Murder in the Dordogne: A Case of Delayed Justice A 70 year old woman has been charged with murder in connection with the death of British expat Karen Carter, nearly a year after the crime was committed.
The case raises questions about the handling of investigations and the role of tabloid speculation in clouding justice. The initial arrest and release of a 69 year old local woman were significant missteps.
She was released without charge shortly after her arrest, suggesting that authorities may have been under pressure to act quickly but not thoroughly enough.
