Episode notes
Matriarch's Daily Routine
- Helene Pastor spent her days hands-on managing a multi-billion dollar Monaco real-estate empire and checking on her sick children.
- She left her office to visit her hospitalized son, accompanied by longtime driver Mohamed and her dog Belle.
Unexpected Ambush Outside Hospital
- While exiting the hospital parking lot, a jogger approached and fired twice into Helene's minivan, striking Helene and Mohamed in the head.
- Witnesses reported two shooters who then melted back into the crowd.
Weapon Choice Suggested Amateur Hit
- The shotgun blast pattern and full‑length wounds suggested an amateur hit rather than a professional assassination.
- MrBallen highlights that a shotgun is an unlikely weapon for a sophisticated hired killer because it attracts attention and is unwieldy in public.
