A French film producer’s 1996 murder in a remote West Cork farmhouse sparked a cross‑border legal battle. Irish police faced limited resources, contaminated evidence, and media pressure, while French authorities demanded extradition of a suspect. Multiple suspects, flawed forensic leads, and procedural errors left the case unresolved, highlighting challenges of jurisdiction, forensic standards, and media influence. The tragedy spurred advocacy for victims, reforms in international cooperation, and ongoing debate over justice.
