Daily Mail unearths important background info on Alps Massacre family

From The Daily Mail:

* Family owned crumbing house in village some 30 miles from Bordeaux
* Find proves Mr Al-Hilli had investment interests in the country
* He had been 'planning to create a small apartment in order to rent it'

Until now, French detectives assumed that Mr Al-Hilli’s 1 million pounds plus family home in Clayton, Surrey, was their sole residence.

Because when solving a crime, the number of houses people own, what they are worth and so on is usually vital evidence. No doubt the French police will also be able to build up a profile of the killer or killers, work out what sort of house or flat they own or rent, and that will narrow down the search enormously.
