Crazy rumors are rife regarding the Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès affair. While he has not given any sign of life since April 14, 2011, the Frenchman suspected of having killed his wife and four children was seen in Doubs, in the Burgundy-Franche-Comté region, according to “The Republican East”. A woman “thinks she saw Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès in Montferrand-le-Château, within the community of sisters of Béthanie. She is not formal but thinks she recognized him,” said public prosecutor Étienne Manteaux.
The Besançon research brigade carried out several interviews, to no avail. “No other person came to corroborate this testimony,” added Étienne Manteaux. But investigators went to the scene where the witness said she saw the wanted Frenchman. Several items were seized, including a cup. It is the investigating judge who will decide whether to carry out a DNA test. For the moment, nothing excludes the track of Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès.
