Searching for clues in the French Alps.

Investigators and journalists examine the site where the British family Saad al-Hilli and a local cyclist were murdered earlier in the week.

There are still more theories than facts says French journalist William Molinie.

(SOUNDBITE) (French) FRENCH JOURNALIST FROM NEWSPAPER 20 MINUTES, WILLIAM MOLINIE, SAYING:

"Everyone is writing lots of hypotheses, from car-jacking to terrorist acts. There are not enough elements to be able to come up with a hypothesis, to understand what went on."

Meanwhile in the UK British police search the family's home in the southern British county of Surrey.

The Iraqi-born al-Hilli was gunned down in his car alongside his wife and a woman some have identified as his mother in law.

The couple's four-year-old daughter lay undiscovered under her mother's corpse for eight hours after the murders. Her seven-year-old sister remains in a medically induced coma after being shot and beaten.
