750:, he had only been in the position for a month. The investigation ultimately concluded that the two members of the group had killed the others and then themselves. This theory was reconstructed with animal remains and was agreed to be conclusive. They concluded that there was no external involvement in the massacre on the grounds of a lack of evidence. Fontaine's investigation was criticized at the time due to this decision. The investigation was done with limited resources, and Fontaine was not relieved of his other cases while investigating, which displeased the civil parties in the case. Some believed in outside involvement, particularly Alain Leclerc, the lawyer for several of the civil parties in the case, and the relatives of several of the victims, who believed that the actual perpetrators had escaped and had never been caught. On 17 November 1998, investigating judge Luc Fontaine presented the conclusions of his inquiry into the massacre. 575:Édith Vuarnet would withdraw 10,000 Swiss francs from a bank, immediately exchanging them for French francs. She was later picked up in a nightclub parking lot on the border of France and Switzerland, where her car was found abandoned. Her son would call Jean Vuarnet at 9:30 p.m. to ask where she was. At the time he was in Switzerland. The couple that survived was told that due to a setback the evening meeting was cancelled; they were possibly viewed by Bonet as not ready for the transit. According to one of them, her voice seemed normal and "cheerful" on the phone. At 9:50 p.m. Friedli would call Bonet a final time. He may have been the one responsible for picking up Vuarnet. By shortly after 10 p.m. most had left Geneva and all would arrive at the French village of Saint-Pierre-de-Chérennes in the 967:
case was preventable, he said that "othing, absolutely nothing, suggested that anyone would take up the torch and organize such a tragedy". This was disputed by Huguenin, who had previously alerted the police. Piller argued they had been investigating those killed in the transit, saying that many of those killed had been wiretapped or interrogated for many hours, and that nothing they had seen gave any concrete sign of a new transit; he said that Huguenin had not been able to give them any solid clues. At the same time the Geneva chief of police stated the opposite, claiming that they had no right to monitor anyone and that they had not monitored anyone in the Solar Temple. In a radio interview several months later, Piller stated that he had not had any responsibility in the deaths.
1033:, said he was still haunted by the case. He stated of the investigation that: "I sometimes think: shouldn't we have gone deeper into this aspect, or tried to emphasize another? But in this case, each door was followed by a corridor leading to 60 other doors! And the more doors we opened, the further we got from the heart of the case. An examining magistrate is not a historian or a specialist in occult movements." Fontaine defended his investigation's ruling that there was no outside involvement, saying there was no strong evidence that this had happened. He did however acknowledge that it was not impossible. According to him, there had been two "intellectually plausible" theories, either that "the group set up and executed its project based on its esoteric ideology", or that the 819: 917:
the dead was intact and showed no trace of fire. The civil party then asked for counter-expertise and questioned the theory of mass suicide. The plaintiffs, led by Alain Vuarnet, hoped to prove that Fontaine's investigation had been mistaken, and that the followers had actually been murdered by outside forces. At their request, forensics expert Gilbert Lavoué was asked to extract traces of phosphorus from the victims' exhumed remains (the test was requested to be conducted by the court, but this was rejected so it was done privately). The bodies were found to contain excess phosphorus, which Alain Vuarnet claimed was a sign that they had actually been executed with a
384:, 53 members of the OTS died in Switzerland and Canada, including both Di Mambro and Jouret. Many members of the group did not commit mass suicide, but were murdered in this incident. Following the deaths, the group gained worldwide notoriety. It was publicly believed that the group had disbanded, however, this was not completely true, as remnants would live on. Prior to their deaths, the group had mailed a final letter containing their message to the world. In the final testament letter, it is expressed that the departed members of the OTS would welcome any member who was "worthy" of joining them in the afterlife. An excerpt from this testament included: 476:, every Tuesday and Friday evening. Four members of these sessions would not die in the 1995 transit; according to these survivors, the new OTS had no structure and no individual leader. Members would meditate, though there was no strict practice. Sessions conducted in this second iteration were similar to those held by Di Mambro prior to the founding of the OTS. They would also discuss their dreams, and messages received "from the beyond" by members. One of these messages told the members that they would not be left to "live through a third world war", and that instead someone would come and get them prior. Messages were generally vague. 1012:
continuing activities, this rear guard activated and killed them, "to put a complete end to the group"; he claimed the Vercors group had not resisted as this was necessary "to get to Sirius". Thierry Huguenin believed that Di Mambro had left behind instructions for the second transit to some members of the group, one of which was Bonet, saying that "I am convinced that he left a will, verbal or written, for this second journey. I knew the man too well. He was so Machiavellian." The role of French police officers in the case lead some to believe that they were a sign of infiltration or outside manipulation of the OTS.

