This case seems to also add to the evidence that often the deviants in society don't get away with their crimes for so long because they're necessarily incredibly smart, but because society has a tendency to defer and give the benefit of the doubt to status and wealth among other things.
Well here in America, we don't have much space to talk, we'll elect anyone to office if they're charismatic enough, that this guy became a mayor, isn't that farfetched.
WWII made the perfect cover for the doctor’s murder spree. In his early life he was indeed bright, a shame he wasted his talent. Thank you BC for another well executed upload.
Very fascinating, but also chilling how the darkest psychopaths can be so clever and opportunistic enough to avoid capture for years. And they live among us every day. Thanks, Brief Case. Great narration as usual.
It’s almost unbelievable that this man got away with this much!! Gives new meaning to the expression ‘stranger than fiction’. Thank you Brief Case. Good night from Australia 🇦🇺
…it was in the middle of world war 2. It isn’t unusual. It actually makes a lot of sense that people would be more concerned/fearful of Nazis than they would be concerned about people going missing when that’s what happened every single day in 1941.
Thank you, for this "horrific" case about this "despicable" doctor and whatever, I hadn't heard of. I find it unbelievable how much he got away with until he was finally charged and put to death, period! Great investigating and presentation, too.
Great story and really really well narrated. This was a surprise story with a crazy ending. This guy *was* crazy and should have spent time in crazy hospital. I think I can speak for all of us by saying it was refreshing to hear this story as opposed to awful Russia and Ukraine worries.
More of a western(US/Britain) and Russia event. Over stopping a German/Russian pipeline. The Ukrainian people are being put in the middle of this due to the western installed Ukrainian puppet president. For the whole truth I would recommend going to the Corbett Report website.
What a wild case. It went places I didn't forsee. I am amazed he became a physician serial killer! So fascinating, maybe a lesson in beware of whose hands you put your life in! Thanks BC ❤
What a monster! I am impressed by the depth of the research you have to do for your vintage crime stories. I love your channel for this and for the interesting cases!
Thank you for covering this case. It's definitely not brief so you're awesome for covering it in such a great manner with time period photos. Isn't this case really crazy!? There is so many layers to it and during such a crazy time and era. I wonder how many people he actually killed? It'll probably never be proven but I'm just curious because he seemed very possible to have one of the highest number of victims. He definitely had the position and abilities to handle and blend in better than most people.. which made his opportunity to do what he did and have high level power over paperwork, documents, peoples trust, etc. It's crazy
Good morning Brief 💼 Case 💐😊🤗 This is quite an action packed case...like a modern action movie! This guy wasn't crazy...he was just plain EVIL! He did a good job of pretending he was insane to get out of the front lines...at first it seemed plausible that he suffered from the battle. But then I nearly choked on my bagel when you said that he went to school to train to be a medical doctor, completed his studies, then went into practice not only at the psyche hospital, but then private practice. And he also met and married a woman and had a child! (She was the one who had to be insane! Poor child...wonder whatever became of him/her?) Became MAYOR?!?! Then carrying out all sorts of atrocities against men and women and unborn...he was sick with EVIL. Psychopath...who planned people's demise and coerced them into coming forward to escape the Nazis the WW only provided a really good cover for his evil to continue. Those poor people who trusted him with their lives and wanted to escape paid their killer to rob and murder them! Pure EVIL... And finally I'm a medical doctor...don't pay any attention to the dismembered bodies behind the curtain. They're enemies of France! 🤦🏻♀️😞 It was justice that he got what he did! Now off with his lying murderous head! (Thanks for the entertainment this morning!)
I love your comment. Very astute, absolutely he was EVIL . I think yours is one of the best comments I've read online. And this show is so awesome to listen to. So much history of crime and how wicked people can truly be.
I think that the moral void in serial killers is there before they go to war. I would be suspicious of people who return from war emotionally unchanged, apparently unmoved by the horror.
Well, realistically, one could pretty easily study that. Assuming most are caught eventually (seems likely in Western countries), we have pretty good data for the last hundred years on who the serial killers were. We also usually have biographies on them. So someone could look into this with only a little research. My actually guess is "not very many". Many serial killer seem to exhibit a disinhibited behavioral disorder and don't seem to have much willpower. From what I've seen, if they go into the military they usually wash out for behavioral reasons or end up in low intensity low responsibility positions.
This was an extremely fascinating case. It's amazing that it took so long for him to be caught and unbelievable that he kept rising to positions of authority and respectability. I kept saying "You've got to be kidding me!" the whole time.
