INFAMOUS: Sophie Lionnet
When the burned body of a young au-pair is found in her employer’s garden, police immediately arrest them on suspicion of murder. Through the killer’s own video footage, police learn not only was this young woman brutally murdered – she was tortured and starved for months before her death. As the terrifying truth unravels during the investigation, the motive becomes clear. And it is even more twisted than anyone could have imagine.
