What Happened to Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès? Theories
Unsolved Mysteries: Where Is Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès? Here Are 2 Main Theories
2
Some believe that Dupont de Ligonnès is a fugitive on the run. After all, he had seemingly put in so much thought in hiding the bodies and buying time for himself. There were many ways in which he could have left. According to Martin, he could have taken a cargo ship in Fos, head on the highway toward Italy, or even board a train to Croatia. Dupont de Ligonnès may have left for Latin America — in the Unsolved Mysteries episode, Martin mentioned that he knew enough Spanish and English to get by. de Stabenrath cosigns this theory as well.
Over the years, there have been many tips regarding sightings of him, but none of them brought investigators any closer to finding Dupont de Ligonnès. In 2015, someone, signing as Dupont de Ligonnès, sent a Nantes journalist a picture of Dupont de Ligonnès' sons Arthur and Benoît. In the back, there was a handwritten note that read, "I am still alive." But is he still alive in 2020? This mystery remains unsolved.
