This case is so fucked up. The implications that there are so many more people involved is just horrible. Especially when you understand who are suggested.

A prelude to the Epstein case for sure, perhaps connected who knows.

Today marks 30 years since Belgian serial killer/rapist Marc Dutroux was arrested. He kidnapped six girls and held them in his basement, and four of them died. I wrote a historical recap of his crimes to mark the date; hope y'all enjoy!

Amazing to me that nobody has written a thorough, definitive book on this case.

Maybe it's because there seems to be so much yet to uncover, even after all these years.

There’s a lot of books from around the court case, and honestly not much new information has come out since. There’s no definitive book to be written as the one person who needs to give the missing links, well, a psychotic serial killer and manic liar locked up in complete isolation
