Listener discretion is advised. 6 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:29,120 Speaker 2: The True was a secondary figure. He was responsible for 7 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:33,120 Speaker 2: bringing drugs and girls at the parties. Nihoul was the boss. 8 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:35,000 Speaker 2: The True is more on the side. 9 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 3: These are the words of Regina Loof read by a translator. 10 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 3: When de True was arrested, she said that she recognized 11 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 3: his face on the news. She also recognized Michel Niehul, 12 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:52,280 Speaker 3: who was also arrested on suspicion of involvement. Regina Loof 13 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 3: claimed that she had been abused by Nihoul as a 14 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 3: young teenager and had witnessed terrible abuse of others at 15 00:00:58,160 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 3: his hands. 16 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 2: From the age of twelve. My grandmother forced me to 17 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 2: be a prostitute. I was brought to orgies. Everyone was 18 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 2: drinking a lot of alcohol. There are sometimes other children there. 19 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:15,400 Speaker 2: Nihul was very often there with his wife. I remember 20 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 2: Jean michel Nut as a very cruel man. He abused 21 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:24,320 Speaker 2: children in a very sadistic way. Sometimes during these parties, 22 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,319 Speaker 2: they would put us outside a large garden. The adults 23 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 2: would chase us, and whoever cut one of us could 24 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 2: do whatever they wanted. 25 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 4: I'm psychobat with somebody who understands emotions. 26 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 2: And I told them it is very exceptional that somebody 27 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 2: abducts two children at the same time. 28 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 4: Nineteen eighty six. But my gods, it was just a beginning. 29 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 4: I think Belgium was a paralyzed for perverts in those days. 30 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 3: Welcome to La Monstra. I'm your host, Matt Graves. You'll 31 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 3: recall that after the initial arrest of d True, his 32 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 3: wife Michelle Martin, and accomplice Michel Lelievre, there is another 33 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 3: arrest of a man named Michel Nihoul. The arrest of 34 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 3: Nihoul was the beginning of two narratives in this country 35 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,919 Speaker 3: which still persist today, one in which the True and 36 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 3: his accomplices were an isolated groove, and another in which 37 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:49,239 Speaker 3: the True was part of something much larger, a child's 38 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:54,239 Speaker 3: sex trafficking network. The isolated group narrative was widely accepted 39 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 3: by Belgian law enforcement and the mainstream media. However, there 40 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 3: are several disturbing facts that point to the narrative of 41 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 3: a larger child trafficking network with powerful connections. Michel Niehul, 42 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 3: with all of his power and influence, lies at the 43 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 3: heart of this second narrative. You recall that telephone records 44 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 3: showed that Nihoul had a flurry of phone calls with 45 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 3: both d'true and his accomplice le Lievre leading up to 46 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 3: the last disappearance of Letitia de LEAs, and that he 47 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 3: gave them about fifteen thousand dollars worth of ecstasy pills 48 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 3: on the day after she was kidnapped. During early interrogations, 49 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 3: da True and le Lievre spoke a lot about Nihoul. 50 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 3: They said he was a hustler with a lot of 51 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 3: influence who organized orgies. Dtrue said that Nihoul told him 52 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 3: that sadomasochist orgies were the most profitable, and that Nihoul 53 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 3: was a fervent satamassachist himself. It was an open secret 54 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 3: that Nihoul regularly organized orgies, even people close to him, 55 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 3: and in fact, his own lawyer admitted that Nihoul frequently 56 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 3: participated in secret sex parties. He described himself as a 57 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 3: man of all seasons and was the consummate networker involved 58 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 3: in both business and politics. From various business ventures to 59 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 3: public relations to political campaign consulting, Nihoul was a man 60 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 3: of influence, with connections across the spectrum. He even had 61 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 3: his own radio show in Brussels. Several people close to 62 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 3: Nihouol described him as an excellent salesman and a show 63 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 3: off who liked to spin big and drink and party excessively. 