He had a difficult childhoods 8 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:34,400 Speaker 2: in a negative and viomence, but it is not enough 9 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:38,320 Speaker 2: to explain what he became twas a man who took 10 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 2: pleasure to hurt everything around him. He in shot, causing 11 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,880 Speaker 2: pain to others. It was his way to take revenge 12 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,199 Speaker 2: on what he believed life had done to him. On 13 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 2: top of that, yet no feeling whatsoever of other people. 14 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 2: It was what they call a perfect psychopaths. 15 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:16,680 Speaker 3: A psychopath is somebody who understands emotions. 16 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,039 Speaker 4: And I told them it is a very exceptional that 17 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,040 Speaker 4: somebody abducts two children at the same time. 18 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 3: Told have been the yen of it in nineteen and six, 19 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 3: but my god, it was just a beginning. 20 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 5: I think Belgium was a paralyzed for perverts in those days. 21 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 6: Welcome to La Monstra. I'm your host, Matt Graves. The 22 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 6: arrest of Mark de True and his accomplices led to 23 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 6: the incredible rescue of Sabine Darden and Letitia d LEAs 24 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 6: and the shocking discovery of the conditions of their captivity. 25 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 6: An entire country was rocked by these crimes, but four 26 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 6: young girls were still missing, their families desperate for answers. 27 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 4: This basement and the crimes committed here have made this 28 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 4: house notorious. Every Belgian knows about Marked Truth's chamber of horrors, 29 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 4: that they must come here and see. 30 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 6: What we knew at the time was only the tip 31 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 6: of the iceberg of this unbelievable story. But who was 32 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 6: Marked a True and how did he get away with 33 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 6: kidnapping kids for so long? His story begins in Brussels, 34 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,639 Speaker 6: in a neighborhood I know well, less than two miles 35 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 6: away from where I'm sitting today. Da Truth's parents hadn't 36 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 6: been together very long, and his father later claimed that 37 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 6: he thought Mark wasn't his biological son. Da True later 38 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 6: described his father as an agitated and unstable man and 39 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:58,079 Speaker 6: his mother as calculating, selfish, and devious. Both parents were teachers, 40 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 6: and the family spent a short spell in a hours 41 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 6: and what was called the Belgian Congo at the time. 42 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 6: You may recall from episode one that I interviewed a 43 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 6: profiler named Karen Hutzebau who established a profile of the 44 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,519 Speaker 6: type of person she believed police should be looking for 45 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 6: after Julian Melissa disappeared. She had some fascinating things to 46 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 6: say about the Tru's life during that interview. What can 47 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 6: you tell us about the Truth? 48 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 4: It's a narcisstic personality, that's first, okay, he was the 49 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 4: first born, and he's even born in Congo, the colony 50 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 4: of Belgium at the time. 51 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 6: A quick note to correct this small error. The True 52 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 6: was actually born in Brussels, but moved to Congo shortly afterwards. 53 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 4: And I know people personally who were also in Congo 54 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 4: at that time and who told me that the father 55 00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 4: of Mardu True. They called him Loma, the man with 56 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 4: the big how do you say in English? He just 57 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 4: jumped on everything that moved his father, his father, And 58 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 4: when he came into the house of my witness, when 59 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 4: he came in his mother to call her children and 60 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 4: said stay here, all of you, everybody was terrified of 61 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:25,600 Speaker 4: the father. 62 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 7: Of the Truth. 63 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 4: On the other hand, the Truth Mark was over protected 64 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 4: by his mother correct and already when they were back 65 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 4: in Belgium, the Truth had become kind of the. 66 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,479 Speaker 7: Leader of the tribe. 67 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 4: So you can make psychopaths in two ways by too 68 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:54,799 Speaker 4: much violence during childhood, physical violence, emotional violence, sexual violence, 69 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 4: name it or and they are worse the children that 70 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 4: are are overprotected because they will never ever take responsibility 71 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 4: for their own wrongdoing. 