Sophie Le Tan case: this other murder for which Jean-Marc Reiser, her alleged assassin, was indicted

Disappeared on September 7, 2018, the dismembered body of Sophie Le Tan was finally found by walkers on October 23, 2019 about forty kilometers from Strasbourg. Working as a receptionist in a hotel, the young student had to go and visit an apartment for rent on the side of Schiltigheim that day, a town north of Strasbourg, before taking the train to celebrate his birthday with his sister and mother in Mulhouse. In fact, Sophie Le Tan responded to an ad posted on the Le Bon Coin website by a certain Jean-Marc Reiser.

Arrested by the police, the latter finally acknowledged his “involvement” in the death of the young student. During the investigation, the police highlighted several incriminating elements against the main suspect. Most damning of all being the DNA of Sophie Le Tan, which was found on a saw at the home of Jean-Marc Reiser. Still denying premeditation, the alleged murderer of the young student has been appearing before the Bas-Rhin Assize Court since Monday June 27, 2022. The day before the opening of his trial, the program seven to eightpresented by Harry Roselmack on TF1broadcast a subject rich in revelations about Jean-Marc Reiser. We learn, for example, that he was indicted in another murder case.

Jean-Marc Reiser: suspected of the murder of another young woman before Sophie Le Tan

This is the case Francoise Hohmann, a sales representative who disappeared on September 8, 1987, and whose body was never found. While she was going door-to-door to sell vacuum cleaners, her last client was Jean-Marc Reiser, with whom the 23-year-old young woman gave a demonstration before disappearing. His car will be found barely 4 days later, just 4 kilometers from the home of Jean-Marc Reiser.

For lack of elements, he will be released at the end of his police custody. He will eventually become the main suspect again after the discovery in his car of weapons, medicines, and photos of naked women, sleeping and victims of sexual violence, by customs officers 10 years later. Tried for the murder of Françoise Hohmann, Jean-Marc Reiser was acquitted, before being sentenced to 15 years in prison for rape and sexual assault in another case in 2001.
