The Killer of Old Ladies: Claude Lastennet’s Reign of Terror in the Paris Suburbs
Between August 1993 and January 1994, a 22-year-old man quietly terrorized the suburbs south of Paris. Five elderly women were strangled in their own homes. One survived. The killer later admitted the blood excited him.
Host Alexander Lawson recounts the crimes of Claude Lastennet — the man French media called the “tueur de vieilles dames” — from his fractured childhood and psychiatric struggles to the bus-route pattern that finally led police to his door. A chilling true-crime story of vulnerability, impulse, and a tip that stopped a serial killer.
