It is suspected than she was killed by a lawyer,
Jean-Maurice Agnelet, whom
she was having an affair with. In June 1977, the lawyer convinced her to sell her shares of the casino to the owner of a concurrent casino. Agnes Le Roux received about 3 million Francs for the transaction, the money ended up in a common account she shared with the lawyer, then in one of his personal bank account after Agnes' disappearance.
The day she disappeared Agnes left in her white Range Rover bearing license plates 726 BEZ 75 . She was to spend the weekend with the lawyer in Italy. Her car was never located.
