The Ogre Across the Border: Michel Fourniret in Belgium
June 26, 2003. A 13-year-old girl in Ciney, Belgium, is forced into a van — and escapes. That night ends the long hunt of Michel Fourniret, the so-called Ogre of the Ardennes.
Host Alexander Lawson traces the crimes Fourniret committed in and through Belgium: the abduction of 12-year-old Elisabeth Brichet from Saint-Servais; bodies left in the woods of Vresse-sur-Semois; the years he lived in Sart-Custinne and worked at a local school; the failed attacks in Namur and Gedinne; and the pact with Monique Olivier that let him cross the Franco-Belgian border for more than a decade.
