The Ogre of the Ardennes: Michel Fourniret’s Reign of Terror
A quiet road. A teenage girl walking home from school. A van pulls up… and she never makes it home.
Between 1987 and 2003, Michel Paul Fourniret — known as the Ogre of the Ardennes — and his wife Monique Olivier preyed on young girls and women across France and Belgium. Driven by a chilling obsession with virginity, the couple left a trail of shattered families and unresolved cases.
In this episode, Alexander Lawson examines the full scope of Fourniret’s crimes, the deadly partnership that enabled them, the investigation that finally stopped him, and the secrets he took to his grave.
