The Son of a Monster

Since 2008, the Fourniret affair has been devastating France and Belgium. The
serial killer Michel Fourniret was sentenced to life imprisonment for a series
of kidnappings, rapes and murders. His wife, Monique Olivier, was also given
life imprisonment with preventive detention of twenty-eight years. Their
shadows continue to hover over some thirty unsolved murders. In 2014, the
journalist Oli Porri Santoro began his investigation; and in the process, he
met and befriended Selim, the only son of the diabolical couple. Selim had
since built a new life for himself in the south of France, under a new
identity. The day after their meeting, fate intervened. Selim received a
letter from his father, whom he had not heard from for ten years. Over the
next ten years, Santoro and Selim began corresponding with Fourniret (there
are more than a hundred letters) and met him in prison at Ensisheim in Alsace.
This is a true story never before told, with unpublished confessions of
murders never obtained by investigators, the revealing of the name of a
potential accomplice, evidence of Michel Fourniret's presence at the Ranucci
trial in 1976, and the truth about the fate of the remains of the Postiches
gang treasure.
