Criminal Investigations: One Word Too Many, The Leleu Case

A wealthy theater producer has disappeared. His name is Alain Leleu and he is 63 years old. The producer had spent the weekend prior to his disappearance with his mistress: Alexandra Nicolas. She confirms that she hasn’t been able to reach him since he left, on Sunday afternoon.

She became the prime suspect and quickly confessed. But is her version of events credible? While awaiting trial, Alexandra Nicolas agreed to tell how and why she committed her crime…