64 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 3: With several bankruptcies to his name, Nihoul also had a 65 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,039 Speaker 3: rap sheet with convictions for fraud, bad checks and breach 66 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:50,279 Speaker 3: of trust based on records showing frequent telephone conversations between 67 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 3: De True, l Lievre and Nihoul leading up to the 68 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 3: kidnapping of Letitia and the early testimony of d True 69 00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 3: and the Lievre about Nihoul's possible involvement. He was arrested 70 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 3: and his face was plastered all over the media. Regina Loof, 71 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 3: the girl whose words you heard the start of this episode, 72 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 3: had a friend who contacted police to explain that she 73 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 3: knew someone who had concrete information about the True and 74 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 3: the corrupt businessman Michelle Nihul. The friend she was referring 75 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:28,599 Speaker 3: to was Regina Loof. Regina didn't initially want to testify, 76 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,040 Speaker 3: but she was eventually convinced to speak with police on record. 77 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,159 Speaker 4: What the reaction was, what we've seen the True that's bad. 78 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:41,159 Speaker 4: It's like two four six kids that were adducted forward 79 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 4: dead too were still found back alive. That was terrible 80 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,839 Speaker 4: for Belgium. But if what Regina was saying was even 81 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 4: half of it true, it would be ten times worse. 82 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,040 Speaker 3: This is the voice of Rudy Hoskins, who was the 83 00:05:55,080 --> 00:06:00,120 Speaker 3: investigative lead on the team signed to interview Regina Loofod. 84 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 3: Hoskins is currently a partner at one of the prestigious 85 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 3: Big four global accounting and consulting firms, where he's a 86 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 3: confidence leader in forensic services. Earlier in his career, Rudy 87 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:16,840 Speaker 3: was a Belgian federal police officer or gendarme for sixteen years. 88 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 3: In nineteen ninety six, he and his colleagues Amey Bill, 89 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 3: Patrick de Batts and Philippe Uppe were assigned by Judge 90 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 3: Conrad to interview anonymous witnesses who had come forward after 91 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 3: seeing the arrests of the True and Nihoul on television. 92 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 3: To protect the identities of witnesses, the police called them 93 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:40,159 Speaker 3: X one, X two, X three and so on. X 94 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 3: one was Regina aloof who claimed she had been abused 95 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 3: by the true and Nihoul. 96 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 4: Then we had that first interview and now we sat together. Okay, 97 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,359 Speaker 4: what's we're going to do with that? This lady is 98 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 4: completely crazy? That was her first assessment. Right, all the 99 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 4: things he is telling us this is not possible, cannot 100 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 4: be true. And also the names she was clothing were 101 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:09,160 Speaker 4: people of of high society. Yeah, politicians, heads of captains 102 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 4: of industry, magistrates, police people. So this cannot be true. 103 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 4: This is too much. Right. That was a bit the 104 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 4: first feeling, I think. And when did you start to 105 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 4: believe her? When we started finding the first I would say, 106 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 4: the first evidence is what we said that we could 107 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 4: confirm that in the field or through public records or 108 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 4: to whatever. 109 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 3: The story of Regina Luf is both perplexing and tragic. 110 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 3: She was sexually abused by adults as a young girl 111 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 3: and into her teenage years. For obvious reasons, this affected 112 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 3: her psychologically, and she showed clear signs of mental instability 113 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 3: during her interviews. 114 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, and Nancy started talking about cases where she was 115 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 4: not only abused, but where she also witnessed. Although I 116 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 4: would say friends or children that were abused and even 117 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 4: murdered and then when we hurt murders are Okay, that's interesting, 118 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 4: because if there's a murder, there must have been a body. 119 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 4: There must be a cold case somewhere, so talk to 120 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 4: us about that. 121 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 3: She described two horrifying experiences where she had witnessed the 122 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 3: abuse and murder of other young girls. Hoskins and his 123 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 3: colleagues drilled into her accounts of these experiences in a 124 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:33,559 Speaker 3: series of long and grueling interviews, while Hoskins gathered details 125 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 3: and investigated possible links to unsolved cases. Because the timeline 126 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 3: and description aligned with an unsolved abuse and murder case. 127 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 3: To understand this cold case, we have to go back 128 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 3: to nineteen eighty four, twelve years before the bodies of Julie, Melissa, 129 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 3: Anne and Efia were found murdered on the properties of 130 00:08:55,600 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 3: Mark de True. 131 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:01,679 Speaker 1: Those comed up. 132 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 3: Okay, it happened less than two miles from where I 133 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 3: live today. A young journalist, Jean Savigna, is helping me 134 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 3: with this part of the project. We wanted to see 135 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 3: where this crime was committed almost forty years ago in 136 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 3: nineteen eighty four. This was the side of a place 137 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 3: known as La Champignnere, which means mushroom. Farm in French. 