He was there to talk about Patrick.
Marc described his brother as this hardworking father who never seemed to catch a break in life and who at the very least deserved justice.
And at the end, he put out a simple plea for anyone with information to please come forward.
When the show ended, Verrier did not really feel worried anymore that anything that had been revealed on the show was sensitive or that it could negatively impact the actual investigation.
But he also knew that, you know, the impact the show was going to have was probably gonna be pretty small.
Like, he didn't expect anything to come of this plea for help from the public.
However, he would be wrong, because the next morning, Verrier's phone would ring.
And an hour after that call came in, Verriere was ringing the doorbell of an apartment building in Lunel, which is a town close to set.
A woman would answer the door, and when Verriere flashed his badge, she invited him inside.
The woman, whose name was Sophie, had reached out to the police after watching Mark's interview on TV, saying she did have information about Patrick's case.
And so Verriere followed her into her kitchen, and he sat down across the table from her, and he turned on his recorder, and he told her to just start from the beginning.
And the moment the story began to spell out, Barriere knew he'd solved the case.
Based on the evidence collected at the crime scene and witness testimony, the following is a reconstruction of what police believe happened to Patrik Izwar on the afternoon of Monday, June 23, 2014.
At 4.30 p.m., the killer stood on a rocky hill overlooking a park and set, watching through a pair of binoculars while Patrick and Audrey walked hand-in-hand down a paved path below.
The couple was taking their time, clearly enjoying the scenery and each other's company.
And then at some point, Audrey stopped and pointed across the road at a cave in the nearby cliffs, the entrance to a cave.
And when the killer saw this, their heart began to race, and they watched intently as the couple actually crossed the road and went into the cave and vanished.
At this point, the killer lowered their binoculars and put them inside of the large duffel bag they had brought with them.
Then, after slinging this bag, they hustled down the hill and went right to the entrance of the cave.
When they reached the entrance to the cave, they stopped and they put that bag on the ground.