72 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,839 Speaker 7: It is always somebody else's fault. 73 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 4: These are the man when they are older and they 74 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 4: rape a girl or they kill a girl, it was 75 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 4: her fault. 76 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 7: It's always somebody else's. 77 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 6: Do you think that, because apparently, just from what I've 78 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 6: read that Mark the True his father was violent. 79 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 7: That's part of it. He was mother overprotecting and mother 80 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:31,480 Speaker 7: was overproductive. 81 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 6: So when you talked about the formation of a psychopath, 82 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 6: you said, you know, can go two ways. One is 83 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 6: extreme violence and another is overprotection. Would you think that 84 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 6: he had both? Do you think Mark the True had both? 85 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,280 Speaker 6: What is it that you think made him? Is it 86 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 6: more the protection of his mother or the violence. 87 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,719 Speaker 7: Combination of both, that's a combination of Yeah. 88 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 4: Probably each time he has been hit by his father 89 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 4: or maybe raped who will tell he sought protection by 90 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 4: his mother and she gave it to him. 91 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 7: Anyway, it is. It is very confusing upbringing. 92 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 4: It's not an excuse, but it explains that these people 93 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 4: and their way of thinking of things and lacking humanity, 94 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:19,839 Speaker 4: how that comes. They say that children are born that way. 95 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 4: That is not true. You know, I've seen too many 96 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:28,040 Speaker 4: criminals and child killers, and I do not judge them. 97 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,600 Speaker 4: I judge their acts. So I always have very good 98 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 4: contact with him. Why did you? 99 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,040 Speaker 7: I can be very harsh with them. 100 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 4: One of the offenders I have in treatment and I 101 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 4: film this life and it starts explaining to me, Yeah, well, 102 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 4: what happened? 103 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 7: You know the things that happened? 104 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,040 Speaker 4: I say, what what are you saying? 105 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,280 Speaker 7: We are the things that I said happened? No, no, 106 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 7: I know, I know the things I did. Ah, now 107 00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 7: we're talking. 108 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 4: They really I get out of my mind if they 109 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 4: use where it happened? 110 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 7: You know what happens. 111 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 4: A storm can happen, an earthquake can happen, you know, 112 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 4: things of nature can happen. But this is nothing that 113 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 4: is not something that happens. This is something you did, 114 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 4: You decided to do, and you liked to do it. 115 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 4: And all those psychchatter definitions of disorder. It's bullshit, they 116 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 4: all tell me after six months of therapy. 117 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 7: I did it because I like to do it. 118 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 6: Upon their return from the Congo that the True family 119 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 6: settled in the gritty working class region around the city 120 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 6: of Charlware in Belgium. Charlottlah is a difficult place to 121 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 6: explain to people who haven't been there. It flourished economically 122 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 6: during the Industrial Revolution, with a huge build up of 123 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 6: steel and mining industries and an influx of migrants from 124 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 6: across Europe. After the nineteen fifties, it went from boomtown 125 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 6: to gloomtown, and factories were shuttered and unemployment skyrocketed. Its 126 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 6: nickname became Lepaignoire, or the Black Country. With the gloomy 127 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 6: remnants of industrial decay, the regions parked marked with shuttered mines, mills, 128 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 6: and spoiltips polluting the landscape. Crime flourished in the sixties 129 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 6: and seventies, and the name Charlevaugh soon became synonymous with 130 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 6: organized crime and corruption. Marke de True grew up as 131 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 6: a child of the sixties in this region, not the 132 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,440 Speaker 6: flowery sixties of peace and love, but a much darker 133 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 6: existence his grade school teachers described him as undisciplined and intolerable. 