About this listen

 On May 16th, 1937, at around 6pm, a woman in her late 20s left a dance hall in Paris and walked quickly toward a bus stop. About 25 minutes later, she entered the metro station and took a seat in an empty first class car while the other passengers crammed into the second-class cars. When the car arrived at the next station forty-five seconds later, the doors opened on a crime scene: the woman, Laetitia Toureaux, sat slouched in her seat, bleeding heavily with a nine-inch dagger buried to its hilt in her neck. The woman died before reaching the hospital and wasn’t able to name her attacker, leaving the Parisian police with a perplexing locked room mystery on their hands. Why was Laetitia killed? Was her murder an assassination? Was she a spy for the Italian government? Listen to join the discussion!
