...report had Dodi thrown from the car as well as robbed of money; another said a sapphire-and-diamond necklace was ripped from Diana's throat. Both are wrong. Police recovered a thousand francs from Dodi's body, which was jammed between the front two seats, his broken leg hanging at a 90[degree] angle. A pearl bracelet, a diamond ring--not the Repossi ring--and size-8 Versace black heels were recovered from Diana. Paul had 12,000 francs on his body...
...crashes," he said. From his apartment, he saw no motorbikes in the wake of the crash, though. Still, when the witness got to the crash site, he found photographers taking pictures and people starting to approach the wreck.

"This is the kind of situation that creates myth," he says exasperatedly. "[If she did speak], I would say it only to her family, her sons, her husband...
Police investigators say some witnesses report hearing Diana repeat, "Oh, my God." But the fervent silence of the most trustworthy witnesses has allowed myths to grow. Mohammed al Fayed claims that Diana's last "instructions" were relayed to him and that he in turn passed them on to Diana's sister Sarah. But neither he nor the Spencers are saying more. Last week the Paris daily Le Parisien quoted an unnamed doctor as saying Diana's last words, as an oxygen mask was put over her face, were "Leave me alone." But this "witness" is also the one who incorrectly...
