elite of occult never caught (almost never)
I was speaking today with a colleague, trying to
get myself inside the head of a blood-drinker,
and that of a rich and powerful blood-drinker at
that.
What strains the credulity of the average person is that they
cannot believe that 'respectable', 'intelligent', 'prominent'
people would engage in such things. Is it possible?
But to better understand , research the life of Benjamin Franklin for
some insight into the type of people I am referring to.
Benjamin Franklin was both ingenious and satanic.
In my research, the conclusion that I came to is that this belief
system is also prevalent among some of the most prominent,
prolific, and brilliant minds in the world.
Hence, the rich and powerful involved, and very willing both to provide
eachother victims and to help conceal the crimes.
Some of these people are worshipped for their genious.
Their genious is fed by evil, but their genious also produces
immeasurable wealth and knowledge to mankind.
The rich and powerful are heavily into hedonism. They recognize no
boundaries. Their quest is to achieve complete omnipotence, and these
people feel that they are performing A SERVICE TO HUMANITY each time
they ritualistically take a life. Each time they give a life surge to
the stronger among us.
That is why the ritual murder is termed a 'sacrifice'. They are willing
that humanity , (and the victim's loved ones) lose these people in
order that the stronger among us, the smartest, perhaps even the
ingenious, will gain , at any cost, greater fortitude, greater life
force, to perform their great works in the service of mankind.
This is also why the victims of this network tend to be the weaker
underlings, society's discarded, such as poor and uneducated
people/hitchhikers/ prostitutes. These are deemed to be the expendable
sector of society, the equivalent of beef cattle, in service to the
greater good of humanity.
warning: graphic video of kosher slaughter process at
kosher meat packing plant.
(similar to satanic ritual torture of animals and people. Ancient
practice of drinking blood of tortured victims/animals in occult
rituals. Why?
The blood of the tortured is the most ancient narcotic , going back to
man's most primitive beginnings. The blood of the tortured is full of
natural opiates (endorphin pain-killers) secreted by the brain
into the blood stream. The blood of the tortured (animal or human) is
also full of adrenaline, the natural stimulant that is secreted into
the blood by the adrenal glands
for the 'fight or flight' response . Thus pain and fear produce a
harvest of opiates and stimulants from the glands of a mammal.
graphic video of kosher slaughter: http://tinyurl.com/y8zfu8
(note how this death chamber is crafted to generate maximum terror in
the animals.)
Standard north american plants immediately kill the animal with
a bolt through the head, far different from the kosher meat processing
depicted here. In this video, notice how the slaughter chamber is
crafted to provoke maximum terror among the animals, with the deafening
sound of several hellish machines operating simultaneosly and the
simultaneous death throes of several animals. Note how the machine
immobilizes the head of the animals while its voice box is ripped from
the throat with a hook after the throat is slit, to silence the animal,
then the machine squeezes the torso of the animal, its blood draining
into a grate
and the legs then mechanically crushed to prevent it from standing
while it dies slowly, . This is
conducted to produce maximum pain and terror. (notice that part
of the ritual is that if the animal makes eye contact with anyone
else other than the appointed throat cutter, they are to kick blood
into it's eyes.)
In occult rituals, the victim is tortured and their blood drained into
goblets.
This blood is immediately drinken because it provides an incredible
narcotic high.
Just like many popular narcotics are actually a mixture of opiates and
stimulants together (morphine and amphetamines) (codeine and caffeine).
This ancient practice created an addiction among it's proponents. It
became habitual, and also
imbued with spiritual meaning among the ignorant. Ancient man did not
understand why the blood of the tortured contained opiates and
stimulants, or why drinking this blood made him feel like a god. He
thought that this was his mystical connection with dark spirits, and
the narcotic high a reward by spirits for his cruelty toward his
I wonder how blood drinkers deal with these modern scourges of AIDS,
hepc etc.
ARe people known to be uninfected chosen? Maybe children or
babies in cases that they wish to use actual human blood? Do they have
access to the medical
records of victims? Access to blood lab records or testing facilities?
Somehow they are obtaining victims with clean blood.
In case that blood safety is in question , I would guess that, as
mentioned earlier, we can now synthesize same or even more
powerful endorphin and adrenaline , in the form of narcotic
mixtures,through plant-based opiates (endorphins) and stimulants
(adrenaline) . If the blood cannot be used in the ritual, then the cult
will use drugs.
I am willing to bet that there is still a higher than average incidence
of HIV among satanists, due to these factors. Especially back in the
early 1980's before public awareness and the attendant precautions.
My guess is that these rituals are often designed equally around
ministering to the hormonal/bestial needs of these people.
It is probable that those performing these acts feel that they
reach a physically satiated state from participating. The act of
committing the violence alone, under the proscribed ritual, does things
to their blood and brain chemistry from which they derive strength,
both spiritual and physical.
A good analogy I can think of is sport hunters and sport fishermen, and
especially sport fisherman, who unlike hunters, often release or
discard their catch. There is no logical reason to lure fish and
inflict pain on them, and then release them into the water. These are
not particularly sadistic people either. There is something primordial
and ancient about the life and death struggle of having a fish on the
line. It is struggling for its life, fighting, and one must in turn
resist its fight, in effect fight for one's life. Fight or flight
hormones are released into the blood.
Many people are addicted to the thrill of hooking a big fish, even if
they throw it back.
This is the adrenaline rush of the predator, of the hunter.
Some people watch horror films for the same reason. They get an
adrenaline rush from being frightened, and find that their sedentary
and secure life dulls them into not hormonally experiencing life's
daily struggle for survival. This is the adrenaline rush of the hunted.
These are both fight or flight hormonal rushes that people are
experiencing/achieving.
That of the hunter and that of the hunted. There may be a crucial
difference here. Satanists may be achieving a blood chemistry
conducive to physical stamina, even genius, through ritualistic
violence
(adrenaline rush of the predator) followed by blood drinking, or
perhaps the consumption of powerful narcotics containing both opiates
and stimulants. (Mick Jagger, a knighted Freemason of the highest
order, put out a record called 'Goats Head Soup', with a picture of a
goats head in a pot. He was also a notorious user of heroine, and one
of the Rolling Stones biggest hits is a song called 'Sympathy for the
Devil'.
Mick Jagger fits the exact profile of the satanic persona that I make
reference to .
Extremely wealthy, and revered, gifted and talented, at one point the
subject of mass adoration at its absurd extreme.
He achieved cult-status popularity. People worshipped him, and so he
accepted their offerings......a very good candidate for satanism,
to be recruited by the cult, to be made to drink human blood. He too
would be sacrificing something in participation, sacrificing his
morality
as part of the process, likely in the hopes of attaining greater
strength with which to reward his supporters, and earn their adulation.
Jagger would be just a tiny cog, one of thousands and tens of thousands
of prominent people who are 'dabbled' in the occult, dipped in the
blood.
I mention him here only because his occult past is fairly widely known.
What was not known until recently is the extent of occultism, and the
seriousness
of it practitioners: their extremism.

The grove itself is a massive, thickly forested rural installation

Burned bodies are sometimes connected with rituals involving child
sacrifice. The parents should be thoroughly investigated in any case
in which a body is found burned, especially that of a youth.
Burning the body is of course also a good means of destroying forensic
evidence thoroughly. You burn up any finger prints or fibres, and/or
conceal the type of injuries inflicted during the killing. I suspect
the fire department therefore plays a very large role in secret
societies.
As far as media/police/establishment complicity in this: the mind
boggles.
A fish rots from the head down. If you have the allegiance of key
offices of power, key to the power structures of society, that may be
all that is required.
Everyone in authority is with you, or they are out.

Blacklisting, blackballing, blackmailing, setups, defamations/character

discussing here.
The system can be manipulated from within.
What comes to mind is that virtually unlimited resources are expended.
As in the Jack the Ripper murders (see the film
something. Canada's justice system is really something too. How many of
these apparently random 'first offence' killers are actually hired to
silence people. If they are caught, they know that it means a maximum
of about five to eight years inside. Not bad, if you are secretly paid
a large sum of money. You do five years inside, but you are making
fifty
thousand a year to be there , and there is a good chance that you
will not even be caught to begin with.

AS far as a network or a brotherhood, we already have words for some of
those: gangs, mafia, etc. How deeply are the bikers, the rappers. or
the mafioso tied up in this? Some these pimp
'street gangs' like the Crips and bloods in L.A. or the Canadian street
gangs are heavily into child prostitution/procurement.
In Halifax it was the Glasgow Guys , a black gang that had a nationwide
network of pimps and recruited teenaged girls, transporting them from
city to city. and murdering them if they tried to escape or threatened
to tell anyone. It emerged that the leaders of many of these

Dutroux reveals that police helped in teens' kidnap
BY AGENCIES IN ARLON, BELGIUM
Marc Dutroux, whose face in court cannot be shown under Belgian law
Marc Dutroux, the Belgian paedophile, revealed today that police
officers helped him to abduct two young women whose bodies were later
discovered buried in his garden.
Testifying for the first time at his trial, Dutroux said that he
abducted An Marchal, 17, and Eefje Lambrecks, 19, with the help of a
heroin-addicted friend, who is also on trial, and two other men.
"I later found out they were members of the police force," he told the
court, without identifying them.
Dutroux, 47, a convicted paedophile, is testifying on the third day of
his trial in the small town of Arlon. He is accused of kidnapping,
imprisoning and repeatedly raping six girls in the 1990s, and killing
four of them.
His defence team says that he was part of a large paedophile network
that reached into the legal establishment.
Dutroux told the court: "It is regrettable that four people can never
come back. I cannot repair that. If I hadn't agreed to do what I did
they would probably be alive.
"I cannot accept all responsibility, but take responsibility for the
role I played."
Dutroux told the court that one of the police officers and his alleged
drug-addict accomplice, Michel Lelièvre, raped Ms Marchal after the
teenagers were kidnapped while on holiday near the Belgian coastal town
of Ostende.
But Dutroux denied murdering the two young women, who according to a
post-mortem examination, were most likely to have been drugged until
they were unconscious and then buried alive.
Dutroux said that he left the two young women with Mr Lelièvre and a
French accomplice, Bernard Weinstein, whom Dutroux has today denied
killing, after previously admitting to murder while in custody. The two
men planned to force the women into prostitution.
Dutroux told the court: "I never thought that they were going to kill
them. I find it a great shame that these girls died. It's a disaster."
Their bodies were discovered by the police in September 1996, buried in
the garden of a property belonging to Dutroux.
A month before, the brutally abused bodies of Julie Lejeune and Melissa
Russo, two eight-year-old girls, were unearthed from another Dutroux
property, along with that of Mr Weinstein.
Post-mortem examination reports showed that the children had starved to
death after being raped and beaten.

