Lake-Found Pistol Revives Hope in 2012 French Family Murder Cold Case

Saad al-Hilli, his wife, and his mother-in-law were shot dead during a family holiday in eastern France in September 2012. The case has remained unsolved for over a decade, becoming one of France's most prominent cold cases. A pistol recently recovered from a lake has given investigators a potential new lead. Authorities hope the weapon could help shed light on the circumstances and perpetrators behind the triple killing.
