Bi-Weekly French Crime Podcast
20th century case
In 1923, Pierre Quéméneur disappears on a trip to Paris with Guillaume Seznec to sell Cadillac cars left by the Americans after WWI to the USSR. His body is never found and follows a century of intrigue.
Hairy hands, Cadillacs, and murder.
Our 5th episode takes us to Paris before WWI. A gang, “La bande a Bonnot” terrorises Paris with their violent, often deadly, robberies.
Bonus this episode: a Sherlock Holmes connection.
For this 4th episode, we look at Landru, often considered the first French serial killer.
Landru is said to have killed at least 11 women, possibly 12, within a few years just after WWI.
This is our second episode. It covers the murder of Laetitia Toureaux, a 29 year old girl without any troubles, in the Paris subway in 1937.
Our first episode takes us to the Drome area, South of Lyon in the south East of France. A gang of rubbers-murderers terrorises the area. Their modus operandi: making people talk by burning their feet and legs in their own fireplace.
