Weekly French Crime Podcast
What’s coming
Our 8th episode, researched by Melanie, looks at the vanishing on the 16th September 1890 of one of the most important, but not very well known, people in the history of cinema : Louis Le Prince, the inventor of the movie camera.
Our 7th episode will take us to Le Mans (that of the 24 hours) in 1933. Two sisters, Lea and Christine, murder their employers in the most gory and sadistic way.
Episode 6 will take us to Britany for one of the most famous murder stories in recent French history: the Seznec affair where Guillaume Seznec is accused of having killed Pierre Quéméneur, his business partner, and hidden his body.
Our 5th episode will take us to Paris where an infamous gang, “la bande à Bonnot”, aka Bonnot’s gang, murders and pillages the streets of Paris for a couple of years.
The gang is significant because they are the first ones to use cars in their crimes.
For that episode, we look at an infamous case in France: the Landru affair. Landru is considered the first French serial killer and is synonymous of pure Evil. Everybody has heard of it, but not many know what it really is about.
Our third episode will relate the story of the Red Inn, where up to 53 murders might have been committed in the first part of the 19th century.
Episode 2 will cover the murder in the Paris metro of Laetitia Toureaux. The crime is often dubbed “the perfect crime”.
Welcome to the Crime Most French podcast.
Our first case will be “Les Chauffeurs de la Drôme”, so called because they used to cook their victims’ feet to make them admit where their money was hidden.
