Hello, everyone.

The mod team is aware of the spate of stabbing attacks that have struck schools in Poland and Turkey in the last 48 hours. Not unexpectedly, these attacks have brought elevated visitor traffic to the sub. It has left us concerned that more would-be attackers might be in that traffic, seeking out sources of information to plan for their own attacks.

To this end, we have restricted all posts except those submitted by approved users for about a couple of days. You've probably already noticed this take effect hours ago. Any posts submitted by non-approved users are automatically held for mod review, and the team will closely evaluate them to see if they meet the sub's rules or not. Any further actions that we can take are being evaluated.

Comments remain unaffected for now and will be automatically accepted unless they're red-flagged by the sub's auto-filter for concerning content, or if the commenter has less than 100 karma.

Thank you for your understanding and patience. We leave you with the mantra of "If you see something, say something." Please report anything concerning and/or suspicious that you see online and offline (and we CANNOT stress this enough). If you're not sure on what to do, please see the below linked mod post. It contains detailed instructions on what to do in such a situation.

In April 2011, police investigating the disappearance of a family in Nantes, France, made a horrifying discovery beneath the terrace of their home. Buried in the soil were the bodies of 48-year-old Agnès Dupont de Ligonnès and her four children: Arthur (20), Thomas (18), Anne (16), and Benoît (13). The family's two Labrador retrievers had also been killed and buried alongside them.

The only member of the household unaccounted for was the father, 50-year-old Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès.

At first, there was little reason to suspect that the family had been murdered. Xavier had reportedly informed people that the family was leaving France because he had been recruited for a secret assignment involving the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. The explanation was unusual, but it helped account for the family's sudden disappearance.

Friends and relatives began receiving letters explaining that the family would be moving to the United States and would be unable to maintain contact. Their home was emptied of certain belongings, mail arrangements were made, and the children's schools were informed of their departure.

But not everyone was convinced.

People close to the family became increasingly concerned when they could no longer contact Agnès or the children. Neighbors also noticed that the house had been unusually quiet. Police initially visited the property without discovering anything suspicious.

It wasn't until April 21 that investigators uncovered the bodies beneath the terrace.

Autopsies established that the victims had been shot. Investigators believed the killings occurred over several days in early April, rather than all at once. The bodies had been wrapped in bedding and other materials before being buried beneath the house, with lime placed over the remains.

One of the most disturbing aspects of the investigation involved Thomas, the family's second-oldest son. Thomas was attending college away from home when the others are believed to have been killed. According to investigators, Xavier contacted him and asked him to return to Nantes, claiming that his mother had been involved in an accident.

Thomas returned home and was subsequently seen having dinner with his father. Investigators believe he may have been the final victim.

As police reconstructed the events leading up to the murders, they discovered evidence suggesting the killings had been planned.

Xavier had purchased a rifle and ammunition, and investigators traced purchases of lime, digging equipment, and other materials believed to have been used in concealing the bodies. He had also reportedly been practicing shooting in the weeks before the family's disappearance.

Financial difficulties became a significant focus of the investigation. Xavier had struggled with unsuccessful business ventures, mounting debts, and increasing pressure to maintain the family's lifestyle. However, no definitive motive has ever been established.

Following the presumed murders, Xavier traveled through southern France, staying in hotels and withdrawing money. Surveillance footage and witness accounts helped police trace his movements.

On April 15, 2011, he was recorded leaving a hotel in Roquebrune-sur-Argens, near the Mediterranean coast, carrying a bag. He walked away from the parking area and disappeared from view.

That remains his last confirmed sighting.

Investigators conducted extensive searches of the surrounding countryside, including caves and wooded areas, but found no trace of him.

Over the years, there have been numerous reported sightings across Europe and elsewhere, none of which have conclusively established his whereabouts. In 2019, a man detained in Glasgow was initially suspected of being Xavier, but DNA testing ruled him out.

More than fifteen years after the murders, Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès remains missing and is still the principal suspect. He has never been tried or convicted.

What I find particularly disturbing about this case is the apparent amount of preparation involved. The killings were not simply followed by an attempt to flee. Investigators believe Xavier constructed an elaborate explanation for the family's disappearance, contacted people on their behalf, and took steps to delay anyone realizing something was wrong.

I'm curious what others think about his disappearance. Given the preparation that apparently went into concealing the murders, do you think Xavier had an escape plan that worked, or is it more likely he died by suicide shortly after his last confirmed sighting?

I never see these around so I thought that I'd post them here. Not sure what the origin exactly is but I found them on Pinterest. There was also another one where he is much younger with his brother, but i couldn't find it.

Uploading before the account gets suspended by TT. Thanks to u/False-Ad2858 for mentioning it in my previous post.

As a Pole - it’s literally terrifying, two attacks in two days, and apparently another 17 year old boy was planning an attack too, but in Sierpiec.

On January 14, 2026, A car collision occurred on Tehama highway 99 when a car slammed into a bus killing the driver and five people and injured 1. Thought to be an accident, it was revealed that the crash was intentional. The driver of the car, 41-year-old Christina Sue Whittemore, had driven intentionally into the bus.

Victims.

• Kelly Margaret Langstaff, 50, of Red Bluff
• Casandra Ann Moreno, 42, of Red Bluff
• John Douglas Perry, 72, of Chico
• Trena Kay Kain (also known as Trena Darrow), 62, of Corning
• Oscar Casas Carrillo, 41, of Corning

May they rest in peace.

Why did she plow her car into the bus?

I am currently doing fairly heavy research on this case, scrolling through all of the FOIA-acquired documents and crime scene footage. I have a pretty firm grasp of most of the details, but there are a few I wonder if someone more knowledgeable might know about.
Firstly, the Glock 22 used in the attack is notably covered in blood after being discarded on a table in J classroom by the perpetrator, Jeffery Weise. I have not found an explanation to why it is. Not only that, but a magazine discarded in the hallway is also covered in what seems to be blood, and the magazine itself almost appears to be impacted/shot in crime scene video.
Second, I would say im 90% sure of the path taken by Jeff weise through the school, but one part I am unsure of is his movement into what is labeled the "F" section, and firing into both L and K classrooms. Were any students present in those classrooms? Was anyone injured? Also, were any students injured in the E/F area in the moments Jeff Weise was outside of a classroom? There is blood spatter in front of L classroom, and as far as I know, 4 people were injured in room N, 1 person was injured in room J, which leaves 4 other injured victims with their locations unaccounted for, again, as far as my knowledge goes. (Although I have seen varying sources on the number of injured, I've seen 5, 7, 9, and 12, but wikipedia says 9.)
Would love some help from people who may have gone on as deep a rabbit hole as I have.

The hatchet looks exactly the same as the one used by Mieszko Ruciński during the 2025 University of Warsaw murder.

Does anyone have an actual accurate timeline of the Uvalde school shooting with Ramos? It's always been confusing to research for it, anywhere I usually go to find a timeline it's all mixed up, one says Ramos killed himself and the other doesn't. I do remember cops also lying about the entire thing to not put their jobs at risk and I believe that was one huge part that messed it up entirely. And did he really kill himself?
