The Sandra Bignet case: death at the supermarket | Enquêtes criminelles | W9

Creteil (Val-de-Marne), May 9 2019. It is still early morning when Sandra Bignet leaves home. On placement with a company selling ice cream, the 23-year-old student’s particular responsibility is doing the rounds of the region’s supermarkets in order to place her products. Between two visits, Sandra messages her family. Everything appears to be going well. However, this is the last living trace of her, because the young woman will mysteriously disappear.

A real pillar of the family, Sandra would never have left without warning. Her family, wild with anxiety, decides to mount a search for her. Her mother and sister’s intuition is that the student’s early morning work is the key to her disappearance. So, they go to the various addresses visited by Sandra just before she disappeared into thin air. And, unknown to them, they will come face to face with the presumed killer!

In Quincy-sous-Senart, one supermarket employee will not leave a very favourable impression on Sandra’s mother and sister. Just the opposite. The surly fellow denies that the student came by that day. Then he refuses to allow the two women to view the security camera footage. Reluctantly, he merely agrees to their posting a missing person’s notice on the window. The most terrible thing is that, at that very moment, Sandra may have been just yards away… her lifeless body dumped in the store’s refrigeration room.

So, by offering such a hostile reception to the victim’s family, was the supermarket employee seeking to allay suspicion? And, in that case, why would he have attacked the trainee sales woman who was just doing her job?
