The news shook social media on April 18: blogger Aqababe, known for his juicy revelations about reality TV, announced that he’s diving into one of France's most mysterious criminal cases. Headed to Malta, he's on the trail of Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès, the main suspect in the 2011 murder of his family in Nantes, who has vanished without a trace since then.

From Reality TV to True Crime

Aniss Zitouni, also known as Aqababe, built his fame on scoops and drama from reality TV. But today, he’s making a radical shift. Inspired, as he says, by the growing interest in cold cases and participatory investigations, he has decided to use his flair and network to tackle an unsolved case that has been around for 14 years.

A 2.0 Action Plan

With the support of his followers – whom he affectionately calls his “chipies” – the blogger is going all out. Using anonymous testimonies received via Instagram and email, he claims to have gotten tips suggesting XDDL was recently spotted in Malta, specifically on the island of Gozo.
“I was given an address, specific details. I’m going over there to see if it’s all a bluff or if there’s something real,” he shares with his community. He even created a dedicated Instagram channel, which has already garnered over 95,000 followers!

Yes, to share their discoveries, their doubts, and even their slightest movements.

A Journey Between Serious and Sensational

Is this a genuine quest for truth or just another communication stunt? It's hard to say. Aqababe intentionally keeps a bit of mystery alive, dancing between a cheeky attitude and a sincere obsession with the case. This intentional blur sparks curiosity and boosts the audience of this modern saga.

A Case Still Unsolved

Just to remind you, Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès is suspected of having murdered his wife and four children between April 3 and 6, 2011. Since his last appearance on April 15 of that same year in Roquebrune-sur-Argens in Var, the man has been nowhere to be found. His flight has fueled fantasies, documentaries, and the wildest speculations for over a decade.


A New Era for Popular Investigations?

Whether you're on board with the Aqababe method or not, one thing's for sure: social media and community engagement are changing the way we track – and sometimes revive – major unresolved cases. Even if this approach doesn't solve the mystery, it has certainly put the name XDDL back in the spotlight, and who knows, it might one day bring another piece to the puzzle.