Olenka Frenkiel says:
In 1996 this woman came forward to tell the Belgian
authorities she'd spent her childhood years as the victim
of a paedophile network.
She described a world of organised sexual abuse, torture
and even murder.
It was terrible, you didn't believe your eyes and I didn't
believe that humans could do that.
She talked of violent child sex orgies with politicians,
judges and influential businessmen; a Belgian
underworld in which the establishment has refused to
believe.

Regina Louf is a pathological liar; she's a woman who's
invented a series of scenarios, which just don't stand up.
Olenka Frenkiel says:
A campaign followed to discredit her evidence. But now,
in an exclusive interview, the policeman assigned to
investigate her claims has broken his silence.
He says the enquiry was blocked because it threatened to
reveal too much.
Rudy Hoskens says
I'm convinced that she has been a victim - that's for sure.
Olenka Frenkiel says:
In June 1996 this Belgian slum revealed a bitter secret
that would come to haunt the nation.
The eyes of the world watched in horror. Into the light
emerged two young girls.
Laetitia, aged fourteen and Sabine just twelve were the
latest in a long line of girls who'd gone missing.
Marc Dutroux, a convicted rapist and kidnapper, had led
the police to where he'd imprisoned them.
Relief swept Belgium as their tearful homecoming was
caught on camera.
But it soon turned to horror when police revealed the
secret cage hidden in the cellar of Dutroux's house.
The girls had been kept here, drugged and repeatedly
raped.
But what of Belgium's other missing children. Eight year
olds Julie and Melissa who were missing for more than a
year and twelve others who'd vanished mysteriously.
Was this a new lead in the hunt for them?
The hopes of their parents were soon dashed. Within
days Marc Dutroux led police to the site where the bodies
of Julie Lejeune and Melissa Russo were buried.
The parents were informed but when the Russos asked to
see their daughter, Melissa, for the last time, they were
refused.

It's not up to them to know what's good for our
psychological well-being. What would have been good
for us was to be certain.
Olenka Frenkiel says:
It's six years since the police unearthed the bodies of
Julie and Melissa buried in the garden of this house.
What's extraordinary to me is that though Dutroux's in
jail, he's never been tried for these crimes. It's as though
the judicial system froze when faced with having to bring
him to trial.
Officially Dutroux lived on benefits yet this house, now
derelict, was one of five that he owned.
The bodies of two more missing girls were found at
another of his houses- Efje Ambrecks and An Marchal.

PAUL MARCHAL

I didn't believe that it was possible that children were
kept in, in a cellar and were raped and, and kept there,
until that Dutroux was, taken to prison and that he, that
he could see the cellar. At the moment I had to believe.
Olenka Frenkiel
Before the murders Marc Dutroux had already been
convicted of five charges of rape and kidnapping. Yet
somehow he'd served only six years in jail before he was
released back into the Charleroi underworld.
This was once Belgium's industrial heartland but today
its most famous industry is crime.
Dutroux melted back into this realm of prostitution, drug
traffic and stolen cars and began to plan his next project -
the kidnap of children.
For the parents now burying their murdered daughters
after more than a year of fruitless searching, this was not
the end of their nightmare. They would soon find out
that Dutroux had been a prime suspect from the start, yet
nothing had been done to save their girls.
Melissa's father is still asking why his daughter was
allowed to die.

Father of Melissa
Voice over
"Ten days after the kidnapping of Julie and Melissa in '95,
three witnesses said it was Dutroux who was kidnapping
children. But they don't go looking for Julie and Melissa
at his house straight after the kidnapping. It's
inexplicable. And he continues to kidnap other children.
They put a special surveillance unit to watch Dutroux
and he continues to kidnap children. It's inexplicable;
the whole thing is inexplicable from start to finish."
Frenkiel says:
What is known is that Dutroux was finally caught when
his white van was identified. It had been used to snatch a
sixth girl, miles away from his home patch.
The man who arrested Dutroux was Jean Marc Conerotte,
an investigating magistrate. He became a national hero,
uniquely respected by the parents of the murdered
children.
Paul Marchal
"He is someone who want to know the truth. You can feel
it when you talk to him, you can feel that he want to
investigate, the he want to have the truth. He is a very
good magistrate."
Conerotte arrested Dutroux's associates. Among the first
was Jean Michel Nihoul.
Nihoul and Dutroux had been seen at the site of the latest
abduction the night before. They'd been in constant
phone contact the day it happened. And the next day
Nihoul gave ten thousand pounds worth of drugs to an
accomplice of Dutroux.
One witness claimed, Nihoul had ordered a girl.
Conerotte knew Nihoul had influential friends, he
suspected he was the brains behind a network supplying
clients with children to abuse. It's a charge Nihoul
denies.
Conerotte appealed to the public for information.
"When I saw him walking down the stairs, I thought that I
knew everything about him. It was a shock; I thought
finally they stopped him.
Regina Louf was one of the first to come forward. She
said that as a child she'd been abused for many years in a
paedophile network involving Nihoul and Dutroux.
I remember Jean Michel Nihoul as a very cruel man; he
abused children in a very sadistic way.
She says that at the age of twelve she was taken with
other children to sex parties. And, she told investigators,
Dutroux was there, working for Nihoul.
REGINA LOUF
"Dutroux was a boy who brought drugs, cocaine and
something like that, to these parties, who brought some
girls, watched girls at these parties. Nihoul, he, he was a
sort of party beast. Dutroux was more on the side."
Nihoul denies he's ever met Regina Louf. But her story's
never changed. Nihoul, she said, was one of those who
organised the parties and invited the cream of Belgian
society - judges, politicians and influential businessmen
in order to compromise them.
"It was big business, yeah and it was very well organised
too. There was a lot of money going on there and a lot of
blackmail also. They had a lot of parties; they filmed it
even. So, yes, yes, it exists. I know it sounds crazy and I
know that there is a big taboo on everything like that but
it exists."
Regina Louf's story was horrific. But her account of a
violent paedophile underworld was by now reinforced by
new witnesses, some of whom also named influential
people.
The investigation began. The witnesses' identities were
protected. Each was given a codename beginning with X.
Regina was X-1. They went up to X-9. Their testimonies
became known as Belgium's X-Files.
The task of trying to verify them fell to a young police
investigator.

"They were telling stories we hadn't heard before in our
lives. Things we couldn't believe at first. So we told
ourselves, is this true? Could this be true? And when it
is true it's very, it's very, it's frightening that things like
that could happen".
Rudy Hoskens
"We had a special room for the interviews. It was
specially kept for people who had been victimised by
such matters. There was a camera in the room. They
were done mostly in the evening or the early hours.
When the interviews were finished, they were written
down by a few people of my team, all the way from the
first word to the last, literally."
Frenkiel
But before the investigation could get under way there
was a bombshell.
Jean Marc Conerotte, the man who'd arrested Dutroux,
who'd saved the imprisoned girls, was sacked from the
case.
His removal caused a public outcry. Belgians lost faith in
their judicial system: Crowds descended on the Palace of
Justice and accused the courts of colluding with the
killers.
Crowds shouting

You're going to put in an investigating magistrate who's
never done the job before - can you understand that?"
Three hundred thousand outraged Belgians marched
through Brussels in a demonstration of grief and
solidarity. This White March was the largest protest the
country had ever seen.

Belgians felt that the dismissal of Conerotte was a
betrayal of Dutroux's victims, that it signalled the end of
any real search for a network.
The two rescued girls were overwhelmed.

But what the commission revealed was incompetence that
beggared belief.
Police had been told of Dutroux's plans to make money
by kidnapping children. They had his house under

They even searched inside and heard the sound of
children but failed to find the dungeon.
What it established beyond doubt was that the girls could

They had everything they needed to arrest Dutroux.
That's the scandal of this affair. Dutroux was known; he
had previous form. They had valid intelligence that he'd
built the hiding place in the cellar for the little girls.
There was information from Charleroi that the children
could be at the house.
But when the parliamentary commission began to ask
why, was it incompetence or had someone in authority
protected Dutroux, co-operation with their investigation
stopped.

The danger to Belgium's establishment was over. But
there was still no answer to the most important question -
was the catalogue of failures pure incompetence or had
Dutroux and his friends enjoyed protection?
Were they protected?

"On the question of protection we didn't discover much,

But Jean Michel Nihoul, the man suspected of hiring
Dutroux to kidnap children, was released from jail after
just five months. It's still unclear if he'll ever come to
trial and some members of the commission remain
convinced he is protected.
Vincent Decroly
"We succeeded in demonstrating that Nihoul was really an
artist in protection, really a specialised man in
manipulating enquiries, policemen and judges. We had
proof about that."

Nihoul's release just left more unanswered questions for
the families. The mother of Melissa, Carine Russo, has

raped and killed her daughter. All charges Dutroux

November 1995, Dutroux claims to have left the girls in

food and water.

Well then they're superhuman. It's unimaginable two
children of eight holding out, alone, with nothing to
sustain them - no food, no heat, no human, no
psychological contact. Nothing. In a little cage like that
for such a long time and survive.
Olenka Frenkiel
So how did they survive so long? Did someone else keep
them alive?
The Palace of Justice in Liege is the seat of one of
Belgium's most powerful figures - Prosecutor General
Anne Thily, who's in charge of the case.
She says there's no evidence to contradict Dutroux's
version of how the children died.
So how did the children survive so long? Nearly four
months, until Dutroux was released from prison.

