Laetitia Toureaux (Laetitia Nourrissat Toureaux) was an Italian woman who was the victim of a much publicized murder in Paris at the station metro Porte Dorée on 16 May 1937.
She was the first murder victim in Paris Métro. [1] [2] Police investigations claimed that the victim was leading a double life. [3] [4] The police found that her father went back in Italy and her entire family had relocated to France. They were part of large group of Italian immigrants coming to Paris in serach of work. [5]
This crime was widely discussed at the time: The interwar period generated multiple speculations involving the secret services and the hood.[6]
The investigation by the Commissioner Badin revealed that this young woman had a tumultuous life, working under a false name, frequently and discreetly visiting the Italian Embassy while taking[clarification needed] the dressing room of a seedy dance hall. The war came two years later and the case was finally discontinued.[7]
