Princess Diana’s tragic car crash in Paris remains as shocking and mysterious as the day we lost the Princess of Wales back in 1997. It has long been believed that the accident was due to the negligence of Henri Paul, Diana’s driver, who was found to be inebriated while under the influence of prescription drugs.

In the advent of her 22nd death anniversary, former homicide detective Colin McLaren speaks about the circumstances of Diana’s death. He reveals in an interview that the police’s findings leave much to be desired and why he thinks her case must be reopened.

McLaren states that there is more to the accident than the authorities say. He postulates that beyond Paul’s state of mind contributing to the accident, there may have been a third party involved. “Over the years I kept pushing for answers, asking the French authorities for further and better particulars,” he said.

In his upcoming book “Diana: Case Solved,” McLaren and co-author Dylan Howard reportedly spoke to Le Van Than, the paparazzo allegedly tailing Diana’s car at that time. If rumors are to be believed, the paparazzo’s white Fiat Uno clipped the princess’ car, ultimately causing the accident. Despite this implicating confession, French authorities have reportedly no records of the said fender-bender.

“My perseverance paid off when I was invited to the forensic laboratory and met the man that inspected my key suspects’ Fiat Uno,” continued McLaren. “To my utter disbelief, I was told the expert failed to properly inspect the Fiat for damage along the left side of his car. Damage that I knew was there.”

What McLaren realized was that the French police were not being inefficient. Rather, they were covering up the truth. He reasoned that the French police possibly didn’t want it made public that a French local caused the death of Lady Diana.

“Another key thing the driver of the Fiat told me was that the French cops encouraged him not to assist the investigation,” he revealed. “For this reason alone, and for closure for the billions of people that want transparent answers, the case of how Diana died must be reopened.”
