91 | The Saint-Cloud Murders: The Crimes of Serial Killer Eugen Weidmann
About this episode
This episode explores the crimes of serial killer Eugen Weidmann, who terrorized Paris in the late 1930s.
Eugen Weidmann, a German-born criminal, carried out a spree of theft, kidnapping, and murder in Paris in the late 1930s, in a case that involved foreign victims, buried bodies, ransom notes, and multiple accomplices. His calm, deceptive charm helped him evade the police for two years before he was finally captured. In 1939, Weidmann became the last man to be publicly guillotined; a controversial method of execution that would remain in use in France until 1977. 📖 Prefer to read?
