In 2007, a 36-year-old French man living in San Francisco was found dead in his apartment after a night out. Despite suffering multiple stab wounds and suspicious evidence being found at the scene, police believed it to be a suicide. Meanwhile, his family, friends, French authorities, and more felt it was a clear cut murder. This is the story of Hugues de la Plaza.