No, no, Julie was dead. Melissa was nearly dead and
then she died. I think it was the next day.
But Melissa, how could she have survived nearly four
months?
Anne Thily
Voice over
Survive in what condition? In a lamentable state, she
was so weak she could not get up. That's according to
Dutroux of course; no one else was there.
Dutroux was acting alone. This is the mantra repeated
again and again in Belgium with a certitude that for the
victims' parents is inexplicable.
They believe that investigators have blocked every lead,
rejected every clue, which would reveal that Dutroux was
kidnapping girls for someone else.
Most painful perhaps is the autopsy report, which shows
Melissa had been repeatedly raped about two weeks
before her death, while Dutroux was in jail.
So who raped this child? Dutroux denies he raped the
girls.
But isn't it simple to find out if Dutroux raped them or
someone else - scientifically?
Carine Russo
Voice over
"Normally yes, in principal, yes. But in fact the most
elementary scientific tests, like DNA tests, the traces of
the culprit on the body of the child, were just not done."
Back in the Palace of Justice they say the DNA tests were
done but the results were inconclusive.
Can you explain why there was no DNA analysis done?
Anne Thily
Voice over
DNA analysis was done Madame!
Olenka Frenkiel
And the results?
Anne Thily
Voice over
Nothing.
Frenkiel
What does that mean? That there was no trace of sperm?
Anne Thily
Voice over
They were in a very putrefied state. It did not allow us to
make an analysis of that type, of sperm or anything.
Olenka Frenkiel
That's not what's written in the autopsy report. Again
the story doesn't square.
The bodies weren't severely decomposed. DNA can be
identified from samples taken long after death. The
question remains unanswered - why is there no DNA
result, might it have shown that someone else had raped
Melissa?
Other forensic tests that should have been routine were
just not done. Human hairs collected from Dutroux's
dungeon weren't sent for analysis.
The logic was strange. They claimed that as there was no
evidence anyone else had entered the cage, there was no
need to analyse the hair.
In five years Conerotte's successor has shed no light on
the abduction, imprisonment or death of the girls.
Jacques Langlois refused to be interviewed.
PAUL MARCHAL
Father
"Langlois don't believe in a sort of network. For Langlois,
Dutroux is the only one who used the girls. For Langlois
it's, it's simple; there's one raper, Dutroux, a closed case."
Frenkiel
By the Spring of 1997, evidence of a paedophile network
linked to the Dutroux affair was emerging from the
testimony of the X witnesses.
Regina Louf had provided investigators with details of
her childhood abuse, which they'd begun to check.
RUDY HOSKENS
Team Leader, Police
investigation
"In one of her testimonies she explained how a certain
person had been murdered in a certain place. So, we
went to look for that case, that old case, she described it,
where it happened more or less."
REGINA LOUF
"I remember it like it's a film in my head. I can close my
eyes and see every little detail of that house she was
murdered."
Olenka Frenkiel
Regina Louf described a house where in 1984 she said
she saw the torture and murder of a young girl. The
house was connected to an underground mushroom farm.
The building has since been demolished. But Rudy
Hoskens' team identified it and matched Regina's story
to an unsolved murder - that of fifteen year old Christine
van Hees.
Rudy Hoskens
"She gave us some details that made us think it's
impossible to give without having been there at that
place, or without having, yeah, lived that in the way the
body was found at that time and the way she described
the person was, was killed. There were some things that
were exact."
Regina Louf
"It was a sort of bondage, so her legs and her hands and
her throat were connected with the same rope and when
she moved she strangled herself, yeah."
Frenkiel
The credibility of Regina Louf's testimony hinged partly
on whether she really knew the house where Christine
Van Hees was killed.
This man grew up there, though his family sold it before
the murder.
It was two houses knocked into one with a unique
passage of stairs and corridors. No one, he says, could
describe it unless they'd been there.
Man
Voice over
"There was the corridor here between the two houses.
And she drew a picture of the doors inside. They were
antique doors and she drew the mouldings. She
described the wallpaper and the front step. I don't know
how she could have described it all so faithfully if she'd
never entered the house."
Man
Voice over
"I don't know Regina Louf; I've never even met her. All I
know is from her description of the house, of the
mushroom farm, my brother and I agreed, I'm sure, it's
certain she entered the mushroom farm. It's certain. "
Frenkiel
The police were now convinced they were on to
something. That Regina Louf's testimony was credible.
What's more it gave them a new link between Marc
Dutroux and the man accused of being his boss, Jean
Michel Nihoul.
In the year before her death, Christine Van Hees was a
regular visitor to the Brussels ice-rink where Marc
Dutroux also went.
He'd already been banned from the rink in Charleroi
where he was notorious for molesting girls. The manager
remembers it well.
Ice rink manager
Voice over
"And then I saw him with a young girl who was up against
the lockers like this. And Dutroux, who was in front of
her with his hands all over her like this."
So I grabbed him and pulled him back and brought him
over here. At that moment my father-in-law turned up
and when he found out what was happening he wanted to
hit him. So I grabbed his arm, otherwise he would have
punched him."
Frenkiel
When she wasn't skating Christine Van Hees used to
spend time in the building of a pirate radio station. It
belonged to Jean Michel Nihoul.
Both men, Dutroux and Nihoul, were at Christine Van
Hees's murder, according to Regina Louf.
And Dutroux was involved in the murder?
Regina Louf
"He watched it and he didn't do something, anything and
also he abused her that night, so, yes, he was involved."
How many people were there?
Regina Louf
"I still don't know for sure. But around eight."
Nihoul, Dutroux?
Regina Louf
"And a lot of others. So. But everybody except Dutroux
is free."
Oenka Frenkiel
Nihoul denied it. But her testimony was dynamite. If
true, it meant Dutroux and Nihoul were linked with
another murder. But then out of the blue the
investigation was stopped.
Rudy Hoskens
"We received a message that we couldn't investigate
anymore just like that. We were sent home. Just like
that, without an explanation because our work hadn't
been done all right. Very strange."
Olenka Frenkiel
Why were you taken off this case?
Rudy Hoskens
"I wish I knew. Perhaps we were touching something we,
we couldn't touch. Some people say this, we didn't have
the proof at that moment to say things like that but
perhaps we were coming closer to some things, yeah,
perhaps."
Olenka Frenkiel
Like what things?
Rudy Hoskens
I don't know, something Belgium or the world shouldn't
know about.
Olenka Frenkiel
Patric De Baets, the head of Hoskens' team, had been one
of Belgium's most respected police investigators. It was
he who'd taken Regina's testimony. Now he too was sent
home, accused of manipulating her evidence.
Patric De Baets, who questioned her, was accused of
planting some of the information so that she would
reproduce it. You watched that investigation. Was that
true?
Rudy Hoskens
No, no way. No way. We even had some magistrates,
judges and superior gendarmerie officers watching how
we interviewed and they watched it from the first to the
last moment and if we did, hadn't done it right at that
time, they should have said to us, don't work that way.
But they didn't tell us anything.
Olenka Frenkiel
For De Baets and his colleagues, charged with
manipulating an enquiry, a Kafkaesque battle now began
to clear their names.
They were suspended and Regina Louf got a call from a
member of the new team assigned in their place. His
motive was clear.
Regina Louf
"He said well, we have to search for mistakes you made
now and you have to prove now that you were right. I
said no, I don't have to prove that I'm right. You have to
investigate if I'm right or not. I'm not a police officer, I
can't do house search and I can't interrogate my abusers,
you have to do that. I just can tell my story and, and
make testimony, that's all I can do. He said wrong, you
have to prove it."

News about Regina's story began to leak out.
When the media took it up, it was to destroy her.