On the tenth day, the prosecutor demanded 5 years' imprisonment for Tabachnik's alleged role in the conditioning of the Temple's followers. The prosecutors said that Tabachnik's participated in two key meetings only a few weeks before the first massacres, what would be the last meetings, where the end of the Order and its replacement by an organization called ARC (Alliance Rose Croix) was announced, was a sign of wrongdoing.

Shortly after the bodies were discovered, Grenoble's public prosecutor Jean-François Lorans opened a judicial investigation into "murder and criminal association". He stated that "We consider that the circumstances in which these murders were committed imply a degree of preparation, deliberation and premeditation that fall within the notion of organized crime. We are dealing with a real criminal organization."

Both men had been in Switzerland during the first transits, likely the people inside the car that had escaped from the Cheiry farm the day prior; Lardanchet was afraid that he was going to be prosecuted as the perpetrator of the Swiss massacres. Both men were called as witnesses in the trials in early 1995. While being investigated, Lardanchet claimed that he was not an OTS member. As no charges were ever filed he was allowed to continue his job. Also among the continued members were 559:
end of time, the times that were assigned to me on Earth are REVOLVED and I freely and voluntarily return to where I was from, to the dawn of time! It's difficult for earthlings to understand such a choice, such a gesture, to voluntarily put down their earthly vehicle! So it is with all those who carry light and cosmic consciousness, who know where they're going! May human consciousness become ever more open and subtly enriched by such an experience! The work is done, and we bring back with us the quintessence of a rich experience on planet Earth.
792:. Prior Swiss investigations had not established any connection between Tabachnik and the 1994 deaths; his own wife died in the earlier massacre. At the time of the investigation, due to the death of the two leaders in Salvan in 1994, Tabachnik was the only defendant in the case. Fontaine considered that Tabachnik, through his writings and his conferences, could have incited followers to commit suicide. He was therefore charged with participation in a criminal conspiracy to commit a crime. Fontaine placed him under examination on 12 June 1996 for 409:; journalist Arnaud BĂ©dat described her as "a fanatic", "totally committed to the cult's ideology". Bonet had actually been a later arrival to the OTS than most of the members to die in the 1994 transit, joining in 1989. One of her friends claimed that the day Bonet joined the OTS, Bonet said to her "well, I hope we haven't joined a cult." She would later donate a 100,000 Swiss franc inheritance she received to the group, as well as her whole salary of 8,000 francs; she would not ask questions and did not express doubt of the order. 546:

Thierry Huguenin's personal theory was that only four of the members knew of the plans for death, and that the others thought the Vercors trip was instead to encounter supernatural phenomena in which they would see Di Mambro materialize, which he viewed as the only thing that would have attracted them all to one place. The future transit was intended to bring them to the star

The circumstances leading to the deaths were very similar to the initial 1994 transit; all of the victims were Solar Temple members or their relatives, most of them had been drugged with sedatives, and they had gunshot wounds. Investigators concluded that of the sixteen dead, at least four had not died willingly. Half the dead were French, and the other half were Swiss. 413:
interviewed by the Swiss police the day after the transits, she acted "cold, distant, and contemptuous", denying she had known anything beforehand, saying the phone calls had been to "not dramatize the situation". She did however say that Jouret had called her the day prior to the transits, but described this call as one in which Jouret had "wanted to convey a lot of joy to me". In reality, according to his phone records, Jouret had called her eight times and had twice signaled her on her