134 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,079 Speaker 6: He got caught stealing from one of his schools, from 135 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,440 Speaker 6: which he was expelled, and was later kicked out of 136 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 6: another school for selling pornographic pictures to other students. His 137 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 6: mother said he was always trying to profit from something 138 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 6: and described him as quote dominating people with less personality 139 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 6: and never expressing any feelings whatsoever unquote. In nineteen seventy one, 140 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 6: his parents divorced, and at some point after that, his 141 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 6: mother started seeing a young man who had apparently been 142 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 6: one of her students. You'll remember from the last episode 143 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 6: that I was able to interview the True's lawyer, Ronnie Bodwin. 144 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,559 Speaker 6: I asked him to share what he could about where 145 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 6: things started to go wrong with Mark Detrue when he 146 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:32,680 Speaker 6: was young. 147 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 8: I think that, you know, the main turning point in 148 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 8: his youthful life was at the time that he must 149 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 8: have been like fifteen years old and his mother started 150 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 8: a relationship with one of her students who was like seventeen, okay, 151 00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 8: And he is always returning to that point as could 152 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 8: not accept first of all, that his parents were going 153 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 8: to split up. Secondly, he then got confronted with some 154 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 8: kind of stepdad who was barely older than he was 155 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 8: at that time. And that's also why he explains that, 156 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 8: for instance, he is different than his younger brothers and 157 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 8: sisters because they were younger. The age difference between those 158 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 8: brothers and sisters was bigger towards the student with whom 159 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 8: his mother was supposed to have relationship, and therefore they 160 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 8: didn't live that the same way. Yes, there was a 161 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,200 Speaker 8: new man in the house, and that new man should 162 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 8: have been him, and it was somebody else who was 163 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 8: barely older than he was. 164 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,839 Speaker 6: This was obviously an important turning point into True's life, 165 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 6: which ended up with him leaving home at the age 166 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 6: of sixteen. We don't know a whole lot about this 167 00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 6: time of his life. It's rumored that he lived for 168 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,959 Speaker 6: a while with an older pedophile and that he got 169 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 6: involved with male prostitution. He worked on and off as 170 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 6: a mechanic while developing his skills as a small time criminal. 171 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 6: In nineteen seventy nine, he was convicted of theft and 172 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 6: spent three months in prison. His favorite hobby was ice skating. 173 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 6: In the early eighties, he started to spend more and 174 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 6: more time at ice rinks On several occasions, he was 175 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 6: kicked out of rinks for purposely causing girls to fall 176 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 6: down and then fondling them while helping them up. At 177 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 6: the age of twenty, he met a seventeen year old 178 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 6: orphan named Francoise Dubois, and the two got married. They 179 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 6: had two children together, but the relationship was troubled from 180 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:47,960 Speaker 6: the start, and Francoise accused Mark of beating her. While 181 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,840 Speaker 6: his wife was pregnant, Mark continued to hang out at 182 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 6: ice rinks, where he met a young woman named Michel Martin. 183 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,840 Speaker 6: He divorced his first wife in nineteen eighty three, and 184 00:11:57,880 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 6: then Michele moved in with him and they had a 185 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 6: boy together in nineteen eighty four. All the while he 186 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 6: got deeper in the crime, from stealing cars to shaking 187 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 6: down elderly women. He also started traveling to Slovakia for 188 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 6: various shady dealings. While there, he was accused of raping 189 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 6: two teenage girls and also brought young Slovakian girls with 190 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 6: him back to Belgium. His wife, Michelle Martin, was aware 191 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 6: of these rapes and even assisted Mark in tricking victims 192 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 6: and filming the crimes. 193 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:40,680 Speaker 8: To me the moment he met Michelle Martin, she was like, 194 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 8: I don't know whether I pronounced it right. By the catalisator. 