The flagship programme of the government funded
French language channel was unequivocal. De Baets was
guilty they declared and Regain Louf, a sinister and
deranged liar.
Claude Eerdekens
Voice over
I think Regina Louf is a pathological liar. She's a
woman who's invented scenarios that don't stand up to
scrutiny. It's all been shown to be fiction.
Olenka Frenkiel
Well no, not according to the investigators who were
sacked. They don't agree with you, they say they weren't
even allowed to investigate.
Claude Eerdekens
Voice over
No, that's not accurate. I continue to believe these men
did not do their jobs properly and that they let the public
think that what Regina Louf and the other anonymous
witnesses said was partly true. That's all a tissue of lies,
stories verging on the pornographic. They make no
sense.
Oenka Frenkiel
Weren't you manipulated? I mean people have said she
was completely mad; she invented the whole thing.
Rudy Hoskens
"Well some people fear, some people say this but they
weren't there. We lived all the testimonies, we've seen
them, we did the investigations. So, for ourselves, we
know what should have been right or what could have
been wrong. But when you don't, when you haven't
lived it, when you haven't seen everything, you can't give
an opinion on this, it's impossible. But we found some
things that should have been investigated more."
Regina Louf
"I am married for thirteen years, I have four children, I live
a normal life. I have a business of my own so I am not
crazy. We are labelled as crazy, we have a stigma, we are
stigmatised as crazy persons because we had the courage
to talk about things that happened in our past. With
person who played a role in the Belgian economy or
politics or something like that. It was easier to make us
crazy than to believe us."
Olenka Frenkiel
Despite its earlier investigating zeal, Belgium's
parliament now stood by as Regina Louf's testimony was
declared worthless. The judiciary announced it would
not be used in any trial.
Snf that might have been the end of it had the files of the
entire Dutroux investigation not been leaked.
Marie-Jeanne Van Heeswyck and two other investigative
journalists had access to every witness statement, every
police report in the Dutroux affair.
Their book on Belgium's X-Files shook the country.
Frenkiel
How did you get the information for the book?
Aston
MARIE-JEANNE VAN
HEESWYCK
Journalist
"We had the opportunity to see the whole police file on
the, the affair and the problem is that we wanted to be
sure that there was no manipulation between, behind that
because it's, it's always possible. So, we decided to meet
a lot of people who were named in the files, who were
witnesses in the file. And we met those people, without
saying that, what we knew already. And we listened to
their story."
Olenka Frenkiel
They found the new team had rewritten Regina Louf's
original statements. Testimony had been changed.
Marie-Jeanne Van Heeswyck
"We began to check it. And we began to read again all the
questioning of Regina Louf to see how they did that,
rewrite it. And one by one we discovered that the
gendarmes, police of De Baets, had pretended that De
Baets manipulate, had manipulated the investigation. So
everybody was tricked."
Olenka Frenkiel
To this day no evidence has ever been produced to
support the allegations against De Baets. Yet he
continues to be accused.
I met him and his colleague in a Brussels café.
Their careers are in ruins and the investigation into
Regina's story is dead. And yet two separate inquires,
cleared them of every charge that they manipulated her
testimony.
Patric De Baets
"I show you the final report of the internal inquiry of the
gendarmerie. It was made twenty-sixth June 2000."
Frenkiel
So what does this mean?
Patric De Baets
"That I'm not a bad policeman."
Olenka Frenkiel
But now that's cleared you, you face new, new charges,
new allegations, new accusations against you.
Patric De Baets
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid of that because I know the
conclusions will be the same.
Olenka Frenkiel
But why this constant barrage of accusations?
Patric De Baets
I don't know. I can imagination things but I can't explain
them.
Olenka Frenkiel
For six years the parents of the murdered girls have
grappled with the inexplicable. Why were their
daughters left to die? Why has Dutroux never come to
trial and why has every lead that might have revealed a
network behind Dutroux been blocked or ignored?
But Belgium's lost interest in their struggle. Today
anyone who talks of a network, even the parents, is
dismissed as deranged.
Paul Marchal
I talked in press about children who were raped and so on
and they started again with saying that I'm a little bit
foolish and that I'm fantasising. I'm sure that in several
years everyone will believe that networks will exist then
they have to accept.
Olenka Frenkiel
Since Marc Dutroux's arrest anyone who's questioned
the official line has been attacked. Every lead that might
have widened the net has hit the buffers.
Dutroux meanwhile has sat in jail. But outside, in the
shadowy circles in which he moved, potential witnesses
in the Dutroux affair have died in strange ways.
A police informer with links to the Charleroi underworld,
Jose Steppe, told a journalist he had explosive
information on Dutroux. Two days before they were due
to meet he died. His family believes he was poisoned.
Jean Paul Tamino was up to his neck in the Charleroi
underworld of stolen cars and prostitution. He was
summoned to see the Charleroi police and disappeared.
The day of Dutroux's arrest his foot was fished out of the
canal.
Regina Louf
"It's quite a coincidence that they die just before they want
to testify, you know, that's strange."
Olenka Frenkiel
Social worker, Gina Pardaens worked with abused
children. She'd identified the paedophile members of a
pornography ring who'd threatened her. When she
reported the threat to the police she was killed in an
unexplained car crash.
Francois Reyskens told a friend he'd seen one of the
missing girls, Melissa, alive in Holland. Before he could
tell the police his body was found crushed on the railway
line. (sound of Train).
Olenka Frenkiel
Some twenty people, all potential witnesses in the
Dutroux affair, have died in mysterious circumstances.
Regina Louf
"I survived it all, I don't know why. I survived my
abusers, I survived my testimony just because I said it all.
Why kill me now, you know, I'm mad."
Olenka Frenkiel
An uneasy peace has returned to Belgium. The streets
are calm; the danger of insurrection has passed.
The paedophile networks persist. Sometimes there are
even arrests. Earlier this year nineteen men from one
village were charged with child rape.
But the Dutroux affair has paralysed Belgium's judiciary.
After six years in jail, there is still no date for his trial.
When it comes, it will satisfy no one.
Paul Marchal
The trial of Dutroux, it will be a theatre, circus and I
don't want to be part of a circus. The truth is that there is
a network and that they have to search for that network so
that you can save other children in the future.

"In this country we will never get to the truth. There is
just too much truth that needs to be exposed. I am

children."
Regina Louf
"I did what I could do. I testified, I spoke up to the police,
to the judges, I spoke up to the press, you know, I yelled
it out. What can I do anymore now, I can't."
Olenka Frenkiel
Children continue to go missing in Belgium. Dutroux's
arrest has made no difference. Last year it was more than
two thousand.
Fifty-two of those cases remain unsolved.

Latest on Canadian Pig Farmer, Robert Pickton's Serial Murder Trial:
Judge Steps Down
Published on Thursday, June 02, 2005 | Author MORRIS, Nick.
Justice Geoffrey Barrow of British Columbia Supreme Court, the judge
that was scheduled to preside over Canada's most prolific murder case
was replaced Wednesday just days into pre-trial proceedings.
Justice Barrow is stepping down from the trial of Robert Pickton, who
stands accused of at least 22 murders and is believed to be Canada's
most prolific serial killer.
Associate Chief Justice Patrick Dohm informed lawyers at a short
hearing that Justice Barrow cannot hear the case due to "scheduling
problems."
Dohm said he'll be replaced by Justice James Williams, who normally
sits in New Westminster's Supreme Court.
Pickton watched the events unfold as he appeared via a video link from
the pre-trial centre, where he is currently incarcerated. Dressed in a
black and grey shirt, he passively observed the scene in the courtroom.
Pickton viewed proceedings via video link.

Justice Barrow had only heard two days worth of arguments for and
against a strict publication ban on pre-trial proceedings, that has
been imposed on the trial. The hearing is due to resume on Friday and
lawyers have been informed that they will need to recap their views on
the ban. Dohm has said "The court will not lose any real time in this
change."
Pickton, a pig farmer from Vancouver's Port Coquitlam district has been
in custody since his arrest on 7 February 2002, following a lengthy
search of his farm and other properties he has owned. The search
revealed the remains of 15 bodies located on his farm.
In January of 2004 the remains of a further 10 women were found. In
total 31 separate traces of DNA have been found on Pickton's property.
Most of the victims are believed to have been vulnerable women working
in the sex-trade in Vancouver's seedy Downtown Eastside area. The first
woman to go missing from the area was Rebecca Guno, a prostitute and
drug addict, in June of 1983.
Since her disappearance, 61 women have been reported as missing from
the BC area. It was not until early 2002, 19 years after the first
woman vanished, that police made any charges in connection with any of
the disappearances.
After a few months of searching Pickton's pig farm, police charged him
with seven counts of murder. In September and October of 2002 he was
charged with a further eight counts of murder, following the discovery
of yet more remains on his property. DNA traces of another victim were
discovered on 9 January 2003, just days before Pickton's 13 January
pre-trial, but officers announced that they would not be adding any
further charges until afterwards, fearing that it would cause lengthy
delays to the case.
Crown prosecutor Mike Petrie and Pickton's defence lawyer Peter Ritchie
would not comment on the reasons behind the switch of judges and how
they felt about it, but the public opinion is one of surprise. Many
feel that problems such as scheduling should have been considered
before the preliminary hearing began. The general consensus was that
the trial would continue into next year.
Justice James Williams will preside over the restarted preliminary
hearing when it starts this Friday.

'On March 10, 2004, it was revealed that human flesh may have been
ground up and mixed with pork from the farm.
This pork was never distributed commercially, but was handed out to
friends and visitors of the farm.'
*************
the way this system operates is that key people are put in key places.
For example
Republican (so-called conservative) Congressman Mark Foley was revealed
to be aggressively gay in pursuit of male teenagers and youth working
as pages in the house.
Then we find that he was placed in positions to influence policy
in certain ways:
http://tinyurl.com/yx269u
'Foley played a leadership role on AIDS issues, supported the
Employment Not-Discrimination Act, opposed anti-gay provisions of
faith-based legislation, and voted against the Federal Marriage
Amendment.
He also co-chaired the Congressional Missing and Exploited Children's
Caucus and helped to write much of the legislation regarding
prosecution of pedophiles and child pornographers.'

