The Annecy Alps Massacre: Unsolved Mystery of the Al-Hilli Family & Cyclist | True Crime Documentary

The baffling Annecy Alps shootings (Al-Hilli murders): A British family and a French cyclist brutally murdered in a remote French clearing in 2012. This true crime documentary explores the decade-long unsolved mystery that shocked Europe and continues to perplex investigators.

In September 2012, British engineer Saad al-Hilli, his wife Iqbal, his mother-in-law Suhala al-Allaf, and local French cyclist Sylvain Mollier were all shot and killed in a secluded parking area near Chevaline in the French Alps. The Al-Hillis' two young daughters, Zainab (7) and Zina (4), miraculously survived the horrific attack; Zainab was seriously injured, while Zina remained hidden and unharmed under her mother's skirt for eight hours. This video delves into the gruesome crime scene discovered by passing cyclist Brett Martin, the 21 shell casings fired from an antique 7.65mm Luger P06 pistol, and the myriad of complex and often conflicting theories that French and British police have investigated over the years. These include a bitter family inheritance dispute involving Saad's brother Zaid, potential links to Saad's sensitive engineering work, international intrigue connected to Iraq, the possibility that Sylvain Mollier was the true target, or even a random attack by a lone wolf killer. We examine the various individuals who came under suspicion, the strange coincidences (such as Iqbal's American ex-husband dying on the same day), and why this disturbing and violent case remains unsolved after more than a decade of intense investigation.
