The Unsolved Metro Murder of Laetitia Toureaux | Killed in 45 Seconds

In May 1937, a chic young woman named Laetitia Toureaux boarded an empty first-class carriage on the Paris Métro. Less than a minute later, at the next stop, she was discovered dying with a dagger lodged in her neck. No one saw an attacker escape. The doors between carriages were locked. And the scene became one of France’s most baffling “locked-room” murders, unsolved for almost a century. But as investigators dug into Laetitia’s life, the story widened far beyond a random attack. By day she worked in a factory. By night she moved through Paris dance halls. And behind the scenes, police files suggested she may have been an informant embedded in extremist politics during one of the most volatile eras in modern French history, with theories linking her death to La Cagoule and even to Mussolini’s secret police. In this episode, we trace Laetitia’s double life, reconstruct the minute-by-minute timeline on Line 8, and follow the suspects, from jealous lovers to fascist networks, to ask: who could kill a woman in 45 seconds on a train she entered alone? 🔔 Subscribe for more RedHanded content 👍 Like this video to help others discover these important cases 💬 Comment below with your thoughts See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell... 🎧 Listen to more episodes here: https://open.spotify.com/show/0emVYc0... 🔗 LINKTREE: https://redhanded.komi.io/ For more exclusive content 🤭 Patreon:   / redhanded   And don't forget to follow us on social media: Instagram:   / redhandedthepod   TikTok:   / redhandedthepod