Pickton Murders
The lawyer representing U.S. television stations said he does
not believe the publication ban covers the Internet.
But the stations have said they will black out transmissions
to Canada.
RCMP Const. Katherine Galliford said "police will be watching
for violations of the publication ban." She goes on to say
"And if there are any concerns that come to light we'll
certainly investigate that further," Mentioning nothing about
possible connections to missing children, or other serial
killers involved in satanic cults reaching at least from
Mission to Vancouver. She makes no comment that the police
have stood down their watch on the Vancouver East Side.
In May 2005, Crown attorneys added 12 more first-degree murder
charges against Pickton, bringing the grim total to 27.
Rebecca Guno, a drug addict and prostitute, vanished from
Vancouver's downtown eastside in June 1983. Her name was the
first of 61 that would eventually be placed on the list of
women to disappear mysteriously from the drug-infested area
over the two decades that followed.
It wasn't until 19 years later, early in 2002, that charges
were laid in any of the cases. The charges came not long after
police focused their efforts on a farm in Port Coquitlam,
outside Vancouver. Dozens of officers scoured the farm in
search of evidence.
Within months, the owner of that farm, 53-year-old Robert
William Pickton, would face seven murder charges.
September 1998: - Vancouver police set up a team to review
files of up to 40 women missing as far back as 1971. One
tracked down, deaths of two others from illeness, overdose,
confirmed but no trace of many others.
In July 2002, police made a plea for the public's help in
locating nine more missing women, and said that if they cannot
be found, their names will be added to the list of 54 other
women who are missing.
In the spring of 1999, two Vancouver detectives teamed up with
two RCMP detectives to review the file pertaining to the 31
missing women. In August of that year police began
investigating an account by a woman, not a prostitute, who
said that a man snatched her from the stairwell of a hotel in
Vancouver's downtown eastside. The woman jumped from her
captor's moving vehicle to escape.
Accusations that police haven't done enough reached a fever
pitch when former detective and geographic profiler Kim Rossmo
claimed he told police that a serial killer was at work in the
Vancouver area and was ignored. Rossmo said that
disappearances from the neighborhood were normal, but that the
number of incidents was abnormally high between 1995 and 1998.
"If these activities go back to, say, 1995, seven years ago,
some of (the victims) could be buried fairly deep," says
former Vancouver police officer Kim Rossmo, an expert in
serial killers. Contrary to his earlier statment for some
unknown reason, he later says,"Now, one factor to the benefit
of the police is criminals are lazy, so they're not going to
be 40 feet below the surface,"
Rossmo, who sued the Vancouver department for wrongful
dismissal when they failed to renew his contract, claimed that
a single predator was responsible for killing prostitutes in
downtown Vancouver. The Vancouver department dismissed his
claims as sour grapes.
In 1998 I was introduced to Willy Pickton by a local Freemason
West Baker. "Be careful, not everyone that has gone down that
road has come back" was the ominous warning he gave me, he
also warned me to stay out of the pig barn after 11:00 pm, or
I would be horrified at what I saw, as Willy liked to butcher
all different kinds of animals, in all different ways, like a
Nazi doctor experimenting on Jews might. At first it seemed
there was very little out of the ordinary, except the saturday
"cock fights", and the all night orgies and strange foods at
"Piggies Palace" however, after the news broke in 2002, creepy
things just outside of my awareness started to make a whole
lot more sense, and I, having done business there, was
publicly requested to give a statment to the police. So I
attended a series of interviews with the police "Missing
women's task force" regarding the matter and submitted my dna
sample as requested, spent hours under the lights and camera,
almost as if I was on the spot. I was assured my dna would
only be used in this case, I found this to be untrue, much
later. I noticed something strange about the whole thing
though. Appathy. They didn't seem to care about the
implications of what I said, they were more interested in what
I knew, they didn't seem to have the humanity, they were
strangly detached, so I tested them a little, and found them
not interested in the victims, or the truth behind the
implications. I suggested, perhapse they start a missing
children's task force, they thought that was funny, their
micro expressions gave that away, though they didn't laugh.
All of a sudden, it dawned on me, their in on it, the
vancouver police were rounding them up, and Willy Pickton who
dealt with them on a weekly basis, (he had an inside track on
abandoned vehicles), was getting another cleanup contract, all
the girls who were robbing the other drug addicts, instead of
normal citizens, and were unable to re-pay their dealers, and
had deteriorated (look at their faces) to a point as to be
useless as prostitutes, were flaged by the Hell's Angels.
Delivered to the farm in abandoned vehicles, and proccessed by
Willy who was a mechanic, and a butcher. I realised the
taskforce was compromised some how, so I pretended to still be
their friend, and conducted my own investigation. As my own
investigations, and "interviews" later revieled, the victim's
thyroid glands, adrenaline glands, and other "Delacacies" were
extracted from the dead, or sometimes still living beings,
before the rest was put through a wood chipper, and fed to the
"Piggies" Willy called them. Before the Media Ban, the Mayor
of Port Coquitlam admitted to dining at a farm also owned by
the Picktons, just down the road from Dominion St, there is an
ominous quancet, on Burns Road the infamous "Piggies Palace".
There were blood rituals there, adrenaline glands as
appatizers, next to the cocaine dishes, during an all night
orgy, the girls not yet ready to be served were kept captive
at another location, and brought out as they were needed, for
what ever purpose...so... here I am, kind of the odd man out
so to speak, surrounded by vampyres, from dusk till dawn, so
to speak with no real idea what was going on until much later.
Politicans connected to Hell's Angels, connected to free
Masons, oddfellows, illuminati, witches, warlocks, satanists,
police, my "friends". Judges that put the media ban on this
are in league with them as well too, Conrad Black owns all of
our media, is a buildiberger. It would seem that these secret
societies run our whole world, and they eat us too. Well, I
really didn't expect to find this but I did. After the horror
I saw, it will be a release if they come to kill me, cause I
havn't even got to the best part yet, the tunnels. More of the
missing woman and children should be found in the old train
tunnels of New Westminster, than run deep underground to
vancouver and to coquitlam, where they are blood fed, and put
to use as required, people often hear them under the city, in
the sewers, and under the stores along Front St. women
sobbing, children crying, they are believed to be ghosts when
heard, so people back track real quick, and never made the
true discovery yet, but I did. Take a walk in the old
abandoned train tunnel at waterfront station in Vancouver if
you want to meet them. Most of those people are no longer
people anymore, they would kill a person who tryed to save
them, like a cat raised in an apartment, they would run from
an open door to freedom. The royal engineers from old
Westminster in England, brought these tunneling practices from
their country over here, as well as their secret societies,
and did their merlin black magic rituals with them.
Some of those people in the tunnels, have been born and raised

services can handle that kind of rehabilitation, I don't know
just what we should do, it would appear if you follow the
traces, back through the Freemasons and such...I bet even the
Queen is blood fed...no wonder heaven won't help us. Somehow
Dave pickton got the contract to demolish and excavate
Woodlands Insane Assylum, fitting, he has experience
excavating mass unmarked graves, who else would the city of
New Westmonster call. Did you ever wonder where all of those
in-patients from RiverView and Woodlands went?? They did't
just release 500 insane people... did they? P and B Used
Building Supplies, and P and B Salvage are just two of the
companies owned by Dave and family. I heard another recent
little tid bit from the Pickton's self proclaimed "good
friend" of 25 years, West Baker, who runs the surplus store
623 front street, New Westminster, who has 200 institutional
meal trays in his back store-room (for some reason), and an
access tunnel to the underground cattacombs of New West, who
has strong connections (sells them explosives such as live
grenades) with local Nazi activists, (Dale you know who you
are) who also lives commonlaw with Kathy Arcand, Dave
Pickton's Ex-Goulfriend. West claimes that Willy Pickton owns
all the land that the Picktons still hold, they just switched
around the titles and holdings, and the fun loving Willy is
ripping us tax payers off for a team of lawyers that he
doesn't pay for, so when they all help him get away with it
too, like they did when he went to trial in 1994 for stabbing
a prostitute in the back several times, she managed the knife
away from him and slit his throat in self defence, so he got
off... So i'ts business as usual, Dave wont even speak to
Willy, because he doesn't want to blow their cover. Dave goes
to Sturges, where they make their plans for September... As
for this going on elseware, I think all the world should check
very carefully for strange things in the cattacombs and
tunnels of their cities, you never know, there could be

Hells Angels
The Hells Angels actually have a direct connection & origin with Skull
n' Bones.
It might seem bizarre but here it is:
The Hells Angels in the early days were made up in large part of
Vietnam War veterans, who brought back with them their penchant for
opium trafficking. There was a huge illicit drug trade component to the
Korean and Vietnamese wars. A good Hollywood film about this is the
film Air America starring Mel Gibson (1990) about the CIA's private
airline, and their drug smuggling operations in Cambodia (CIA sold
drugs and guns in Laos during the Vietnam War to finance its secret
operations in SouthEast asia)
Anyway, there are some who say the Vietnam War was exactly what JFK
thought it was and tried to prevent: an unecessary war that turned out
to be nothing more than a gigantic arms dealer / drug lord scam foisted
on the American people. The war meant tens of billions to American gun,
armaments, chemical weapons, and munitions dealers, not to mention drug
lords, and when JFK threatened to disband the CIA and cease their plans
for the war in Vietnam, it was one of the reasons that the CIA
assassinated JFK.
watch JFKII on Google video for an excellent recap of why JFK was
killed and who did it.
Anyway, the Hells Angels was composed largely of 'retired' and
drug-addicted Vietnam-era CIA operatives and cocaine-snorting war
veterans.(burnouts) who had lived their entire careers /lives
outside/above the law during their varous oversees and domestic
adventures. They were not a very pleasant group of people . George Bush
Senior and his CIA skull n' Bones clan assassinated JFK & launched the
Vietnam War under Lyndon B. Johnson. The Hells Angels have always been
a distribution conduit/network for illegal drugs imported by the CIA
into NA. (Guess they were sick of letting the Italian mafiosos make all
the money! so they let their fellow Bonesmen's friends and CIA running
dogs take over a lot of the street traffic.
So, now you know why the Angels always seem to be connected with this
occult stuff. They are called 'Hells'' Angels for a reason, you know!
To get up to speed on the whole JFK thing watch the following
film online here: http://tinyurl.com/yfja2y JFK II
and also rent Oliver Stone's 1991 film 'JFK', starring Kevin Costner as
chief prosecutor .
I have little doubt now that many of these 'serial murders' throughout
the christian world, are actually ritual rapes and blood-drinkings and
burnings carried out by Skull n' Bones -type cults, involving
essentially the most dangerous and brazen and deadly people in the
world: the Secret Services and Intellegencia at the pinnacle of the
world's political and economic elite..
It could be that these bodies are being discarded from flying planes in
the same that these planes do regular drug drops.
actually my background on the Hell's Angels was not quite accurate, in
that it implied that the Hell's Angels formed only after the Vietnam
War.
The gang actually had its roots from the Korean war, because a big part
of the CIA role in the wars in both Korea and Vietnam were about
trading guns for drugs. Exporting guns to SouthEast asia, to BOTH
sides, often in exchange for drugs to be brought back to the U.S. via
Air America, the CIA's unofficial airforce. After all, how are you
going to start a profitable war in Asia, selling guns to both sides, if
a lot of people cannot even afford to buy your guns? The solution was
to trade guns for drugs, to link up with the drug mafias in Asia. Fly
tons of guns and ammunition into S.E. Asia, and on the same planes fly
back tons of drugs , (cocaine and heroine and hashish you name it) into
the United States. (usually the west coast, which is part of the reason
LeftCoast Lotusland has its reputation as a druggie haven)
The CIA needed a conduit for taking delivery of the drugs in the U.S. ,
and this is where the Hells Angels had their beginnings.
Even the corpses of returning Vietnam War soldiers were packed with
heroine and cocaine.
When the Vietnam War ended, the CIA started up their adventures in
South America, mainly because that was their business, and the end of
the Vietnam War meant they needed a new gig. Their business was and is
to start wars in drug-producing regions, and trade armaments for drugs
to be imported into the U.S. and other countries.
I am sure there were more than a few incidents of bikers and mafia
harrassing or ordering hits on Vietnam War protesters and peace
activists.
Anyway, the same pattern has continued to this day.
The opium production of Afghanistan has tripled since the U.S. invaded
in 2001. My guess is that the heroine trade from Florida and New
Orleans, north to New York is flourishing,
as that is a likely conduit point for the drugs coming out of the
Middle East.