195 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 8: You know, for instance, if you want to put a 196 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:50,080 Speaker 8: piece of sugar on fire, you will not succeed. But 197 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 8: if you put some ashes which has already burned on 198 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 8: the piece of sugar and you put your match to it, 199 00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 8: it will take fire. And that's exactly what happened. Those 200 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:04,439 Speaker 8: two met and by themselves they were a potential danger 201 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 8: most probably, but it's only by meeting and coming together 202 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 8: that suddenly the danger really got out. Indeed, people forget 203 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,079 Speaker 8: or tend to forget that she was taking the pictures, 204 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 8: that she was filming it on camera and stuff like that. 205 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,719 Speaker 8: She was involved right from the very first moment. So 206 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 8: it's not like she was an innocent bystander. I know. 207 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 8: I've studied the file and I've studied, amongst other things, 208 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 8: I've studied the relationship between them both, and I'm sure 209 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 8: that at that time it was possible for him to 210 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:40,080 Speaker 8: do that because he had found literally but also in 211 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 8: a figure of speech, a partner in crime. 212 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 9: Right. 213 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 6: Do you think she was a psychopath? 214 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:48,439 Speaker 8: Absolutely, I'm personally convinced that she is. First of all, 215 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 8: to do those things what happened, you have to be 216 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,320 Speaker 8: a psychopath. And especially also the way in which those 217 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,559 Speaker 8: things were done. Don't forget that. For instance, they also 218 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,560 Speaker 8: went to Slovakia, and there is all so a list 219 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 8: of Slovokian girls that got raped and stuff like that. Eh, 220 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 8: I mean, this was not something they did just once. 221 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 8: That was a way of life almost. 222 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:17,080 Speaker 6: It was nineteen eighty five and Mark and his second wife, 223 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 6: Michelle Martin, were living in marginal existence in the shadows 224 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 6: of Charlevois. They befriended a man named Jean van Pettigam, 225 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 6: who was a drifter looking for a place to live. 226 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 6: Jean van Pettigam left the army in the spring of 227 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 6: nineteen eighty five to marry his sweetheart and settle down 228 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 6: in the working class region of Charlewas. The marriage only 229 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 6: lasted a week, and Jean soon found himself penniless and 230 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 6: looking for a place to live. His new friend, Mark 231 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 6: the True, agreed to let him live in a run 232 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 6: down caravan parked in the yard of his house. Jean 233 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 6: was a perfect mark for the True. Young, broke and 234 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 6: not very clever, he was soon doing his bidding in 235 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 6: the market underworld of Charlevois. Although educated as an electrician, 236 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 6: da True preferred stealing for a living, and he and 237 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 6: his new protegee, Jean, were learning the ropes in the 238 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 6: world of petty crime, from stealing cars to raiding work sites. 239 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 6: The two would hustle any angle to make a buck. 240 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 6: We know a lot about Jean van Pettigem's experience with 241 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 6: D'true from statements he later made to police and journalists. 242 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 6: On June seventh, nineteen eighty five, Jean van Pettigam stumbled 243 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 6: out of his caravan and joined de True and his wife, 244 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 6: Michelle Martin for dinner. In their kitchen, De True was 245 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 6: animated that evening and suggested, quote, let's go out and 246 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 6: have some fun. His wife, Michelle Martin, knew exactly what 247 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 6: that meant and protested that she didn't want him to 248 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 6: take her car for that kind of fun. But Detrue 249 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 6: wasn't the kind of guy to let a woman tell him. 250 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: What to do. 251 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 6: Soon, they were cruising the streets of Charlevois, and Detruz 252 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 6: spotted a young girl outside a municipal pool and suggested 253 00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 6: they pick her up. Isn't she a bit young, said Jean, 254 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 6: Just my type. Replied De Drue. Jean said he didn't 255 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 6: want to do it, but was indebted to the True, 256 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 6: so he followed orders and jumped out and grabbed eleven 257 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 6: year old Sylvia by the waist with one hand over 258 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 6: her mouth, and threw her into the back passenger seat. 259 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 6: Although this scene played out eleven years before the kidnapping 260 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 6: of Letitia de Les in Bertrie, it was strikingly similar. 