Weapon found by chance in a lake may be the key to solving one of France's most mysterious crimes

A weapon accidentally found in a lake in the French Alps could be the missing piece to solve one of France's most mysterious crimes. The case occurred on September 5, 2012, when Saad al-Hilli, his wife Iqbal and his mother-in-law Suhaila al-Allaf were found shot dead inside the family vehicle, in the French Alps region. A French cyclist, Sylvain Mollier, who was passing by, was also murdered. After 14 years, the perpetrator of the crime has never been identified, but authorities hope that the discovery of this weapon could finally lead to the resolution of the case.
