In the south of France, lies Lake Boncalie. A picturesque reservoir, some 60 miles
00:00:10
northeast of Toulouse. It's a very, very large expanse of water in quite a remote location up in the
00:00:32
hills. Miles from any habitation. It's a very beautiful location. Place very
00:00:51
in the middle of nowhere. It was nobody going in fact, only fishing men. But in 2001,
00:01:02
this tranquil beauty spot revealed a terrible secret. There had been a notable drought for a
00:01:14
very long period that summer. The levels of water in the lake had dropped over 30 ft.
00:01:28
There is something walking around here. We will see the top of the car. Somebody sees the top from this way,
00:01:37
walking on this way. And he calls the police. The discovery of a sunken car brought
00:01:43
French military police, the gendarme, to the lake. They were immediately suspicious.
00:01:50
The only reason to go with a car in this way is to put the car in the lake. I don't see
00:01:59
you have to go this way if you don't want to hide a car. There is no house around. Nobody can see
00:02:06
the car when he is come here. We send local police team, local gendarmerie team to look which car is it.
00:02:14
And we have the description of the red car. The car was a rusted 4x4 Toyota Land
00:02:22
Cruiser. It had clearly been in the lake for some time. But what had happened to the driver?
