French Intelligence

This is a ture story, it clearly displays the french intelligence. Judge it for yrself.

French police have worked out why they couldn't identify a murder victim. Frustrated detectives had been trying to identify the woman, said to have been in her 30s, for two years without success.

Her skeleton was found in December 2001 during an exceptionally low tide near the Brittany seaside town of Plouezoc'h.

Police reckoned a 14 cm gash to the skull suggested she had been bludgeoned to death with a hatchet or other sharp object.

Missing persons' files were consulted and DNA tests carried out to establish if the skeleton was that of a Normandy doctor who disappeared in 1999. All proved negative.

The mystery was solved last week only after radio carbon dating of the bones suggested the woman had died some time between 1401 and 1453.

She was declared as killed by pirates.
