A Light in the Dark: The Murder of Sophie Toscan du Plantier

Two days before Christmas in 1996, French television producer Sophie Toscan du Plantier was found brutally murdered outside her remote holiday cottage in West Cork, Ireland. Her death shocked the quiet community and ignited an investigation that would span decades, crossing borders and dividing public opinion.

In this episode, we unravel the chilling mystery of Sophie’s final days — from her solitary trip to her beloved Irish retreat to the morning her body was discovered.

This episode explores Sophie’s life, the troubled investigation that followed, and the man who became the prime suspect. We shed light on a case that remains officially unsolved in Ireland — yet solved in the eyes of another country.

Who was Sophie, and why did her peaceful refuge become the site of such violence? Join us as we seek truth, justice, and remembrance in A Light in the Dark: The Murder of Sophie Toscan du Plantier.