I think as a child he did. Taking a gun to school at 11? Sounds like a cry for help. And then his mother dies and his father sends him off to an aunt, poor kid
agreeing with the crime reel fascinating intriguing would have made a great movie thanks for the posting excellent job will be looking for the next episode😊
Wow! I'm so surprised he got away with so much for so long. Letting him out of the insane hospital was a serious mistake. You have to be completely insane to dismember bodies and throw them in the river as well as burning their remains in his furnace. Thanks BC! I can't wait to get here every Monday. Another fabulous case. Thank you for all of the hard work you all must do to discover these cases. You're my favorite page!
I just checked to be sure but I finally used all the superlatives possible in describing how well you've done with your videos. I guess I'll have to start making words up. Thanks as always for these tremexcellentous (OK my words are a work in progress) uploads.
Brief Case watching this delightful upload of most despicable individuals in history is making my morning after a nightshift turn out spectacularly. Thank you so much! 🥰 You do have truly disturbing content since it's true crime by actual people. 😬
It's a shame that many insane people are also highly intelligent. I think that he was able to get away with so much was because of a combination of him obtaining a medical degree to give him the sense of authority and the occupation of France. The sheer luck he had in not getting convicted was also amazing.
Doubtful he was insane (as people generally view). With his intellect and calculating personality, he likely was a psychopath without a chemical imbalance.(likely personality disorder sprinkled with evil.)
Dr Death of France. Even though this is one of the better known cases featured on this channel, I have learnt more about it as I do every time I watch or listen to more about this case
Well, as a traitor who simply served jail time in WWII, his story doesn't fit with the evil nazi narrative where traitors were supposedly straight off to be executed. And we all know who runs Hollywood, eh?
One of the best movies ever ,'Dr.Petiot',starring the great Michel Serrault,has been produced.I have seen it many times,really awesome from start to finish!
That's the most convoluted story I've ever heard! I'm confused by the ending, though. Did they find that the doctor really was part of the French Resistance?
My French isn’t very good :( if you want to listen to someone amazing at languages see Forgotten Lives and Unfortunate Ends (same person) He is great at pronunciation
It's funny I find it hard to imagine life going on as usual during not only a war, but the place you live also being occupied. Life as 'usual', plus serial killing! Thanks, BC.
Thank you BC. I've been AWOL from all my guilty pleasures & will need to catch up. Too much current day awful to enjoy these shows. But this was well researched & the photos were amazing. If & when the world returns to some normalcy, I'll be back. Please, wherever you are, stay safe. 🌺
wow, what a cracking tale this one was! it's kinda made my head spin.. this man Marcel sure lived a colourful life, with some really bad fortune and a great deal of amazingly good turns of events.. almost as though it was actually two completely different people. can you imagine what he may have accomplished, had he not had two horrendous world wars- with His homeland being the main stage- to contend with; and had He chosen a more altruistic path? hmmm. Either way, yet another super video from Brief Case,which is a given. Yet, once in a while there comes a story that totally blows me away, and this'un is most definitely in that category! I'm a long time devotee of this channel, and rarely fail to devour an episode as soon as it drops. Brief Case- you rock, mate! take it easy 👍
If only the police, investigating the trunk murder, had done their jobs instead of flitting off to have hot-chocolate and croissants, much horror might have been averted.
Thanks again BC. An amazing tale of a heartless murderer. It truly astounds how a "Doctor" can get away with so much crime. Helped no doubt by the wars. Dark and Disturbing!
Politics seems to filter for the best and the worst in humanity, with the worst having the advantage of no moral barriers to their criminal natures. I think there is a case to be made for meaningful psychiatric examination of candidates and regular assessments while in office.
I love your channel, you find the most interesting cases for us. Thank you It must take such a long time investigating them all. Keep up the good work.
WOW! He got away with murder for DECADES....because he was a doctor, a "Respectable profession",(which automatically excluded a person from being capable of heinous crimes!). Fortunately, we know better TODAY, that criminals hide behind masks of respectability.
What a fascinating story! Just how much bad can a person fit into their life!! Marcel Petiot was born bad! From mental patient to mayor.. what cunning he possessed! Great visuals.. 16:04 - looks like he was getting a tad bored at his trial - arrogant piece of poop! Thanks, B💼 for bringing to light this intriguing crime 👍
@@meemurthelemur4811 Meemy.. I have just been watching! Forrest is gorgeous.. and Ollie on the cat nip. Our latest came to us in June last year.. left in a box on our road at 5 weeks old. Ruby has grown into a beauty.. I wish humans would be kinder to animals.. 😻🐈⬛🤗♥️🌹
@@pimpozza so true! Forrest is my 2nd special needs rescue kitty (Sweetie is a 15yo diabetic; you'll see her soon too). I got Ollie at 4wks old after his mother was hit by a car. It's so tragic how many animals have to suffer from human stupidity, but amazing how quickly they adapt and recover, and how much they still love us despite it all!😻🥰😻🥰
Never heard of him before. So interesting! A real revelation of how desperate people were to escape the war. Makes you wonder how many others treid to profit from it. Thank you for this thought provoking video
I first heard about this from the Bumblebutt Podcast. It sounds like the one of the worst ways a con man could take advantage of the loopholes of the system. Great summary, BC.
