Incident

In 1967, Gion Caviezel was arrested after the discovery of the body of a 21-year-old Alsatian woman, Evelyne North, who was his girlfriend; the young woman was stabbed and shot near her home in Molsheim, west of Strasbourg. Caviezel's business card was found in the woman's house; the police released him soon after because there was no evidence against him.

He married Maria Felicitas Frank in May 1973 and had two daughters, Flurina Christina and Barbara.