am placing the Johnny Gosch abduction info here as a theory that
relates to the sex industry and organized crime.
The recent possibility/belief that journalist Jeff Gannon is Johnny
Gosch, coincides with the suicide(??) of Hunter S. Thompson:
http://educate-yourself.org/cn/goschgannohuntertrublingtale05apr05.shtml
Gonzo journalist, Hunter Thompson wrote a book called "The Strange and
Terrible Saga of the Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs" which chronicled his
living and riding with the HA in California. Paul Banacci (who admits
to having originally abducted Johnny Gosch) maintains that Hunter
Thompson was the camera man involved in a snuff movie made while
Banacci was involved with the pedophile ring that Johnny Gosch was
abducted into.
am convinced that we have now found generally who is doing the
majority of these things.
Most of the prostitution surrounds 'procurement' activities. Sometimes
it is young guys approached by older guys/richer guys "Get me some
drugs. get me some girls."(the younger the pimp, the younger the girls
he has access to , so some of the real young guys going missing are
probably small time drug pushers and pimps who have done business with
the wrong people and need to be shut up. Maybe somewhere along there
someone decided that gang 'hits' on people should actually be
profitable for the gang. Why just take someone out in a mob hit when
that person can actually be sold and then killed.)
These rich bastards get more sadistic. They are used to getting what
they want, when they want, and doing whatever they lwant to whoever
they want to do it to. So when they watch the porn, the VERY hard
stuff, they want more, then they want it made to order, then they want
the real thing. They ask around . They find a circle of people into it.
Girls who will be hurt for money. From there, they find
their way into the real monsters, the people who pay big money to kill
the girl's babies, drink their blood. Some girls think its a good way
to make drug money. Some have pimps or gangs push them into it, further
and further and further along. They can get girsl who ran away from
home at 13, spent a year in Jamaica, her pimps are moving her around.
They go where the money is. If there is a Superbowl or an Olympics or a
World Series or a big Stones gig, anything big and decadent that
attracts money, they want to be there with the young young young girls.
Thes eguys get connected. They collect girls like ranchers collect
horses, keep small groups of fed and groomed women addicted to drugs
working for them. The money in this is huge. These girls fry their
brains on drugs, forget who they are, where they are, even which city
or country they are in. They appear in porn flicks. They get tied and
whipped, locked in boxes, hung from ropes . Then they go back to the
hotel room.Then one night they get taken to someone who takes it all
the way , and they get tortured to death or burned alive. And their
owner gets a great big cash deposit into a new account that someone
gave them a password for the previous week. $200,000.
Welcome to the world of the ultra rich, the CIA , secret service, high
society adventure boys. They believe in living life as though it is one
big movie set.
Someone real high up has a lot of power. Their group is expanding ,
they manipulate things to make sure their choice for mayor or police
chief gets in, and competitors get destroyed. The money flows.
The bottom line is , this stuff is the the ultimate luxury. It takes
money.
Rich criminals. Rich period, are into this.
This is the anything goes world of the ultra rich, the Bushes, theCIA
adv Then these groups get addicted to it. they grow. They need more
girls.
Rich gays and pedophiles get into it. More and more people start
disappearing. Young men, children.The Hells angels are all ex- CIA drug
addicts and sadists who have lost it . The rich have private security,
private investigators, many of them ex police officers,ex marines, ex
CIA or CSIS or MI6 agents. They build up little private armies of these
people, and these people have friends. Soldiers, bikers, dealers,
pimps, mob contacts.
They help out. They have contacts in the govt.,police dept., coroner's
office. Investigations are shut down, people reassigned, people have
little 'accidents', people 'commit suicide' at surprising times. The
police start to give up.
The killings become more frequent, and the cults less selective about
their victims. Less careful, less demanding. So then just about anyone
will do as a victim, anyone who won't go missed , whose disappearance
won't be notable, who will not be protected, and who is considered
generally useless.
You want to find your killers, follow the money. Most of this is about
drugs and occult and pimping and total depravity.
Well, basically we have it all figured out now.
I think we now know what is generally happening to the majority of
these missing people. They 'disappear ' for a few days, then their
bodies
are found. The people taking them often work for various CIA
operations, CIA-connected biker gangs
and organized crime networks.

