Swiss investigators have identified the badly burned body of Luc Jouret — the big cheese in the Order of the Solar Temple cult whose 50 plus members were found dead in Switzerland and Canada last week. Jouret’s whereabouts had so far been unknown and police even had a warrant out for his arrest for murdering some of his followers. Police did, however, nab another suspected cult member: Patrick Vuarnet, the son of the French skiing champion Jean Vuarnet, who won the 1960 Olympic downhill and now heads the upscale eyeglass company. He was taken into custody in connection with the deaths, Swiss authorities told the Associated Press.
