Lea Papin was released from prison in 1941. She then lived in the town of Nantes, where she was joined by her mother. She was thought to have died in 1982, but this was questioned in 2000 by the French filmmaker, Claude Ventura. Ventura made a documentary film, En quête des soeurs Papin (In Search of the Papin Sisters) in which he claimed to have found Lea alive in a hospice somewhere in France. She was partly paralysed as the result of a stroke and could not speak, though she was shown in the film. This Lea died in 2001. It is not known if Ventura had documentation to prove the identity of his Lea.
