Laetitia Toureaux: Murder on the Metro | #428

RedHanded

Thursday, 4 December 2025 - 1 hour 4 minutes

In May 1937, a chic young woman entered an empty Paris Métro carriage. Less than a minute later, she was discovered bleeding to death with a dagger in her neck.

It’s a locked-room whodunnit that has bamboozled the French public for almost a century.

The murder of Laetitia Toureaux unravelled her dizzying double (and triple) lives as a factory worker by day, nightclub siren by night – and a glamorous undercover spy tangled up in the deadliest politics of 1930s France…

The case still remains officially unsolved: but can we solve it? Step aboard and join us as we try to crack this shadowy Parisian mystery.