261 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 6: A young girl on her way home from a swimming 262 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 6: pool was brutally snatched by markd True in a lackey accomplice. 263 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 6: This probably wasn't his first rodeo, and we certainly know 264 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 6: it wasn't his last, but at twenty nine, De True 265 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 6: still hadn't perfected his technique. It wasn't until years later 266 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 6: that he would decide to change his approach and never 267 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 6: let his victims go again. To True, his wife, Michele 268 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 6: and Jean Vanpettigin would go on to kidnap an assault 269 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 6: several more girls and young women in nineteen eighty five. 270 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 6: Out of respect for the victims, I will only refer 271 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 6: to them by their first names. On the seventeenth of 272 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 6: October nineteen eighty five, nineteen year old Maria was walking 273 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 6: to the store near the town of Bansh. Jean waited 274 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:25,240 Speaker 6: on the sidewalk until she walked by, and then pushed 275 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:29,440 Speaker 6: her into De tru'z pugeat van. There were two other 276 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 6: accomplices in the van that day who's still never been identified. 277 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 6: One of them was described by Maria as a balding 278 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:41,639 Speaker 6: man in his fifties. They took her to a house 279 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 6: and raped her several times before letting her go to 280 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:49,919 Speaker 6: Truth threatened to kill her if she ever talked. A 281 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 6: few months later, on the fourteenth of December, a University 282 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 6: of Brussels medical student named Aksel traveled home for the 283 00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 6: weekend to the town of Naileen, just south of s Charlewois. 284 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,119 Speaker 6: She left Brussels on Saturday afternoon by train to Charlerois, 285 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 6: where she boarded a bus to her hometown of neelim 286 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,280 Speaker 6: Axcel exited the bus just after seven pm and started 287 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,359 Speaker 6: walking home when she noticed a dirty white van that 288 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:29,399 Speaker 6: seemed to be following her. Michel Martin was at the wheel, 289 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:31,960 Speaker 6: while Mark sat in the back of the van and 290 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 6: Jean got out. As she passed by them, the back 291 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 6: doors of the van flew open. Jean pushed her into 292 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 6: the van while Mark pulled her in from the inside. 293 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 6: They immediately put masking tape over her eyes and took 294 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 6: her to a house where she was forced to undress 295 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 6: in front of all three of them. Axcel was locked 296 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 6: up in that house for almost twenty four hours and 297 00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:02,439 Speaker 6: repeatedly raped. Blowing Sunday, they dropped her off near her parents' 298 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 6: home in Neilin, but not before stealing her cash and 299 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:12,160 Speaker 6: her pencil case. Just four days later, the trio struck again. 300 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,640 Speaker 6: Fifteen year old Elizabeth was riding her bike to school 301 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:22,120 Speaker 6: on a cold December morning. In an almost identical abduction 302 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,160 Speaker 6: to what would happen ten years later to Sabine Darden. 303 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 6: Elizabeth was ripped off of her bike and thrown into 304 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:33,399 Speaker 6: a dirty van. The story to True told her was 305 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,439 Speaker 6: also very similar to what he would tell Sabine several 306 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:40,480 Speaker 6: years later, that her kidnapping and rape was vengeance for 307 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:45,160 Speaker 6: something her father had done. Unlike Sabine, however, they let 308 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 6: her go twelve hours later, a miscalculation that to True 309 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 6: would later correct. As I mentioned in the beginning, Jean 310 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 6: van Pettign wasn't the cleverest man. He had given so 311 00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:01,320 Speaker 6: many details about himself during his conversation with victims that 312 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 6: police were able to piece it together and figure out 313 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,879 Speaker 6: who he was. They arrested him on February third, nineteen 314 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 6: eighty six, and Van Petticum confessed to the police that 315 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 6: he was one of Excel's three kidnappers. There was no 316 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 6: point in denying it because investigators had found the girl's 317 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:24,159 Speaker 6: pencil case during a search of his house. Under pressure 318 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,480 Speaker 6: from police, Jean spilled the beans and admitted to carrying 319 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 6: out the kidnappings and rape with Detru and his wife Martin. 