But in the meantime, he wanted to speak to Helene's immediate family and friends and see if she had any enemies.

The way Frison saw it was, you know, Helene's daughter and son, who she was very close with, Sylvia and Gildo,

they would certainly know if there was anyone who wanted their mother dead.

But Friesan also knew that her children were not just potential sources of critical information, they were also suspects.

Friesan didn't have access to the details of Helene's estate,

But he knew enough about the family to guess that whatever inheritance Helene left behind was literally in the billions, which meant that her death would likely make both Sylvia and Gildo billionaires.

Now, Frison didn't think that either of them had actually pulled the trigger here.

But what Frison did think was that both of them definitely had the motive and the means to hire somebody else to do the shooting.

But Frison had one big problem.

Silvia and Gildo, and really all of the people he really wanted to speak to, lived in Monaco.

And since Frison and his team were French, and this crime had happened in France, they had no jurisdiction in Monaco.

So in order to speak to Helene's children and her inner circle, they couldn't just walk up and demand an interview.

Instead, they basically had to ask nicely.

The next morning, Frison sat in a very expensive-looking living room overlooking the beautiful Monaco Harbor.

Now, Frison had been up all night and was basically running on fumes at this point, but he hoped, you know, that was going to be worth it, because sitting across from him was Helene's daughter, Sylvia Pastore, and her 64-year-old boyfriend, Wojciech Janowski.

When Frison had reached out to Sylvia and Wojciech and asked them to speak with him...

One, he had been sort of surprised at how quickly they had agreed to do it.

But two, he sensed really not much emotion.

Like they were sort of cold and detached and sort of quick to be like, sure, you know, we'll meet up and chat with you about this as if it was just no big deal.

But now that he was face to face with them, I mean, it was clear that they were absolutely devastated.
