The Troadec family murders, sometimes called the Troadec case (French: Affaire Troadec) or the Orvault missing persons case, was a case of multiple homicide that occurred on the night of 16 February 2017, which involved the four members of the Troadec family in Orvault, a town in the Nantes metropolitan area, in France. On 23 February, Brigitte Troadec's sister, worried about the lack of news from her sister, alerted the police of their disappearances. Inside the family home, traces of blood were found, triggering a criminal investigation. On 5 March, Hubert Caouissin was taken into custody along with his partner after his DNA was found at the crime scene. The following day, he confessed to the murder of the four members of the Troadec family and was charged with murder. The bodies of the family were discovered at Caouissin's farm on 8 March. They had been bludgeoned to death with a crowbar. At the time of the disappearances, the case received significant media attention due to its geographical proximity and similarities with the Dupont de Ligonnès case as only four kilometres separate the two crime scenes. The crime involved a disagreement regarding the inheritance of gold bars within the family, the existence of which was disputed. On 7 July 2021, Hubert Caouissin was found guilty of the quadruple murder of Pascal, Brigitte, Sébastien, and Charlotte Troadec. He was sentenced to 30 years in prison. Lydie Troadec, his partner, was found guilty of concealing corpses and tampering with the crime scene. She was sentenced to three years in prison, one of which was suspended.
