...with a dozen police investigators into the empty, neon-lit Place de l'Alma tunnel. They converged on the spot where, just 30 days earlier, a black Mercedes S-280 had spun out of control and crashed headlong into the tunnel's 13th support pillar, killing Diana, her companion Dodi Fayed and their driver, and injuring their bodyguard. Last Monday at 9:20 p.m., a flatbed truck backed slowly into the tunnel bearing the grotesquely gnarled black hulk that has etched itself into the world's collective consciousness as Diana's death car. With the help of a crane, workers...
...spectroscopic analysis of the paint samples taken from scratches on the Mercedes' right side showed that the paint could have come from a Fiat Uno. It may be another week before experts complete their analysis and confirm the results. But investigators were leaning toward the theory that Diana and Dodi's car may have sideswiped a smaller, slow-moving vehicle before careening out of control...

But when asked for details about the moments leading up to the accident itself...
THOMAS SANCTON, our Paris bureau chief, has been piecing together the whereabouts of Henri Paul, the Ritz Hotel deputy security chief, in the hours before Paul took the wheel of the car in which he, Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed were killed. Sancton and his staff interviewed dozens of people, from Paul's tennis partner to bartenders to reluctant employees at the Ritz. This week, teaming up with the CNN/TIME Impact show, which airs Sunday at 9 p.m. E.T., Sancton spoke with an eyewitness who comforted injured bodyguard Trevor Rees-Jones and made the first emergency call to police.
