Case History
The above sketch is a sketch of a presumed victim of serial killer Michel Fourniret. According to Michel Fourniret’s wife, Monique Olivier, the young woman was killed in August 1993.
According to Olivier, the couple had hired her in Brussels, recruiting her to take care of their then 6 year old son by posting an ad in a local newspaper. The young woman resided with them for at least one month in Sart-Custinne, in the Belgian Ardennes. A few days before she disappeared the neighbors witnessed an argument between the young woman and Fourniret. According to Olivier, her husband strangled the girl and buried her body in the back of their garden, near their Sart-Custinne residence, or, possibly near Dinant in the South of Belgium.
Despite extensive searches in Fourniret’s property, in a local wood, and in a pond in Sart-Custinne, her body has never been located. Fourniret always denied having killed this young woman.
Little is known about this young woman. She may have been an orphan from Brussels or from France (Versailles?). Neither Olivier nor Fourniret remember her name. The only trace of the girl is a stuffed animal she bought during a fair for Fourniret’s son.
Investigators have never been able to locate her body.
Fourniret has been charged in her homicide.
