Was Paparazzo Really Driving Car That Killed Diana? Podcast Investigates

The white Fiat Uno that crashed into Princess Diana’s Mercedes-Benz S280 and killed her was barely mentioned in the French police report, prompting former homicide detective Colin McLaren to take action.

Princess Diana Through the Years

In episode 9 of the podcast “Fatal Voyage: Diana Case Solved,” McLaren attempts to track down the Fiat as part of his investigation into the fateful night of August 31, 1997, which left 36-year-old Diana dead, as well as her companion, Dodi Fayed, and the driver of the Mercedes, Henri Paul. McLaren and his team of investigators question whether paparazzo Jean-Paul “James” Andanson was behind the wheel of the Fiat.

“The driver of the white Fiat, where he was and what had happened to that car was one of those ongoing mysteries that haunted [Diana’s death],” royal biographer Tina Brown notes in the “La Fiat Blanche” episode.

In addition to Andanson, French authorities investigated Le Van Thanh, who suspiciously painted his car red the day after the accident. Van Thanh was quickly ruled out as a suspect, but eyewitness Sabine Dauzonne claims on the podcast that she saw him as the driver of the white car in the tunnel that night.

The episode also looks into Andanson’s mysterious 2000 death, which was ultimately ruled a suicide.

“Andanson had a white Fiat, but Andanson mysteriously died before the British inquest and before he could be properly questioned,” former royal correspondent Michael D. Cole says. “He was found inside the locked car — one of his own locked cars — in the middle of an area which is used by the French military for training.”

Red Carpet Date! Sophia Bush and Grant Hughes Attend WHCA Dinner

Finding The One! Sophia Bush has kept her romance with Grant Hughes relatively private since the pair were first spotted together in Malibu in May 2020. However, the FocusMotion Health founder has shared a few photos of the couple. Ever since landing the role of Brooke Davis on One Tree Hill in 2003, Bush’s personal life has made headlines. That is something that the actress and activist has intentionally changed, she explained in June 2021. “It’s hard to have nothing that’s yours. And when you are a person who lives in the public eye, everybody wants to pick over everything and that can be really tricky,” the False Positive actress told Entertainment Tonight at the time. “I also grew up in the early aughts when girls were raked over the coals for any choices that they made. And I just was like, ‘I don’t think I like this.’ I didn’t like having my private life lied about. There were times where someone would send through an article and be like, ‘Well, supposedly you’re dating t...