***********
Check out this information on the cult killings in Burgundy, France (a
medievil village full of ancient castles, including some owned the
Rothschild family)
This case began with the 1991 discovery of imprisoned and tortured
slaves, led to the discovery of several buried bodies, and involved
emerging evidence of a network that had killed possibly hundreds of
people.
It also featured a massive coverup, a deluge of destroyed evidence,
compromised judges, an investigator murdered. Sound familiar?)
http://www.crimelibrary.com/serial_killers/predators/auxerre/index.html
Joanna
On the morning of May 17, 1990, Patrice Bardot, an unemployed dustman,
traveled from his home in the French village of Monteau to the nearby
Yonne River for a day of fishing. Not long after he arrived he noticed
something floating in the water. Initially, he believed it was a
bobbing barrel, but as he drew nearer he was shocked to realize it was
a nude human body.
Bardot immediately flagged down a woman jogging on a nearby path and
alerted her of the gruesome find. The jogger then ran toward a caf?,
where the police were called. The authorities soon arrived and
conducted what would later be considered a terribly bungled
investigation.
The police cornered off a small section of land close to where the body
was found and began searching for clues. However, investigators ignored
a large portion of the surrounding area, most of which had been
trampled by police, emergency personnel, onlookers and vehicles.
According to an Expatica.com article by Graham Tearse, the secured area
was "released to the public just several hours later" and the following
day it was further trampled by children on a field trip. Had there been
any evidence, it was likely lost from the contamination of the crime
scene.
The body was withdrawn from the river and taken to a nearby hospital
for identification and autopsy. The woman was identified as 20-year-old
Joanna Parrish, who was from Gloucestershire, England. Joanna was
enrolled in a modern languages work/study program at Leeds University
and took a position as an assistant English teacher at a secondary
school in the nearby town of Auxerre. She was working on a bachelor's
degree in modern languages at Leeds University. At the time of her
death she was only one week away from completing her posting.
An autopsy revealed that Joanna had been drugged, tied up, raped,
beaten and strangled before being dumped into the river. It was
suspected that her body had been in the water only several hours prior
to it being found. Even though the body was discarded in broad
daylight, police were unable to find any witnesses. They believed that
whoever murdered Joanna was probably familiar with the area and could
have even resided in the immediate vicinity. Yet, police were unable to
produce any suspects.
According to Tearse, Joanna had a friend named Janet visiting from
Canada around the time of her death. Janet claimed that Joanna placed
an advertisement in a local newspaper offering English lessons. She
planned to use the money to fund a holiday trip with her fianc?e.
Investigators learned that a local man responded to Joanna's ad by
phone and was interested in hiring her to teach his teenage son. They
made arrangements to meet at 7 p.m. on May 16 at the town's square in
Auxerre. Tearse suggested that on that day, Janet joined Joanna on her
trip into town and they walked around for a while before they separated
at about 6:30 pm.
Joanna went to meet the man at the town square. It was the last time
Janet ever saw her again. Tearse said that Joanna never told Janet the
name of the man she was planning to meet.
Several weeks after her body was discovered, Joanna was buried in
Gloucestershire. Her parents, Roger and Pauline, went to Auxerre and
hired a lawyer to assist them in their gaining access to information
concerning the case from the magistrate and the police detectives. They
wanted to closely follow the investigation, hoping that it would
eventually lead to the apprehension of their daughter's murderer. Their
expectations were quickly shattered when they realized how inadequately
the case was being handled.
At the time, Roger and Pauline didn't know that their daughter's murder
was not an isolated case. In fact, there were many unsolved murders and
disappearances in the Burgundy region, most of which were grossly
mismanaged, completely ignored and even discarded. Many suspected that
high-level officials were trying to cover-up the fact that Burgundy had
an unusually high murder rate for such a tiny province. It was
something that could not be hidden for long.
Negligence
The investigation into Joanna's death was bungled from the beginning.
The crime scene was turned into a forensic disaster. Moreover, much of
the information gathered during the investigation was kept from
Joanna's family, who desperately tried to learn what advances were
being made in the case.
Tearse suggested that during a British inquest into Joanna's murder,
critical evidence was discovered that was ignored or overlooked by
French coroners. He claimed that a second autopsy, conducted by the
British, revealed several bite marks on Joanna's body. From a forensic
standpoint, bite marks are vital clues that can reveal information
about the killer because teeth, bite and jaw formations are
individually unique and can be easily matched. The revelation shocked
Joanna's parents who couldn't comprehend how something so obvious and
important could have gone unnoticed.
During the autopsy, medical examiners were able to obtain sperm
samples. It took two years for the samples to be analyzed, but the
results led to a genetic print. The DNA evidence was one of the biggest
clues in the investigation and Roger and Pauline hoped that it would
lead investigators to the killer. However, they were not so fortunate.
Tearse said, "investigators refused to call for voluntary DNA tests of
the local male population and continued to refuse to make a media
appeal for witnesses." It was another blow to the investigation and a
major disappointment for Roger and Pauline. Frustrated at the
incompetence of police, Joanna's family decided to take measures into
their own hands.
They family offered a reward for information into Joanna's death and
handed out leaflets in and around Auxerre and Mon?teau. They even
appealed to the British government for assistance. Even though they
were unsuccessful in getting help from the British government they did
manage to get some interesting responses to their leaflets.
Several people called offering some information directly concerning
Joanna's death. Roger and Pauline eagerly presented the new leads to
the French authorities. However, for some unknown reason the
investigators failed to pursue the tips.
Isabelle Laville, victim
Isabelle Laville, victim
The family members of other murdered victims in Burgundy responded to
the leaflets. Roger and Pauline learned that three other young women,
Isabelle Laville, 17, Danielle Bernard, 39, Sylvie Baton, 24, were
murdered near or in Auxerre between 1987 and 1990. Their families were
angered because they also felt as if the investigators were mishandling
the cases of their deceased loved ones.
Eventually, Roger and Pauline discovered that there were approximately
13 more unsolved murders and disappearances of women in the Auxerre
area over the last 30 years. Interestingly, investigators working on
Joanna's case never told them about the spate of murders, two of which
occurred within months of their daughter's death.
Roger and Pauline tried to obtain Joanna's case files so they could
bring in outside help to assist in the investigation. However,
investigators continued to deny them access to the documents. Even
though it seemed as if they were battling a lost cause, they refused to
give up in their search for evidence.
Among the 17 girls missing or found murdered were seven pupils from the
Medical-Educational Institute, a special needs school for handicapped
young women in Auxerre. The girls, 16 to 22 years old, were accounted
for in December 2000, when a former bus driver of the school made a
startling confession. Emile Louis, 68, admitted to police that he had
sex with the seven pupils and then murdered them sometime between 1977
and 1979.
When the girls first began to disappear, the police interviewed Louis
because he was known to have a history of sex offenses. However, they
did not pursue him for long and eventually he was disregarded as a
potential suspect. Eventually, the cases were dropped and the girls
were listed as runaways.
Emile Louis, mugshot
Emile Louis, mugshot
Louis continued to drive female pupils to and from school. It is also
believed that he continued to rape and kill them indiscriminately. He
would not be looked at as a suspect for almost another two decades.
Hugh Schofield's article Mystery of France's Missing Girls suggested
that there were similarities between many of the cases. He quoted
Corinne Herrmann, a French lawyer and author of the book The
Disappeared of the Yonne, stating that the girls were either mentally
handicapped, "or like Joanna far from home." Moreover, according to
Stuart Jeffries 2000 article for The Observer, witnesses were able to
place Louis near the spots where many of the victims were last seen.
Scene where bodies found
Scene where bodies found
Louis was caught almost two decades later when his daughter found items
in his house belonging to several of the victims. During his
confession, Louis told authorities that he buried the girls near the
Yonne River. Only the skeletal remains of two girls were ever
recovered.
Not long after his admission of guilt, Louis changed his story. He
claimed that he was pressured into giving false testimony and that he
actually didn't commit the murders. In a January 2002 article in The
Guardian by Jon Henley, Louis insisted that "the girls were routinely
abused and finally abducted and killed by a nebulous ring of men 'of
some standing, locally and in the region." Not surprisingly, Louis'
story was met with skepticism by local investigators.
Louis could not be charged with the murders anyway because under French
law it was considered unlawful to convict anyone of a murder 10 years
after a crime was committed. According to Jeffries, Louis was instead
"convicted for kidnapping, for which there is no statue of
limitations." The authorities believed Louis could have been involved
in some of the other murder cases, yet there was not enough evidence to
convict him.
One thing was for certain: Louis could not have been directly
responsible for Joanna's death. At the time of her murder, he was
serving a prison sentence for sexually assaulting a minor.
Nevertheless, Schofield suggested that a private investigation
conducted for 13 years by French police agent Christian Jambert, 56,
"clearly established that Louis was linked to all the women." It was
believed that he was affiliated with a sex ring operation that
prostituted, abused and even murdered many girls in the region,
possibly including Joanna.
Christian Jambert, victim
Christian Jambert, victim
Initially the authorities ignored Jambert's theories, but an incident
in 1984 led them to reconsider the idea that there was indeed a sex
ring in the area. That January, a 19-year-old girl was found wandering
the streets of Auxerre in a confused state. When the police picked her
up and questioned her she claimed that she was held captive in the
basement of a nearby house, where she was sexually abused and tortured.
The girl's testimony led the police to the home of Claude and Monique
Dunand, known friends of Emile Louis. Stuart said that when they
searched the house, they found another girl in the cellar, "naked and
suspended from a ladder by her wrists." He further claimed that for
approximately 15 years, local handicapped girls were lured to the
house, locked up, fed dog food and repeatedly raped and tortured by
invited guests. However, there was no indication that any of the girls
were murdered.
Claude Dunand was eventually convicted of kidnapping and given a life
sentence in 1991. His wife Monique received two years for accessory to
the crimes. According to Andrew Alderson and Kim Willsher's article 'I
Want Justice for Joanna,' Yonne crime reporter Ludovic Berger stated,
"Claude Dunand has always said that politicians, industrialists and
magistrates were involved but he has refused to name them." The article
further suggested that a list of at least 50 clients "rumored to
include several French 'notables' who paid to torture and abuse"
captive girls was discovered by police and handed over to the Auxerre
Courthouse. However, the list mysteriously disappeared from a courtroom
and has never been found.
It was not the only document that went missing. In fact, there were
more than 100 murder and missing person case files from between 1958
and 1982 that vanished from the courthouse. Moreover, the court ledger
documenting the investigations also vanished. It became increasingly
clear that someone was either trying to cover up the crimes or the
Auxerre Courthouse had a serious management problem.
Christian Jambert was almost certain he knew who was behind Burgundy's
rash of murders and missing person cases, and he was convinced that
Louis was one of the primary culprits. However, he also believed that
Louis was only one of many involved in the crimes. Jambert kept
meticulous notes and diaries concerning the cases, along with the
evidence he collected over the years. In 1997, he made preparations to
present his findings during a new inquiry. Yet, he never got the chance
to reveal what he worked so hard to acquire.
In August of that year, just several days before the inquiries were
scheduled to begin, Jambert was found dead in the basement of his
Auxerre home. An autopsy revealed that he died from a single gunshot
wound to the head. Medical investigators claimed that Jambert had a
history of depression. It was believed that his poor mental state
prompted him to end his life. His death was listed as a suicide.
By the late 1990s, the mounting scandal in Auxerre gained international
attention. People were shocked by the negligence exhibited in the
investigations and the fact that more than 100 files, mostly of missing
women, had gone missing from Auxerre's Courthouse. According to Harry
de Quetteville's January 2002 article in The Telegraph, the scandal was
"taken so seriously in Paris that Marylise Lebranchu, the French
justice minister, ordered a series of internal investigations."
Joanna's murder case was one of those selected for re-examination and
it was further linked with the inquiry into the seven girls Louis once
claimed to have murdered.
Not surprisingly, Joanna's parents welcomed the decision of a new
inquiry. They waited more than a decade for her investigation to be
reopened. BBC News Online stated that Roger, "was hopeful there would
be progress in the investigation and the potential capture of the
killer."
Investigators working on the case quickly realized that there was a
possibility someone tampered with Joanna's murder file. Witness
statements, which were obtained at the time of her murder, were missing
from her dossier. Moreover, important DNA evidence taken during the
autopsy also disappeared from the file for more than a decade before it
was found again.
During the investigation, it was suggested that Joanne and many of the
other girls that were murdered or missing were likely the victims of an
organized sex gang operating around Auxerre. Yet, because so many of
the facts were missing, there was not enough evidence available to
convict anyone.
The only exception was the case of the seven missing girls Louis
initially claimed to have murdered before retracting his confession.
Investigators continued to believe he was involved in their
disappearances and murders. A re-examination of his case was ordered,
with the hope of uncovering more evidence linking Louis or anyone else
to the girls.
Seven missing girls, victims
Many in the community believed that the murder cases were deliberately
ignored and the files stolen or destroyed because they implicated
high-level officials. Investigators re-examining the cases determined
that it was more likely that gross negligence on behalf of local
magistrates was to blame for the mishandling of the cases. In all
likelihood, it was probably a combination of both theories that
prevented anyone from being apprehended for the crimes.
In March 2002, four magistrates from Burgundy faced accusations of
gross negligence in the cases of missing and murdered women in their
region. The judges included former chief prosecutors Rene Meyer and
Jacques Cazals and former deputy prosecutors Daniel Stilinovic and
Bertrand Daillie. The men were ordered to appear before a panel of six
senior judges, who would review the cases over a three-day period.
According to a 2002 article by Susan Bell in The Scotsman, accused
magistrate Stilinovic admitted that "there were people who allowed
information to be stifled." He was further quoted saying "magistrates
tampered with procedures on behalf of people they wanted to protect. It
is a conspiracy at the very top." However, he maintained his innocence,
suggesting that he did not stifle any of the investigations. His peers
thought otherwise.
The panel returned a verdict in late March and found Stilinovic guilty
of negligence. He received the severest penalty and was dismissed from
his position. Cazals was also found guilty and transferred from his
prestigious post in Paris. Meyer, who was retired at the time of the
inquiry, was stripped of his honorary title after he too was found
guilty. Daillie received no punishment.
New Evidence
In August 2002, investigators found new clues during their inquiry into
Joanna's murder. They revealed that recently recovered DNA evidence
pointed to two men being involved in the rape and murder of Joanna. The
BBC News further stated in their article "Fresh Clues in Joanna Murder
Hunt" that new documents were found which indicated that police
arrested a suspect in connection with Joanna's murder early in the
investigation. Yet, he was released because of lack of evidence.
Investigators are continuing to follow up on the new leads, hoping that
it might result in the arrest of her killers. However, a great deal of
time has passed since her death and the chances of solving the crime
have significantly decreased over the years. Regardless, Joanna's
family and law enforcement officials re-examining the case have not
given up hope.
In April 2004, more new evidence arose concerning the suicide of
Jambert. According to Alderson and Willsher's article, Corinne Herrmann
received access to Jambert's files while she was conducting research
into the case of the Burgundy's missing and murdered girls. She became
suspicious of his death and believed he might have been murdered. She
just had to prove her theory.
Herrmann, author of Les Disparues D'Auxerre, convinced Jambert's
children to exhume their father's body so that another autopsy could be
conducted. After several days of examining the remains, the medical
investigators made a startling discovery. Alderson and Willsher claimed
that Jambert had been shot not once, but twice in the head making it
almost impossible for him to have committed suicide.
Herrmann's suspicions were proven correct and she persuaded area
magistrates to begin a murder inquiry. It was believed that his murder
was directly linked with the investigation on which he was working.
Even though investigators interviewed several possible suspects, no one
has yet been convicted for the crime.
Jambert's case, like Joanna's, is being pursued with more vigor than
ever before. Moreover, investigators continue to review the Louis case.
They are hoping to put an end to the disappearances and murders that
have plagued Burgundy for so many years. Moreover, they hope to restore
the reputation of the beautiful, medieval town that has attracted
visitors from around the world for centuries.
Emile Louis Trial
On November 2, 2004, Emile Louis' murder trial finally began in
Auxerre, France despite repeated attempts to throw out the case.
According to a November 3, 2004 AP Worldstream article, Louis' lawyers
requested that the case be delayed until after the European Court of
Human Rights ruled "on their bid to dismiss the case" because they
believed "the crimes took place too long ago for the case to be legally
valid." However, the court rejected the defense request and ordered the
resumption of Louis' trial.
The 70-year-old retired bus driver, convicted of the murders of seven
mentally handicapped women, continued to deny he was responsible for
the murders even though he confessed to them years earlier. It is hoped
that the trial will finally reveal the truth as to how the girls died.
The trial is expected to last four weeks. If convicted, Louis could
face life imprisonment.
The case is considered one of France's most controversial scandals
because the investigation was bungled and many of the case files
dealing with the girls' disappearances, as well as other cases of
murdered and missing women went missing from the Auxerre Courthouse. It
is believed that the files were destroyed in order to cover up a
high-level sex ring, which allegedly involved some prominent French
officials.
Auxerre Courthouse
AP Worldstream reported that, "more than 90 witnesses including
magistrates, social workers, police officers and family members of the
victims are to testify at the trial." Many other family members of the
victims are expected to fill the courthouse, in the hopes of seeing
Louis brought to justice after escaping prosecution for the murders for
approximately twenty-five years. The father of British student Joanna
Parrish, who was murdered in Auxerre in 1990, is also expected to be in
attendance.
Since the onset of the trial there has been an upsurge of media and
public interest, which has led to security concerns. Moreover, there is
concern for Louis' personal safety and the authorities want to prevent
the possibility of someone taking justice into their own hands. In
response, safety measures were taken to secure the perimeter around the
courthouse, Mie Kohiyama reported for Agence France-Presse. There is no
doubt that Louis is considered by many to be one of France's most
reviled citizens.

