Disney+ Drama Revives Perpignan Station Case as Investigators Renew Witness Appeal

Public attention turns to Tatiana Andújar’s unresolved 1995 disappearance following DNA-led resolutions in the other cases.

Overview

  • The six-episode series Les Disparues de la gare launches on Disney+ today, with Tatiana Andújar’s family participating in its creation.
  • France’s Nanterre cold-case unit issued a fresh appeal in September seeking witnesses in Andújar’s 1995 disappearance near Perpignan station.
  • Between 1995 and 2001, four young women were targeted in the same area: Andújar vanished, two women were murdered in 1997 and 1998, and another was abducted in 2001.
  • Investigators now attribute the solved killings to two perpetrators after moving away from an early single-serial-killer hypothesis.
  • Marc Delpech was sentenced in 2004 for the abduction, rape and murder of Fatima Idrahou and released in 2022, while Jacques Rançon was identified in 2014 and received a life sentence in 2018 for two murders after DNA advances enabled the breakthroughs.