Would you consider doing a Tragic and disturbing case on the late actress Margaret Rutherfords' father? He killed his father the Rev Julius Benn with a chamber pot in a b and b in Matlock Derbyshire in 1883. Her mother hung herself. Her father cut his throat after he had killed his father and was committed to Derby Jail. Then committed to Broadmoor. Even if you don't do one on him, it's still an interesting case to look up. The family is related to the MP. Antony Wedgewood Benn.
Wonderful as always. I think I would be more shocked if it was a bad show then if it was a good one. Although I do greatly appreciate the consistency of quality information / entertainment
This case seems to also add to the evidence that often the deviants in society don't get away with their crimes for so long because they're necessarily incredibly smart, but because society has a tendency to defer and give the benefit of the doubt to status and wealth among other things.
How he became a doctor and mayor is beyond me. He was insane and still had respectable jobs.
Well here in America, we don't have much space to talk, we'll elect anyone to office if they're charismatic enough, that this guy became a mayor, isn't that farfetched.
There is a clue in the way police refused to investigate him early on.
@@NelsonStJames Trump! He has NO charisma, no intelligence and absolutely no class.
Uh…. Look at our politicians
Why is this case Beyond you? Don't you know & read about cases of highly intelligent educated murderers in society all around? 😂
WWII made the perfect cover for the doctor’s murder spree. In his early life he was indeed bright, a shame he wasted his talent. Thank you BC for another well executed upload.
WWII not only covered his murder spree, it also made him very wealthy......

Buongiorno Pimpozza! Come va? Be sure to go to my channel to see my new kitty!🦋🌈🦄🤗🌞🌹😻🥰🐱
@@bettyjames4155 Hi Betty!! Did you see Meemy's new kitty, Forrest? Awwww.. I love him ♥️😻
@@meemurthelemur4811 Meemy.. I have just been watching! Forrest is gorgeous.. and Ollie on the cat nip. Our latest came to us in June last year.. left in a box on our road at 5 weeks old. Ruby has grown into a beauty.. I wish humans would be kinder to animals.. 😻🐈⬛🤗♥️🌹
@@pimpozza so true! Forrest is my 2nd special needs rescue kitty (Sweetie is a 15yo diabetic; you'll see her soon too). I got Ollie at 4wks old after his mother was hit by a car. It's so tragic how many animals have to suffer from human stupidity, but amazing how quickly they adapt and recover, and how much they still love us despite it all!😻🥰😻🥰
Great research & presentation,. Sure beats crime shows on tv! Thanks for posting this piece of crime history.
Wow what a sociopath!!! I will give him credit, he became Mayor…. It just seemed he just couldn’t stop his sneaky little ways.
What a bizarre story!!! It's unbelievable how the authorities just took his word for why their were human remains in that cellar. Interesting story!!
Always a supreme pleasure listening to you. Thank you.
Thanks so much
Never heard of him before. So interesting! A real revelation of how desperate people were to escape the war. Makes you wonder how many others treid to profit from it. Thank you for this thought provoking video
I first heard about this from the Bumblebutt Podcast. It sounds like the one of the worst ways a con man could take advantage of the loopholes of the system. Great summary, BC.
been sick for a couple weeks....finally catching up on these...thanks, BC!
Hope you are feeling better
@@BriefCaseOfficial I am, thank you!
Haven't watched in awhile! Always love coming back
Nice to see you here again :)
Hi! You mentioned his wife was arrested, but didn't elaborate. Was she in on it with him? Or was she innocent? Thanks:]
Thank you, BC! Yet another fascinating case.
Thanks for listening
O M G What a story! Horrible, crazy, incredible. This should be made into a movie.
Would you consider doing a Tragic and disturbing case on the late actress Margaret Rutherfords' father? He killed his father the Rev Julius Benn with a chamber pot in a b and b in Matlock Derbyshire in 1883. Her mother hung herself. Her father cut his throat after he had killed his father and was committed to Derby Jail. Then committed to Broadmoor. Even if you don't do one on him, it's still an interesting case to look up. The family is related to the MP. Antony Wedgewood Benn.
Wonderful as always. I think I would be more shocked if it was a bad show then if it was a good one. Although I do greatly appreciate the consistency of quality information / entertainment
How chillingly dark & crazy...Great one BC...Love 💘 😻 💜 💛 💚 🧡
Another case very well done. Thank You from all of us BC.
