S2 Ep5: Thierry Paulin, The Monster of Montmartre
Helen Anderson and Danni Howard head to Paris to learn about the Monster of Montmartre, Theirry Paulin. After a textbook serial killer upbringing, Thierry travelled to Paris to indulge in a heady lifestyle of parties, drinking and drugs. Thierry was the ultimate night out buddy… but no one knew just where he was getting his money from… Expect terrible French accents, a truly horrible killer pair, and a tale that makes Danni very mad.
