Biography
[edit]Family
[edit]Patricia Tourancheau was born in Chantonnay, Vendée. Her father ran a transportation business. Early on, she showed talent for writing. She was a member of the French scouting organization "Éclaireuses Éclaireurs de France."[3][4]
Career
[edit]She studied at the Bordeaux Journalism Institute (IUT) from 1984 to 1985. Starting in 1990, she worked for twenty-nine years at Libération as a reporter specializing in criminal cases and general news. She investigated cold cases, unsolved criminal cases deeply rooted in collective memory. She notably followed the Guy Georges case and the Rey-Maupin case for the newspaper. She was the first journalist authorized to spend twelve days immersed in the criminal investigation unit. She built many sources within the police and judiciary sectors.[5][6][7]
The film SK1 (2014) was based in part on her book Guy Georges: La traque.[8]
In 2015, she joined the weekly magazine L'Obs.
In 2018, she wrote an essay on the Grégory case, which she had been covering as a journalist since its beginning in 1984. A year later, she directed a documentary series on the same case for Netflix.[9]
In 2019, she published the book Le Magot, investigating the link between serial killer Michel Fourniret and the "Postiches" gang, a connection she had previously revealed in Libération. In 2022, she published an investigative book on François Vérove, known as "Le Grêlé," a serial rapist and killer who was also a police officer.[10]
She has produced around a dozen documentaries on the police for France Télévisions and INA. More recently, she co-directed the Netflix documentary series Grégory and the film Les Femmes et l'Assassin about Guy Georges.[11]
Currently, she works as a journalist for Les Jours and L'Obs, and covers crime stories for radio shows (L'Heure du crime on RTL, Affaires sensibles on France Inter) and TV shows (C dans l'air, Le Monde en face, Faites entrer l’accusé, 13 h 15 le dimanche, Chroniques criminelles, Crimes).[12]