138 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 3: You can see if you look at the pictures, actually 139 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 3: you can might that could be that true. 140 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, I love scary place. 141 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,439 Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, these pictures. 142 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 4: You really scary. For Give me the chill. 143 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 3: The mushroom farm had been abandoned in nineteen seventy three. 144 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 3: The only pictures left of this place are black and white, 145 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 3: and they have a sinister feel to them. Maybe it's 146 00:09:49,000 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 3: just because I know what happened here. It was cold 147 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,680 Speaker 3: and dark on the evening of February thirteenth, nineteen eighty four, 148 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,679 Speaker 3: when a local passerby noticed smoke coming from the abandoned 149 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 3: mushroom farm in the commune of Odigem in Brussels. The 150 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 3: passerby called the fire department to report the smoke in 151 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 3: case there was a fire that needed to be put out. 152 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 3: When fire crews arrived, they determined the smoke was coming 153 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 3: from one of the old basements of the mushroom farm. 154 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 3: It was a routine call and it didn't appear that 155 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 3: anyone was in danger, so they sent a small team 156 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,959 Speaker 3: to go check out the source of the fire. After 157 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 3: weaving through a labyrinth of underground hallways, they arrived in 158 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 3: a basement where they found a heap of crates and 159 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:52,560 Speaker 3: trash on fire and proceeded to extinguish it. When the 160 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 3: flames were put out, they started to separate the debris 161 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 3: to make sure everything was extinguished. One of the firemen 162 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 3: noticed a string object under the debris that didn't look 163 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 3: like it belonged there. It looked distinctly human, but was 164 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 3: twisted into an odd shape. To their horror, they realized 165 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 3: it was indeed a partially burned and mutilated body. The 166 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 3: victim's arms and feet had been tied behind their back 167 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,680 Speaker 3: and looped around their neck into an arching position with 168 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 3: metal wire. The hands were missing and the legs were damaged. 169 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 3: Initial responders said that they saw a nail planted into 170 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:43,439 Speaker 3: one of the severed hands. It was declared a crime scene, 171 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:47,320 Speaker 3: and investigators quickly determined that it was likely a teenage girl. 172 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 3: As they sifted through the scene, they found jewelry and 173 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 3: a partially burned school notebook that enabled them to identify 174 00:11:55,760 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 3: the victim. It was sixteen year old Christine van His. 175 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 3: Only hours before. Her parents had called the police to 176 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,199 Speaker 3: declare her missing when she didn't return home from school 177 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 3: the same day. The autopsy determined that she died prior 178 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,679 Speaker 3: to when the fire was set, and that she had 179 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 3: been tortured and raped before being strangled to death with 180 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 3: electric wires. Again the former gendarme Rudy Hoskins. 181 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, the things she told us, she couldn't have known 182 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 4: without having been there or witnessed it. 183 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,560 Speaker 3: Regina loose account of the abuse and murder of a 184 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 3: girl named Christine was strikingly similar to the circumstances of 185 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 3: the infamous murder of Christine van Has at the Champagnoniere. 186 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,200 Speaker 4: And now we said, okay, shit, this girl is really talking. 187 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 4: And then we went more in depth, asking for more 188 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 4: details like the championnaires to described the house, how she 189 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,679 Speaker 4: went in there, and even also details for example, if 190 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 4: you go into a house, okay, normally in the house 191 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 4: you go stairs up and then you go in. In 192 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 4: that case, you went like stairs down and then you 193 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 4: go in. So it was like specific things we could check. 