New lead in Alps murder case as mystery camper linked to British family killings

A new lead has emerged in the 2012 murder case of the Al-Hilli family in the French Alps. Investigators are looking into a mystery camper, believed to be Danish, who was near the murder scene and another tourist murder site where a rare Swiss gun was used. The camper was at a campsite close to where the Al-Hilli family was killed and had left just before the incident. French police are now examining this connection as they reopen the investigation into the murders, which have remained unsolved for over a decade. The Al-Hilli family was shot in their car, and a cyclist was also killed during the attack. The weapon used was a Swiss-made semi-automatic pistol. Investigators suspect the killer may have military training due to the execution-style nature of the shootings.
