Certain elements surrounding this crime raise the interest of the Parloir investigators: the fact of André Leroux’s spouse appears to be a collateral victim; the smuggling activities that were rampant at the time; the fact that the former mayor owned a bar, at a time when political mores were different.

Félix Séguin mentions that the return of this case to the spotlight has not yet made it possible to discover new leads that could lead to the author of this double murder. On the other hand, the journalist indicates that he was contacted by a person who could have certain relevant information. The file is to be continued.

In the meantime, the program Le Parloir arouses great interest on the new channel Témoin, which is devoted to legal affairs. A second season is also under discussion, since the current season has already led to “a surge of new cases to explore”, assures Félix Séguin.

On the air since October 10, the show Le Parloir has 10 episodes of 60 minutes each broadcast on Tuesdays at 9 p.m. and repeats.