194 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,560 Speaker 4: So we found all the pictures of the house where 195 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 4: you see the stairs going down. For example, we went 196 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,439 Speaker 4: to get the file out of the Justice Pallace and 197 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 4: Brussels where we went to look for the pictures. How 198 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,200 Speaker 4: did it look like internally? There were a lot of 199 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,080 Speaker 4: pictures taken because there was a body that was burned inside, 200 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,200 Speaker 4: and how the body was killed, and how it was 201 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 4: like with the kind of iron. I don't remember the 202 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 4: details anymore, but with iron and stuff at certain places 203 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:38,680 Speaker 4: in the body. And if you looked at the pictures 204 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 4: from the it was not the corpse anymore, it was burnt. 205 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 4: You saw these irons. At that specific points in time. 206 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:50,559 Speaker 3: Rudy Hoskins and his team became increasingly convinced that Regina 207 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:54,079 Speaker 3: Loof had witnessed the gruesome murder of Christine van Has. 208 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,560 Speaker 3: All of our testimony was witnessed by several officers and 209 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:04,200 Speaker 3: even magistrates, and it was meticulously recorded. Unfortunately, there's no 210 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,960 Speaker 3: such thing as a Freedom of Information Act request for 211 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,079 Speaker 3: such material in Belgium, but I was able to get 212 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 3: my hands on the transcripts. What you're about to hear 213 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 3: is a reading from transcripts of Regina Loose's testimony. Warning 214 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:21,479 Speaker 3: this is extremely disturbing. 215 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 2: There was a drawing of names to decide, for example, 216 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 2: which one of the two girls were going to suffer. 217 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 4: Who was the second girl, Christine? What happened to Christine? 218 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 2: She was sacrificed. She streamed so much for someone. 219 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 4: To hear her what made her scream the true. 220 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 2: Nihol and his wife. They tortured her. They tied her 221 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 2: up and spread her legs on the table. She couldn't 222 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 2: even defend herself. They put something inside of her. They 223 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 2: were hurting her and raping her, and they burn her. 224 00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 2: They what they burn her. 225 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 3: Police were astounded by what they were hearing. She hadn't 226 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 3: made a direct connection to the Christine van Hanes case, 227 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 3: but her descriptions of the circumstances of this terrifying experience 228 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 3: were strikingly similar to the infamous cold case. What made 229 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 3: this difficult for police was that Regina Loof had herself 230 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 3: been a victim and she was dealing with her own 231 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 3: trauma at the time. The horrible things that happened to 232 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 3: her over the years made questioning her very difficult. There 233 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 3: were many long pauses where she would just shut down. 234 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 3: Sometimes these bouts of silence could last as long as 235 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 3: an hour. 236 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 4: She must have read it somewhere. Yeah, she must have 237 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 4: had access to the judicial file, or she must have 238 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 4: known a lawyer, or she must have been there. That 239 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 4: was not clear for us. So what we did is 240 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 4: we did a house search in our house to find 241 00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 4: because We also thought, hey, guys seem to have read 242 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 4: that somewhere or had contact with somebody. So we did 243 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 4: out search. We went to every page, to every book. 244 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 4: Is there something in a book, in a newspaper and 245 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 4: old magazine where she could have read it. We didn't 246 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 4: find anything, but still there were a lot of things 247 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 4: that we could check and prove, and at a certain 248 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 4: point in time, I would say we started believing. 