An investigation published by Ouest-France on Monday, June 1, revealed the existence of an account on a Catholic forum, named “Epsilon,” which may have been used by Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès until 2017 in Nantes. Stylometric analyses conducted on 6,500 profiles link this account to the fugitive, who has been wanted since the 2011 murders of his family.

Fifteen years after Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès disappeared, one of France’s greatest criminal mysteries continues to generate new leads. In an investigation published this Monday, June 1, Ouest-France reported that it had identified a user account on a Catholic forum that may have been used by the father long after his disappearance in 2011.

It was already known that Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès actively participated in discussions on the website “cite-catholique.org” under the usernames “Chevy” and later “LIGO.” The latter account posted its final messages only a few days after the bodies of his wife and four children were discovered in Nantes.

However, according to the newspaper, a third profile has now caught the attention of researchers and followers of the case. Named “Epsilon,” this account continued posting messages until 2017—six years after the fugitive vanished.

To reach this conclusion, the journalists relied on stylometry, a method of analysis that compares an author’s writing habits. Syntax, vocabulary, punctuation, recurring expressions, and argumentative style are examined to measure similarities between texts.

The similarities between the “Chevy,” “LIGO,” and “Epsilon” accounts are said to be particularly striking. The newspaper also states that it compared these posts with private writings found in the investigation file.

Among the similarities identified were identical turns of phrase, the repeated use of expressions such as “Q.E.D.” and “Non-exhaustive list,” as well as a highly distinctive punctuation style featuring multiple question marks and exclamation marks.

Another detail has drawn particular attention. According to the newspaper, a handwritten letter written by Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès in 2008 discussed alleged contradictions in the Bible concerning three kings of the Old Testament: Baasha, Jehoiachin, and Ahaziah.

Yet, just weeks before the Nantes murders, the “Epsilon” account had published several messages devoted specifically to these same three biblical figures. According to Ouest-France, no other member of the forum had addressed this highly specific topic.

In total, more than 6,500 accounts were examined on the platform. According to the newspaper’s conclusions, no other profile showed such a high level of convergence with writings attributed to Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès.

But in a case where no confirmed trace of Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès has been found since 2011, this new lead is likely to reignite speculation that the fugitive may have remained alive long after his disappearance.

Alors qu'en pensez vous ???

Salut tout le monde,

J'ai longtemps cru à la thèse d'un XDDL toujours en vie. Cependant au fil du temps, je penche plus pour le suicide et le corps non retrouvé.

Car a vrai dire, sachant que XDDL n'avais pas ou pas beaucoup de fric, qui hébergerait cet homme pendant autant d'années gratos sans aucune contrepartie ?

Par exemple aux USA, il y a des gens qui ne sont pas recherchés pas la police, mais qui ayant mouillés dans des affaires pourries (drogue, gang, argent), se retrouvent avec une cible sur le dos et sont contraint de quitter leurs Etats.

Certains trouvent refuge dans des ranchs isolés pour se faire discret et changer de vie. Ils sont nourris, logés. Mais aucun proprio de ranch ne fait ça gratos pour le plaisir. L'intérêt qu'il y voit est d'avoir un homme ou une femme à tout faire à disposition 7/7 pour son ranch.

"Je te loge, je te nourri, je parle de toi à personne en ville, mais tout les matins tu te lève à 5H pour t'occuper des bêtes, du champ, etc...".

Mais accueillir quelqu'un comme XDDL, ça apporterait quoi à une communauté, même sectaire ? Il passe le balais tout les jours et sert le petit dej à tout le monde depuis 15 ans ? J'y crois 0 seconde.

Qu'est-ce qu'il pourrait avoir à apporter au sein d'un communauté pendant autant de temps ?
