Incident
In 1967, Gion Caviezel was arrested after the discovery of the body of a 21-year-old Alsatian woman, Evelyne North, who was his girlfriend; the young woman was stabbed and shot near her home in Molsheim, 26 km west of Strasbourg. Caviezel's business card was found in the woman's house; the police released him soon after because there was no evidence against him.
