A fire breaks out in an apartment, apparently caused by a candle. In the bedroom, Jacques Brunet, a laboratory director, dies of asphyxiation. The investigation concludes that the death was accidental, but the insurance expert doesn't believe it. He conducts his own investigations and discovers that a crime was covered up as an accident. But who could have wanted to harm this seemingly ordinary man? As their investigations progress, the police will direct their search towards a woman with a perverse and manipulative personality, who will try to kill again to save her skin. Every Saturday at 2 p.m. on France 2, this magazine focuses on "cold cases". Closed cases, deemed insoluble, which sometimes resisted the tenacity of investigators for nearly 50 years before a clue, an unexpected testimony or an innovative scientific expertise allowed the culprits to be caught. Alongside Marie Drucker, criminologist Alain Bauer brings technical, psychological, sociological or historical insight to each case to understand the procedures implemented during the investigation, but also its issues and repercussions.