320 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 6: He confessed to the abductions and rapes of Sylvia, Maria, Axcel, Elizabeth, 321 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,639 Speaker 6: and a fifth victim named Catherine, who was kidnapped and 322 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:47,480 Speaker 6: raped under similar circumstances. The True and Martin were also arrested. 323 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 6: Martin first denied everything, then confessed, and then later retracted 324 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:57,880 Speaker 6: her confession. Under pressure from de True, he denied everything, 325 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,199 Speaker 6: and when they later convicted him, he declared himself a 326 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:06,240 Speaker 6: victim and complained about a grave miscarriage of justice between 327 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,920 Speaker 6: the arrest and the hearing. The True also came under 328 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 6: suspicion for another crime that involved the brutal robbery of 329 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,679 Speaker 6: a fifty eight year old woman who was tortured for 330 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 6: three hours by de Truan two companions in her house 331 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 6: until she told them where the money was. On April 332 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 6: twenty sixth, nineteen eighty nine, the True was sentenced to 333 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 6: thirteen and a half years of prison. Van Petticum got 334 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,639 Speaker 6: six and a half years and Martage got five years. 335 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 6: The True sentence was longer because he was also convicted 336 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,680 Speaker 6: of the brutal robbery of the woman. I was able 337 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 6: to track down one of Mark d' true's former cellmates 338 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:49,160 Speaker 6: from his time in prison. This man's name is Danielle 339 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:53,879 Speaker 6: de Jas. Danielle is soft spoken and articulate. He looks 340 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 6: nothing like a man who's been to prison three times. 341 00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 6: He was a drug addict for twenty years and found 342 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 6: himself often the same prison as the True in the 343 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 6: late eighties, after getting busted for robbing a pharmacy in Charlehaugh, 344 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:08,879 Speaker 6: I asked him to explain how he meant the True 345 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:09,920 Speaker 6: in prison. 346 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 10: During free time, he would walk around the prison yard 347 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:21,680 Speaker 10: with a chessboard. That's how we met, and we probably 348 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 10: played chess in the yard and he asked me to 349 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 10: be a cell mate, and that's how I ended up 350 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:34,119 Speaker 10: with him. Afterwards, he turned out not to be easy 351 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,960 Speaker 10: at all to live with, because everything had to be 352 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:42,120 Speaker 10: exactly has. He decided, for example, to play chess when 353 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 10: he wanted, even if I didn't feel like playing. And 354 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:50,160 Speaker 10: another thing at the time, I still smoked, and Marc 355 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 10: Dueto said he couldn't stand cigarette smoke. One time, he 356 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 10: was coming back from the shower and I was smoking 357 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 10: at the window, and he grabbed a table leg and 358 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 10: threw it at my head, really violently, only missing me 359 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 10: by a couple of centimeters. He completely denied kidnapping and 360 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:14,439 Speaker 10: raping the young girls, but apparently it was filmed. I 361 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 10: don't know if he filmed it or an accomplice, but 362 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 10: he insisted that he had nothing to do with it 363 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 10: and that he had only seen video during questioning, and 364 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 10: he said that it showed a girl who had been 365 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:31,320 Speaker 10: forced to get undressed and was blindfolded standing up on 366 00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:36,119 Speaker 10: a sofa, and the poor girl, blindfolded while standing on 367 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:39,119 Speaker 10: the sofa, lost her balance and fell on her face. 368 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 10: And while he was telling me this, he was laughing, 369 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:47,680 Speaker 10: like yayena, he thought it was so hilarious. It wasn't 370 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 10: funny at all, you know. It was a scene that 371 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 10: provoked compassion and pity to see the spoor girl to 372 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:58,119 Speaker 10: be forcibly undressed and falling on her face. But he 373 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 10: thought it was irresistibly. And it was that sort of 374 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:06,119 Speaker 10: thing that convinced me he was guilty, because his personality 375 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,639 Speaker 10: fits so well with what he was accused of doing. 376 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 10: At one point, he told me he wanted to build 377 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:16,119 Speaker 10: a hiding place, extremely well built and discreet. And he 378 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,679 Speaker 10: explained what he actually did a few years later, and 379 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,879 Speaker 10: he told me he needed help to build it. I said, listen, 380 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 10: I'm not interested. Why would I help you to do that? 381 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,120 Speaker 10: And he said, well, you can hide your drugs there. 