4-year-old girl found alive after hiding under corpses for 8 hours in French Alps

Immobilized with fear, a 4-year-old British girl huddled for eight hours beneath the legs of her slain mother in a car filled with corpses on a remote Alpine road -- all while French investigators stood nearby, unaware she was there, foxnews reports.
The stunning discovery Thursday of the girl, apparently unharmed, heightened the drama around a mysterious shooting rampage that left four adults dead and a 7-year-old girl hospitalized with bullet wounds and skull fractures in the French Alps.
The reason for the slayings, in a wooded area near the eastern village of Chevaline, remains unclear.
All the bodies were found in or near a BMW that prosecutors say belonged to a British family vacationing at a campground on the shores of Lake Annecy, a popular retreat in the French Alps. The owners of the campground told investigators the victims included two parents and a grandmother.
French authorities struggled to explain why the 4-year-old wasn't discovered earlier and was left for hours alone in the back seat of a car with the corpses.
Police arrived on Wednesday to find a man's body in the front seat and two women in the back, and another dead man near a bicycle with no known ties to the other victims nearby. That fourth victim was a French cyclist who apparently stumbled across the grisly scene, police said.