249 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 2: I remember it like it's a film in my head. 250 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 2: I can close my eyes and see every little details 251 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 2: of that house where she was murdered. It was a 252 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 2: sort of bondage, so her legs and her hands and 253 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 2: her throat were connected with the same rope, and when 254 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 2: she moved, she strangled herself. Yeah. 255 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 3: By the time of these interrogations, the old mushroom farm 256 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:50,400 Speaker 3: and adjoining house had been demolished, so investigators reached out 257 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 3: to the family who had lived there beforehand. A man 258 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 3: and his brother who had grown up there were convinced 259 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 3: that Regina Loof must have been there before based on 260 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 3: her description the property. These are his words, not his voice. 261 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 3: It was two houses that had been combined into a 262 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:11,360 Speaker 3: single dwelling, with the unique passage of stairs and hallways. 263 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 3: No one could describe it unless they had been there. 264 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,160 Speaker 3: There was a hallway joining two houses, and she drew 265 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 3: a picture of the doors inside. They were antique doors, 266 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:26,439 Speaker 3: and she drew the moldings. She described the wallpaper and 267 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,879 Speaker 3: the front step. I don't know who could have described 268 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,879 Speaker 3: it so accurately if they hadn't been there. I don't 269 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,199 Speaker 3: know Regine Aloof, I've never met her. All I know 270 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 3: is that based on her description of the mushroom farm 271 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,199 Speaker 3: and the house, I'm sure that she had to have 272 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,359 Speaker 3: been there. My brother and I both agree on this. 273 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,879 Speaker 3: We're absolutely sure and certain that she had to have 274 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 3: been there to describe it as she did. I was 275 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 3: able to track down another one of the ex chend 276 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,600 Speaker 3: armes named Emme Bille, who worked on the team investigating 277 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 3: this case. Aimee is now writen hired and based in 278 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,080 Speaker 3: the south of France. Prior to working on the case, 279 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 3: he had a stellar reputation as a heavy lifter with 280 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 3: extreme attention to detail. Here's a translation of the key 281 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:11,639 Speaker 3: points from our. 282 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 4: Interview Cavoil do champion eh. 283 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,159 Speaker 5: If you look at the old case file for the 284 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 5: murder at the Mushroom Farm, you'll see that way back 285 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 5: in nineteen eighty seven, before Regina Loof's testimony, an informant 286 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,440 Speaker 5: told the police that if they wanted to solve the case, 287 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,879 Speaker 5: they should look at a bar called the Dolo. The 288 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 5: Dolo was an infamous bar frequented by the mafia, politicians, police, 289 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 5: and above all Nioul, who was known as a regular 290 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,679 Speaker 5: customer there before it was closed down and the owners 291 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 5: were charged with facilitating prostitution. There were other things in 292 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:51,439 Speaker 5: the file that pointed towards Nioul and du True. For one, 293 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 5: we know that Christine van Hayes was a regular visitor 294 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,880 Speaker 5: to the ice skating Rinkquey Mark Dudru was hanging out 295 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,960 Speaker 5: in the eighties, and that one of hers testified that 296 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 5: she had a relationship with someone named Mark from chall Arois. 297 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 5: This same friend later said that she recognized two old 298 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,880 Speaker 5: photos of de True from the early nineteen eighties as 299 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:17,200 Speaker 5: someone she had seen in the presence of Christine. Christine 300 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,359 Speaker 5: also frequented the swimming pool in Etterbake, in the same 301 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:24,440 Speaker 5: building where Niehul's radio station was based. At the time, 302 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,880 Speaker 5: police were very focused on a group of punk rockers 303 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,679 Speaker 5: who sometimes hung out at the Mushroom Farm. The initial 304 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,959 Speaker 5: tip pointing towards these punk rockers actually came from a 305 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,919 Speaker 5: colleague of Niehouls at the radio station, so that's how 306 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 5: the whole investigation into the punk started. The judge responsible 307 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 5: for the Champagnonire case and also responsible for closing down 308 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:51,200 Speaker 5: our investigation around Regina Loof, had once represented Niel's wife 309 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,879 Speaker 5: as a lawyer, and his sister was the godmother of 310 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 5: Niel's child. So we have an informant pointing to a 311 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 5: place where Niels spent all most every evening. We know 312 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 5: the victim was spending a lot of time and places 313 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,919 Speaker 5: where Nihul and du True also spend time, and the 314 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 5: person who led police to investigate the punks was actually 315 