilator. So much like the Lists murders.
I wish the picture of the man in Chicago wasn't so grainy, because his left ear seems to resemble the left ear of the finale profile photo of Xavier. Cameras don't necessarily capture a person's age.
I really appreciate your covering this case. There are many questions, regarding why. I do believe he is guilty. While I do not know if he is alive now, I don’t think he died by his own hand.
Wasn’t the photo sent to the journalist confirmed a hoax? IIRC there existed copies of it online elsewhere before it was sent, severely diminishing credibility
Okay, you know you are devoted to a channel, when you’re binge-watching old videos and listening to old podcast-episodes in between uploads.
Thank god it’s worth it
❤ from Austria 🇦🇹
There’s a province in Canada called Newfoundland and Labrador, and below it is a island that belongs to France called St. Pierre.
It only takes a driver’s license to pass into Canada and vice versa, it’s also only a 14 hr place ride from France to reach St. Pierre and only a ferry ride to get into Newfoundland.
Although I know Xavier wouldn’t go that route, but it’s a possibility.
I know some French families in Newfoundland come from St Pierre to find work and my old school and a bunch of stores around the coast employed a bunch of France-French people.
he get annoyed by the dogs grieving for their family ?
Now I’m confused..I heard one version saying that Xavier left the note saying that they to American because they was in danger even the episode of unsolved mysteries mentioned this
Y'all have a wonderful day today 😙
You too!!
No way Xavier killed himself ... he’s out there.
"Je suis encore vivant." As the note says, I do believe that Xavier is still alive. Where is the ongoing mystery. I certainly remember the unsettling documentary.

Sociopaths, psychopaths do not end their own life unless it’s to stop someone else from having that pleasure. They are narcissist’s. they do not think they have done anything wrong so they do not feel guilt . He would only die if someone else killed him or he was about to be killed.
100% well said mate
To All states around the be o be aware of a man murdered his entire family DuPont he extremely dangerous. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢. 😢😢😢😢😢. Please please please help this family have Peace
Perhaps Xavier is in Canada with a new US passport under a different name? Then he would run fewer chances of standing out because of his accent. Intriguing mystery!
I've always thought of this case as decades old. Only eleven? Fucking wild.
He's alive, sadly his family is gone.
Friends in high places. Aristocracy and connections! Professional murder scene cleaner service and cover up. Then planned escape and disappearance... Absolutely horrid!
100% youre right
So sad may they rest in peace! If Xavier did not do anything so heinous instead he seen something he shouldn’t have so the only opinion possible was this awful elaborate cover up?! Hoping this is fake and they’re all safe somewhere in witnesses protection that’s much more fathomable than killing your family. I may have heard enough awful human behaviour so now I’m making up much better theories.
Why the dogs!?!?! 😭
So sorry what a waste of young life and beautiful family Rip to all of them.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🌹🌹🌹🌹 His really pure evil soul .
That picture of the guy in Chicago looks more like the singer Moby
I’m not a psychiatrist or any person with expertise in psychosis. But, I strongly believe Xavier suffered from mental health issues. He killed his family no doubt. At some point he wandered off and perished form exposure. I believe that his remains will be accidentally be found.
It's worth noting the Dupont family has a history of mental illness and possible inbreeding which could contribute to mental illnesses
Yeah the DEA doesn’t investigate drugs and money laundering in France. They have no jurisdiction
Idk what happened to them, but may they rest in peace
If he is, still alive, I pray for him to be captured.
(Then, if this was a hit, from someone he owed (whatever), I hope that person,or person's are captured.))
If the entire family are alive, in my mind, that is perfect, (none of my business). Disturbing that family could not confirm, so it is a mystery. I am all over the place with theories.
Heartbreaking. Prayers, and love, for all of the loved ones, who really do not have any real cloture. 💝🙏💝
Would like to just add, thank you, for all you do!!💌
You have a real puzzle this time.
Indeed!
Hey Chris I tend to lean more towards him doing it because he could have lied about having a bad back but it is a very, very strange case isn't it?
Thank you Lesse, easy to go back and fourth with this one!
I totally agree he was hiding so many other things a bad back would be nothing at all to lie about. I think he did it to get out of debt and start a new life.
It is extremely hard to travel freely with a rifle and a suppressor.
This “Count” is so despicable. He can’t run successful businesses and loses his family’s inheritance (including reputation). Shows how some people can only take riches and titles by force. When they must survive by honest means they crumble like the losers they are. I hope he’s reading every comment netizens leave back for him.
