THE TRAVAGLINI CASE : TWO WOMEN FOR ONE MAN | Enquêtes criminelles | W9

Jessy Travaglini, aged 28, had the name and the body of a Hollywood star. This young mother, married to a highly respected rugby coach in the Carpentras region, had everything required for success. And yet, for the last three years, this HR manager has had the accusation of a terrible crime hanging over her head: the murder of another mother, Eloïse Bagnoli, 30. Eloïse was reported missing on October 11 2013 by her husband, Alain. That day, Eloïse had sent Alain a text to say that, exceptionally, she couldn’t pick up their child from school. When Alain returns home, anxious, there’s no sign of Eloïse. Her things and her car have also gone. For the husband, it’s bewilderment: the couple appeared to be bathed in happiness and Eloïse would never have left without her little 3-year-old boy. An investigation is opened and the theory of a deliberate runaway is soon discarded: Eloïse’s blood is all over the floor and the showerhead is smashed. Where is Eloise? What happened to her? Very quickly, the case takes on the aspect of a crime of passion because the grieving widower has not told it all. Actually, this executive was in an extramarital affair with a work colleague, one Jessy Travaglini. Was this young HR manager an ambitious man-eater, who couldn’t stand competition”, as some colleagues at work describe her? Could she have got rid of her rival? It all points that way… However, one thing doesn’t seem quite right! If Jessy Travaglini really did commit this crime, how was this young woman of 53 kilos able to act alone?”
