Andrew JohnstonCORRESPONDENT
How much credence do you give these conspiracy theories and why do you think they still resonate low 30 years later?

Karen BoylanHOST
he ended up bringing me down to the Curragh to teach me how to drive in the Bloomin' thing.
Karen BoylanHOST
So the first official car that I bought... you know, proper tax insurance, proper indicators that worked, lights, windscreen wipers, the whole lot, was a Fiat Uno.
Niall BoylanHOST
A Fiat Uno? Yeah, a little
Karen BoylanHOST
Fiat Uno.
Niall BoylanHOST
Yeah.
Karen BoylanHOST
And I have to tell you, the radiator burst in about three weeks after I bought it.
speaker_5HOST
But even if we entirely discount the strobe light and Tomlinson's blueprint, the physical forensic evidence at the crash scene points to another highly suspicious, tangible element.
speaker_4HOST
You mean the white Fiat Uno?
speaker_5HOST
Yes.
speaker_5HOST
This brings us to the cover-up, the mystery of the Fiat Uno, and one of the most bizarre deaths connected to this entire case.
speaker_4HOST
When forensic investigators meticulously examined the crumpled wreckage of the Mercedes S280, they found clear physical evidence that it did not crash alone.
speaker_5HOST
There were streaks of white paint transferred onto the right side of the Mercedes.
speaker_5HOST
and pieces of broken taillight glass on the road, indicating that Henri Paul had forcefully collided with a white Fiat Uno mere seconds before slamming into the concrete pillar.
speaker_4HOST
The hunt for the white Fiat Uno gave one of the largest automotive dragnets in French history.
Dan SnowNARRATOR
Fanning the flames, Mohammed Al-Fayed, owner of London's most famous store Harrods, has been tireless in his determination to uncover what or who really caused the deaths of his son and the world's most photographed woman.
Dan SnowNARRATOR
Will he or we ever find out the truth behind the mysterious white Fiat Uno, described by witnesses but never traced? Was it the paparazzi in the tunnel that night, or members of England's secret service MI6? We may never know, and while questions remain, the Place de l'Alma will continue to draw sightseers and fans, all eager to witness for themselves the spot where the 36-year-old Queen of Hearts met her tragic and untimely end.
Dan SnowNARRATOR
From the 13th of August, 1961 to the 9th of November, 1989, a thin stretch of land over 150 kilometers long was one of the most infamous spots in the world.
Dan SnowNARRATOR
It may have been made from concrete and barbed wire, but for 28 years, the Berlin Wall was the world's most visible symbol of the Iron Curtain, physically separating communism from democracy.
speaker_5HOST
The entrance has a sharp dip in a slight curve and the roadway is divided by exposed concrete pillars.
speaker_6HOST
As the Mercedes descends into the tunnel at over double the speed limit, it encounters slower moving traffic, specifically a white Fiat Uno.
speaker_6HOST
Henri Paul swerves to avoid it, but clips the left rear taillight of the Fiat.
speaker_5HOST
The collision destabilizes the heavy Mercedes.
StuartGUEST
Yeah, yeah
Will ChandlerHOST
... a Fiat Uno.
StuartGUEST
I remember seeing it at the show, because it was on, it was on the stand there, and I think it was revolving.
StuartGUEST
It sort, I'm sure it was on a stand that was moving around.
Darren MarlarHOST
multiple witnesses describe other vehicles buzzing around Diana's car as it sped towards the tunnel.
Darren MarlarHOST
There are reports of high-powered motorcycles encircling the car, and paint found on the crashed vehicle was forensically matched to a white Fiat Uno turbo, indicating a collision between them.
Darren MarlarHOST
No CCTV was available in the local area, and the vehicles have to this day never been identified.
Darren MarlarHOST
Unlike the paparazzi, who arrived after the crash and stayed at the scene taking photos, the drivers of these vehicles left the tunnel immediately.
Darren MarlarHOST
What role did they play in the crash and why did they flee the scene? One witness, Francois Lavistre, claimed to have seen a bright flash of light as a motorbike swerved in front of the Mercedes, causing it to lose control.
Darren MarlarHOST
Whilst an assassination scenario in this fashion may seem far-fetched, ex-MI6 intelligence officer Richard Tomlinson told the official inquest he had seen plans to kill Slobodan Milosevic in exactly this manner by staging a car crash using a powerful strobe light to disorient the driver.
Darren MarlarHOST
Forensic investigation of the crash site concluded a white Fiat Uno collided with Diana's car inside the tunnel, possibly causing the crash.
Darren MarlarHOST
Whilst none of the official investigations ever traced either the car or its owner, private investigators for Dodi Fayed's father claimed to have traced the car to a paparazzi called James Andenson, a millionaire photographer who had been following Diana all across Europe in the days leading up to the crash.
Eddie AragonHOST
Three questions to keep in your head.
Eddie AragonHOST
One, if she was so afraid of dying in a rigged car, why did she get in to that one that night? Two, as we'll discuss, who is driving that white Fiat Uno? Still unknown.
Eddie AragonHOST
Three, why can nobody explain Henri Paul's money? Now the last five weeks of all of this, and all leading up to this, you've seen where she's at in the popularity polls, and she's the world's queen, the most photographed woman, every tabloid, everything following her.
Eddie AragonHOST
The last month of her life, July, a yacht in the south of France with the Al-Fayed family.
Eddie AragonHOST
Chaos, frenzy.
Eddie AragonHOST
22 minutes past midnight, 60 to 100 people.
Eddie AragonHOST
And five meters before the mouth of the underpass, and before it, not inside it, the Mercedes makes contact with a white Fiat Uno.
Eddie AragonHOST
Paul overcorrects.
Elliott CaddyHOST
Operation Paget found no firm evidence of an engagement, but we don't know.
Elliott CaddyHOST
Then there was the white Fiat Uno, the vehicle that supposedly made contact with Diana's Mercedes and caused the car to lose control.
Elliott CaddyHOST
Forensic examination of the Mercedes found evidence that it had made contact with a white vehicle shortly before the main impact.
Elliott CaddyHOST
Paint and physical traces were consistent with a Fiat Uno manufactured during the 1980s.
Elliott CaddyHOST
Witnesses also described seeing a small white car near the tunnel.
Elliott CaddyHOST
This evidence was real evidence, not an invented conspiracy detail.
Elliott CaddyHOST
French investigators attempted to identify the vehicle and checked thousands of cars, but the exact fear was never conclusively found.
Elliott CaddyHOST
Or was it? The mystery attracted particular attention because French photographer James Andenson owned a white Fiat Uno and had previously photographed Diana.