382 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 10: And at that point I clicked and said you want 383 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 10: to build that to hide girls? And he didn't answer. 384 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:36,399 Speaker 9: And then I'll. 385 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 10: Remember clearly when I saw on television years later that 386 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 10: it was marked du true, I thought, oh my god, 387 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 10: he did. 388 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:54,639 Speaker 6: It while in prison, the true one about positioning himself 389 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:58,160 Speaker 6: as a model in me. He even attended AA meetings 390 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 6: despite never having been a serious dress His good behavior 391 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:05,680 Speaker 6: earned him several temporary releases, where, accompanied by a guardian, 392 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:10,160 Speaker 6: he visited his ailing grandmother. She was incoherent and didn't 393 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,760 Speaker 6: even know he was in prison at the time, he 394 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,639 Speaker 6: introduced the guardian as a friend, and the latter was 395 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 6: impressed with Detrue's devotion and generosity. Of course, Mark de 396 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,440 Speaker 6: True knew that this guardian also sat on the parole board. 397 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:28,200 Speaker 6: Never want to miss an opportunity, he was also using 398 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,800 Speaker 6: these visits to sow the seeds that would help him 399 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 6: fleece his grandmother out of her pension and house after prison. 400 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:39,480 Speaker 6: In nineteen ninety one, Mark's mother, Jeanine Lawance, wrote several 401 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 6: letters to the prison pleading for them not to let 402 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 6: her son out. In one of her letters, she wrote, quote, 403 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 6: I know his stubbornness to achieve whatever he wants. What 404 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 6: I don't know, and what everyone who knows him fears 405 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:58,240 Speaker 6: is what he has in mind for the future unquote nonetheless. 406 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:01,679 Speaker 6: On the sixth of April nineteen nine, Mark was released 407 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 6: on parole, only three years after being convicted in eighty nine. 408 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:10,120 Speaker 6: How could a man who violently kidnapped and raped five 409 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:13,160 Speaker 6: children and young women be let out of prison after 410 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,119 Speaker 6: serving less than half a sentence that seemed too short 411 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 6: in the first place. 412 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:23,160 Speaker 2: What the truth is in the eighties is really awful stuff. 413 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,040 Speaker 2: It's so strageous that he spends such a small time 414 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:26,800 Speaker 2: in prison for this. 415 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,240 Speaker 6: This is the voice of Bruno Denis, who you also 416 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:33,600 Speaker 6: heard the start of this episode. Bruno's of Belgian with 417 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,720 Speaker 6: two daughters who lived through these times. I thought it 418 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,640 Speaker 6: would be interesting to give voice to a normal Belgian citizen. 419 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 3: I mean, it's not just one girl he kidnapped and raped, 420 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 3: but five of them. 421 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:48,359 Speaker 9: We're talking about girls as young as eleven years old, 422 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 9: addicted in the streets and then raped and abused and 423 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,680 Speaker 9: threatened with the lives, and all of this before she 424 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:57,399 Speaker 9: and Merissa were even born. 425 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,879 Speaker 3: Should have been the Jenoviti in nineteen eighty six, but 426 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,240 Speaker 3: my god, it was just a beginning. 427 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,199 Speaker 9: What happens after he got out of prison is just 428 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:10,440 Speaker 9: beyond belief. 429 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:22,400 Speaker 6: Next time, on La Mansa, we saw two. 430 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 5: Young girls walking along the street and he said, do 431 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 5: you want to earn one hundred and fifty thousand Belgian 432 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 5: francs And I said sure, but how? And then he 433 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:37,360 Speaker 5: said we had to kidnap the girls first. And then 434 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 5: he showed me she wanted me to bring her Jeli 435 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,800 Speaker 5: la jeanne, and I thought, wait a minute, Jeli la 436 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:48,639 Speaker 5: jean I was convinced he made a Freudian slip. Jealie 437 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,680 Speaker 5: La Jean had gone missing way before Sabine was kidnapped. 438 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 5: I knew at this point that we were onto something. 439 00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:00,880 Speaker 3: Nilissa Mimi not did fill Melissa. 440 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:05,960 Speaker 11: Mimi, my little girl.
