I seriously doubt her past and present lovers were one and the same. Her deceased lover was married, while the present one couldn't keep a relationship once his dates learned of his jailbird past. It may be an error of translation, but in the version I watched, Maria speculates that it was people who owed <i>Petur</i> money. I agree it was quite mysterious, but it's not a film that ties up everything neatly. I completely understand, since it is also fading from my memory, but I seem to recall that the cop had victimised the fellow who broke into his house years ago, when the interloper was just a lad. It might be a challenge for the one who walked down the road to find alternative transportation: it looked like they were in the middle of nowhere. Perhaps not a compelling reason when weighed against all the trouble they got into, but it might have carried some weight in the heat of the moment. No way to know in advance, but it wouldn't have to be through the press. It would be enough for their spouses to get wind that they are wanted for questioning about an accident far from their homes and even farther from Paris.
