Sophie Toscan du Plantier was a 39-year-old French producer, wife, and mother who traveled alone to her remote cottage in West Cork just before Christmas 1996. Two days later, she was found dead outside her gate, beaten beyond recognition, in a case that drew in Irish folklore, French cinema, a troubled local journalist, years of failed prosecutions, and a family’s long fight for justice across two countries.Sources:https://www.irishtimes.com/news/crime-and-law/from-paris-to-west-cork-and-back-the-story-of-the-sophie-toscan-du-plantier-murder-investigation-1.3910782https://www.irishtimes.com/news/crime-and-law/the-story-of-the-sophie-toscan-du-plantier-murder-investigation-a-chronology-1.2158891https://www.irishtimes.com/news/crime-and-law/a-23-year-investigation-what-next-for-the-sophie-toscan-du-plantier-murder-case-1.4123633https://www.irishtimes.com/crime-law/2024/01/22/garda-cold-case-review-of-film-producers-murder-to-continue-despite-ian-baileys-death/https://www.irishtimes.com/crime-law/2025/08/15/sophie-toscan-du-plantier-gardai-awaiting-results-of-tests-using-advanced-dna-collection-method/https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/may/31/briton-convicted-of-murder-french-film-maker-ian-bailey-sophie-toscan-du-plantierhttps://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/jan/23/well-never-have-the-truth-death-of-suspect-ian-bailey-floors-family-of-french-film-makerhttps://www.lemonde.fr/en/police-and-justice/article/2024/01/21/ian-bailey-man-convicted-in-france-for-murder-dies-in-ireland_6453379_105.htmlhttps://shows.acast.com/westcork/abouthttps://www.netflix.com/title/81094755This Week’s Episode Brought To You By:Progressive Insurance - Discover better rates at https://www.progressive.com/ ****Shopify - $1 per month trial - http://shopify.com/lovemurderWarby Parker - Our listeners can buy one prescription pair and get 20% off additional pairs at WarbyParker.com/lovemurderHers - Personalized, affordable plans for weight loss, hair, and anxiety - forhers.com/LOVEMURDERSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Three of our past subjects died this spring. Betty Broderick, who served 35 years for the 1989 La Jolla murders of her ex-husband Dan and his new wife Linda. Raynella Dossett Leath, the Tennessee nurse twice tried in the deaths of her district attorney husband and her second husband, and ultimately cleared. And Claudine Longet, the French-born singer whose 1976 shooting of Olympic skier Spider Sabich in Aspen ended in a thirty-day sentence served largely on weekends. We revisit how each relationship broke.Sources:https://www.cbsnews.com/losangeles/news/betty-broderick-dies-in-custody/https://timesofsandiego.com/crime/2026/05/09/convicted-murderer-betty-broderick-dead-at-78/https://www.wbir.com/article/news/local/raynella-leath-a-nurse-mom-and-focus-of-criminal-investigations-in-the-deaths-of-two-husbands-dies-at-age-77/51-1afc5928-0df6-40b5-aebc-a3fe0b5147b5https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/raynella-leath-nurse-mom-focus-203603768.htmlhttps://www.hollywoodreporter.com/music/music-news/claudine-longet-dead-andy-williams-spider-sabich-1236595818/https://deadline.com/2026/05/claudine-longet-dead-1236904878/Find LOVE MURDER online:Website: lovemurder.loveInstagram: @lovemurderpodTwitter: @lovemurderpodFacebook: LoveMrdrPodTikTok: @LoveMurderPodPatreon: /LoveMurderPodCredits: Love Murder is hosted by Jessie Pray and Andie Cassette, researched by Sarah Lynn Robinson and researched and written by Jessie Pray, produced by Nathaniel Whittemore and edited by Kyle Barbour-HoffmanSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

When a beloved Arizona teacher, therapist, and artist is bludgeoned to death in her own home, suspicion falls on the two men who loved her — an ex-husband who couldn't accept the divorce, and the best friend living in her guest house. A phone call cut short, mysterious DNA under her fingernails, and a marriage that wouldn't die collide in a case that twists through an anonymous email, a contaminated autopsy table, and two trials.Sources:Then No One Can Have Her by Caitlin Rother (Kensington/Pinnacle, 2015)https://www.nbcnews.com/feature/dateline-full-episodes/full-episode-mystery-bridle-path-n66806https://www.cbsnews.com/news/48-hours-end-of-the-trail/https://www.cbsnews.com/news/48-hours-twists-turns-in-murder-case-against-ariz-stockbrocker/https://www.nbcnews.com/dateline/mystery-bridle-path-reporters-notebook-n66251https://www.signalsaz.com/articles/murder-in-prescott-the-case-of-the-left-handed-7-wood/https://www.basementfortproductions.com/crimelines-episodes/carolkennedytimeline2https://www.dcourier.com/news/democker-fails-on-appeal-conviction-and-sentence-affirmed/article_0dd5f000-59a3-5dab-ae31-915be1b1fcf4.htmlhttps://www.deseret.com/2014/1/9/20460891/sensational-murder-case-in-arizona-draws-to-close/https://prescottenews.com/2021/08/14/local-author-releases-second-edition-of-his-book-on-the-notorious-williamson-valley-murder/This Week’s Episode Brought To You By:Hers - Personalized, affordable plans for weight loss, hair, and anxiety - forhers.com/LOVEMURDERQuince - Elevated essentials that feel effortless.

With no forced entry and no stolen items, however, the investigation turns to personal vendettas, ultimately leading to the discovery of an additional linked murder and landing one of the perpetrators on death row.Sources:1.
