The mysterious Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès affair continues to generate a lot of ink. Recently, his sister, Christine Dupont de Ligonnès declared that the whole family would still be alive…
In 2011, five members of Ligonnès’ family – the mother and her four children – were found dead in their Nantes home. The father of the family, Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès, has since disappeared and cannot be found. Although the likely hypothesis is that he committed suicide, his body was never found. He was apparently seen in the Var at Roquebrune-sur-Argens in April 2011. Since then, nothing has happened, and the most outlandish hypotheses have multiplied about him.
If until now, rumors of the reappearance of Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès were rife, no one had yet mentioned the possibility that the family was still alive even though their bodies had been clearly identified at the crime scene. .

The theory of the sister of Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès
In his book, Xavier, my presumed innocent brother, published on March 13, Christine Dupont de Ligonnès affirms that the whole family is still alive. She would have been exfiltrated to the United States for whom her brother worked in the greatest secrecy. The bodies found on site were not the correct ones and the French police therefore “staged” the crime with the complicity of the American authorities.
This hypothesis is based on a letter written by his brother that he sent to his relatives to explain the disappearance of his family. According to journalist Anne-Sophie Martin, who investigated this affair which she relates in her book The Disappeared “It’s a letter that gives his loved ones something to think about so that they can defend him,” she declared to franceinfo.

“Idiocy” according to the police officer in charge of the investigation
Police officer Philippe Cussac was central commissioner of Nantes in 2011 when the bodies of the Dupont de Ligonnès family were found in their house. “I was at 55 boulevard Schuman, the day they took out the bodies buried under the terrace of the family home and I know what I saw and felt. DNA analyzes also spoke,” says former police officer Philippe Cussac.
For him there is no doubt about the identity of the five victims… “How can we defend the thesis of an exfiltration of the entire family to the United States by the DEA, the American federal agency responsible for fighting against trafficking and distribution of drugs? » he asks. “I was stunned, this is nonsense. This woman is in complete denial,” laments Philippe Cussac.