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 5: an associate of Nieuls. When you combine all this with 316 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 5: Regina Luf's testimony, it looks very suspicious for Nieu. 317 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 3: If Regina Luf was telling the truth, Mark d' true 318 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,920 Speaker 3: was involved with Michelle Nihul in abducting, abusing, and murdering 319 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,119 Speaker 3: children in the mid nineteen eighties. We know that d 320 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 3: tru was indeed actively abducting young girls at this time, 321 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 3: but Nihoul is an important element here because he was 322 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 3: never convicted of involvement with D'truz crimes. The official story 323 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,679 Speaker 3: from Belgian authorities is that Mark D True was an 324 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 3: isolated predator who abducted children for his own perverted reasons, 325 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:59,440 Speaker 3: using only low level accomplices. But I interviewed another ex 326 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,920 Speaker 3: gendarmes with shocking revelations that fly in the face of 327 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:06,679 Speaker 3: the idea that the True was acting alone. Jean Pierre 328 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 3: Adon was a gendarmes assigned to the the True task force. 329 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,480 Speaker 3: Just after Mark d Trux was arrested in nineteen ninety six, 330 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 3: my co producer Thomas and I once again found ourselves 331 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,159 Speaker 3: driving down to the south of Belgium to discuss some 332 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 3: of the loose ends of this case. I think it's 333 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 3: over here, number number three. We saw number five, so 334 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 3: this has got to be it. But there's two houses here, 335 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 3: so I don't know which one it is. Here we 336 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:37,720 Speaker 3: are again in the Ardennes. Believe or not. 337 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 4: To their next see. 338 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 3: Because your will be as oca. Jean Pierre told us 339 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,640 Speaker 3: about a curious visit he received from Jean de Nis 340 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,960 Speaker 3: le Jean a few months after his daughter Julie LeJean 341 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,200 Speaker 3: was found murdered at the Truz property. 342 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 5: I got a visit from who came to provide a 343 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 5: statement with his cousin, A restaurant owner from Challowis named 344 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:25,159 Speaker 5: Michel Pirout called them several times. He wanted to organize 345 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:29,359 Speaker 5: a benefit dinner in his restaurant near and all of 346 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:33,359 Speaker 5: the prophets would go to the Julian Melissa Association that 347 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 5: was formed after the tru's rest. On the last call 348 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 5: he made to them, Pierrot said that on the day 349 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,680 Speaker 5: of the dinner he would reveal information about the true 350 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:51,680 Speaker 5: and the girls. He would make public revelations, but he 351 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 5: didn't want to say anything about him before a few 352 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,399 Speaker 5: days later, the Lea Johne family was watching TV and 353 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,240 Speaker 5: they saw a news bulletin about a restaurant owner from 354 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 5: Challoois murdered in a parking lot. So they gave me 355 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,680 Speaker 5: sworn statement and the prosecutor Boulet, asked me to investigate 356 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:15,400 Speaker 5: the murder case in Challois and there I interviewed witnesses 357 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 5: who said that Pierrot was going to make revelations about 358 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,680 Speaker 5: the true affair, and that Piau was not the kind 359 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 5: of guy to whim power and that if he said it, 360 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 5: he'd do it. 361 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 3: So after threatening to go public with big revelations Piraut 362 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:33,359 Speaker 3: was murdered in a parking lot. That's certainly suspicious in 363 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,439 Speaker 3: and of itself, but it gets more interesting when you 364 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 3: hear about this man. Michelle Pirout's link to another lead 365 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:49,159 Speaker 3: tied to the disappearance of Julie and Melissa. 366 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:50,119 Speaker 5: Michelle Pierrout Okay, Michelle Piau was a close friend of 367 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 5: Roget Dupris, and Rochet Dupris was the owner of Le 368 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:59,639 Speaker 5: Carre Blanc, a nightclub in Chalais, and there was a 369 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 5: whitness who reported seeing Julie and Melissa on the sidewalk 370 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 5: next to the car with a young man after they disappeared. 371 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 5: The witness said she crossed paths with the two girls 372 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 5: and a young man and she said to herself that 373 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 5: those are the girls she'd seen pictures off everywhere, and 374 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 5: then when she turned around, they were gone, and it 375 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 5: was just in front of the nightclub the car, And 376 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 5: when de tru was arrested, she made the connection and 377 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 5: she called the police eight hundred number, and she confirmed 378 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 5: all of this to me in a sworn statement. 