I was told by a French detective that they let it go because they couldn't see how it could have been done, but perhaps this changes things on that front.

I'm not saying that anything like that happened of course, merely that it throws a bit of a spanner into the works as far as ruling out foul play is concerned .
Were you discussing the case with a French detective involved in the Sala investigation - or some other French detective with no direct connection, but a detailed understanding of the police decision-making processes?