379 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 3: It's not clear as to why the witness didn't immediately 380 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,960 Speaker 3: contact police when she recognized the girls outside of the club, 381 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:49,879 Speaker 3: but when she heard of Datru's arrest, she made the 382 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:53,400 Speaker 3: connection because d' tru'z house in charle Wa with the dungeon, 383 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 3: was very close to this nightclub where she thought she 384 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 3: saw the girls. In fact, it's less than half a 385 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:03,640 Speaker 3: mile away. So not only was Michel Pierreau suspiciously murdered, 386 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 3: there was also a report that Julian Melissa were seen 387 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 3: in front of a nightclub called the Cariban. This club owner, 388 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 3: Roge Duprix, was a very rich underworld figure. Could Pierraut 389 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,119 Speaker 3: have been planning to reveal something about these sightings and 390 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 3: the club before he was murdered. The connections go even 391 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:28,400 Speaker 3: deeper again. Jean Pierre adon. 392 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 5: Llo's so Fiol and it happens that another nightclub owner 393 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:40,520 Speaker 5: named Jean Claude Mass lost his nightclub in a fire. 394 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 5: Everything burned down, and directly afterwards, Roge Duprix came to 395 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 5: see him. Instead, he had an apartment above his Carrivelon 396 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:54,840 Speaker 5: nightclub and that Jean Claude could stay there free while 397 00:25:55,000 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 5: rebuilding his own club, and in exchange he could help 398 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 5: out managing the carrey Blanc. And so he moved with 399 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 5: his two kids and his wife into the apartment, and 400 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 5: one day the kids went up into the attic. While playing, 401 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,680 Speaker 5: they broke through a thin wall and they noticed that 402 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,160 Speaker 5: there was a room behind the wall. So the father 403 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:25,119 Speaker 5: arrived and saw a mattress and some tissues with blood 404 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 5: on them, and a little window with bars on it, 405 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 5: exactly as if someone had been hidden there. I went 406 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:35,400 Speaker 5: to interview this mister mass with his kids. I interviewed 407 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,680 Speaker 5: all of them. They even drew a map showing how 408 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:39,159 Speaker 5: to access this hiding place. 409 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:44,919 Speaker 3: Could all of this just be attributed to coincidence? Julie 410 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:48,120 Speaker 3: and Melissa are reportedly spotted at a club less than 411 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:51,680 Speaker 3: a half a mile from De Dru's dungeon, and inside 412 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,240 Speaker 3: that club there's a hidden room with bars on the 413 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:58,399 Speaker 3: window and a mattress. We know that the True moved 414 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 3: many of his victims around magically, so this does fit 415 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:06,280 Speaker 3: with his pattern. Jean Pierre Radon followed up internally about 416 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 3: these claims. 417 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,440 Speaker 5: I of course requested a warrant to search the hiding place, 418 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 5: and the judge came to me and said he wouldn't 419 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:18,160 Speaker 5: grant the warrant. He said it wasn't up to him 420 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:22,119 Speaker 5: to attack the mafia of shallow wa A search with 421 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:25,159 Speaker 5: the forensic team to analyze all of the hairs and 422 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:29,680 Speaker 5: blood and so on would have probably found the DNA 423 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:35,679 Speaker 5: of Sile and Melissa, and I still affirm today that 424 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 5: the reason they didn't grant me a warrant is that 425 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,200 Speaker 5: they were afraid to open the door to a possible 426 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 5: wider network. 427 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 3: It certainly appears more than plausible that the True was 428 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 3: involved with a wider human trafficking network. While circumstantial, the 429 00:27:55,840 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 3: evidence and connections are overwhelming. If this narrative is true, 430 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,240 Speaker 3: it would mean that there are other accomplices, either directly 431 00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:07,679 Speaker 3: or indirectly involved with kidnapping, abuse, and murder of several 432 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:11,560 Speaker 3: young girls, and most of those accomplices were never brought 433 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:18,679 Speaker 3: to justice and are likely walking freely in the world today. Meanwhile, 434 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:23,359 Speaker 3: while Inspector Jean Pierradon continued to investigate the case, something 435 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:27,639 Speaker 3: happened that took everyone by surprise.