I was speaking today with a colleague, trying to
get myself inside the head of a blood-drinker,
and that of a rich and powerful blood-drinker at
that.
What strains the credulity of the average person is that they
cannot believe that 'respectable', 'intelligent', 'prominent'
people would engage in such things. Is it possible?
But to better understand , research the life of Benjamin Franklin for
some insight into the type of people I am referring to.
Benjamin Franklin was both ingenious and satanic.
In my research, the conclusion that I came to is that this belief
system is also prevalent among some of the most prominent,
prolific, and brilliant minds in the world.
Hence, the rich and powerful involved, and very willing both to provide
eachother victims and to help conceal the crimes.
Some of these people are worshipped for their genious.
Their genious is fed by evil, but their genious also produces
immeasurable wealth and knowledge to mankind.
The rich and powerful are heavily into hedonism. They recognize no
boundaries. Their quest is to achieve complete omnipotence, and these
people feel that they are performing A SERVICE TO HUMANITY each time
they ritualistically take a life. Each time they give a life surge to
the stronger among us.
That is why the ritual murder is termed a 'sacrifice'. They are willing
that humanity , (and the victim's loved ones) lose these people in
order that the stronger among us, the smartest, perhaps even the
ingenious, will gain , at any cost, greater fortitude, greater life
force, to perform their great works in the service of mankind.
This is also why the victims of this network tend to be the weaker
underlings, society's discarded, such as poor and uneducated
people/hitchhikers/ prostitutes. These are deemed to be the expendable
sector of society, the equivalent of beef cattle, in service to the
greater good of humanity.

(similar to satanic ritual torture of animals and people. Ancient
practice of drinking blood of tortured victims/animals in occult
rituals. Why?
The blood of the tortured is the most ancient narcotic , going back to
man's most primitive beginnings. The blood of the tortured is full of
natural opiates (endorphin pain-killers) secreted by the brain
into the blood stream. The blood of the tortured (animal or human) is
also full of adrenaline, the natural stimulant that is secreted into
the blood by the adrenal glands
for the 'fight or flight' response . Thus pain and fear produce a
harvest of opiates and stimulants from the glands of a mammal.
graphic video of kosher slaughter: http://tinyurl.com/y8zfu8
(note how this death chamber is crafted to generate maximum terror in
the animals.)
Standard north american plants immediately kill the animal with
a bolt through the head, far different from the kosher meat processing
depicted here. In this video, notice how the slaughter chamber is
crafted to provoke maximum terror among the animals, with the deafening
sound of several hellish machines operating simultaneosly and the
simultaneous death throes of several animals. Note how the machine
immobilizes the head of the animals while its voice box is ripped from
the throat with a hook after the throat is slit, to silence the animal,
then the machine squeezes the torso of the animal, its blood draining
into a grate
and the legs then mechanically crushed to prevent it from standing
while it dies slowly, . This is
conducted to produce maximum pain and terror. (notice that part
of the ritual is that if the animal makes eye contact with anyone
else other than the appointed throat cutter, they are to kick blood
into it's eyes.)
In occult rituals, the victim is tortured and their blood drained into
goblets.
This blood is immediately drinken because it provides an incredible
narcotic high.
Just like many popular narcotics are actually a mixture of opiates and
stimulants together (morphine and amphetamines) (codeine and caffeine).
This ancient practice created an addiction among it's proponents. It
became habitual, and also
imbued with spiritual meaning among the ignorant. Ancient man did not
understand why the blood of the tortured contained opiates and
stimulants, or why drinking this blood made him feel like a god. He
thought that this was his mystical connection with dark spirits, and
the narcotic high a reward by spirits for his cruelty toward his
I wonder how blood drinkers deal with these modern scourges of AIDS,
hepc etc.
ARe people known to be uninfected chosen? Maybe children or
babies in cases that they wish to use actual human blood? Do they have
access to the medical
records of victims? Access to blood lab records or testing facilities?
Somehow they are obtaining victims with clean blood.
In case that blood safety is in question , I would guess that, as
mentioned earlier, we can now synthesize same or even more
powerful endorphin and adrenaline , in the form of narcotic
mixtures,through plant-based opiates (endorphins) and stimulants
(adrenaline) . If the blood cannot be used in the ritual, then the cult
will use drugs.
I am willing to bet that there is still a higher than average incidence
of HIV among satanists, due to these factors. Especially back in the
early 1980's before public awareness and the attendant precautions.
My guess is that these rituals are often designed equally around
ministering to the hormonal/bestial needs of these people.
It is probable that those performing these acts feel that they
reach a physically satiated state from participating. The act of
committing the violence alone, under the proscribed ritual, does things
to their blood and brain chemistry from which they derive strength,
both spiritual and physical.
A good analogy I can think of is sport hunters and sport fishermen, and
especially sport fisherman, who unlike hunters, often release or
discard their catch. There is no logical reason to lure fish and
inflict pain on them, and then release them into the water. These are
not particularly sadistic people either. There is something primordial
and ancient about the life and death struggle of having a fish on the
line. It is struggling for its life, fighting, and one must in turn
resist its fight, in effect fight for one's life. Fight or flight
hormones are released into the blood.
Many people are addicted to the thrill of hooking a big fish, even if
they throw it back.
This is the adrenaline rush of the predator, of the hunter.
Some people watch horror films for the same reason. They get an
adrenaline rush from being frightened, and find that their sedentary
and secure life dulls them into not hormonally experiencing life's
daily struggle for survival. This is the adrenaline rush of the hunted.
These are both fight or flight hormonal rushes that people are
experiencing/achieving.
That of the hunter and that of the hunted. There may be a crucial
difference here. Satanists may be achieving a blood chemistry
conducive to physical stamina, even genius, through ritualistic
violence
(adrenaline rush of the predator) followed by blood drinking, or
perhaps the consumption of powerful narcotics containing both opiates
and stimulants. (Mick Jagger, a knighted Freemason of the highest
order, put out a record called 'Goats Head Soup', with a picture of a
goats head in a pot. He was also a notorious user of heroine, and one
of the Rolling Stones biggest hits is a song called 'Sympathy for the
Devil'.
Mick Jagger fits the exact profile of the satanic persona that I make
reference to .
Extremely wealthy, and revered, gifted and talented, at one point the
subject of mass adoration at its absurd extreme.
He achieved cult-status popularity. People worshipped him, and so he
accepted their offerings......a very good candidate for satanism,
to be recruited by the cult, to be made to drink human blood. He too
would be sacrificing something in participation, sacrificing his
morality
as part of the process, likely in the hopes of attaining greater
strength with which to reward his supporters, and earn their adulation.
Jagger would be just a tiny cog, one of thousands and tens of thousands
of prominent people who are 'dabbled' in the occult, dipped in the
blood.
I mention him here only because his occult past is fairly widely known.
What was not known until recently is the extent of occultism, and the
seriousness
of it practitioners: their extremism.

Burned bodies are sometimes connected with rituals involving child
sacrifice. The parents should be thoroughly investigated in any case
in which a body is found burned, especially that of a youth.
Burning the body is of course also a good means of destroying forensic
evidence thoroughly. You burn up any finger prints or fibres, and/or
conceal the type of injuries inflicted during the killing. I suspect
the fire department therefore plays a very large role in secret
societies.

be 'silencings' or people being 'being disappeared' because they knowsomething. Canada's justice system is really something too. How many of

Dutroux reveals that police helped in teens' kidnap
BY AGENCIES IN ARLON, BELGIUM
Marc Dutroux, whose face in court cannot be shown under Belgian law
Marc Dutroux, the Belgian paedophile, revealed today that police
officers helped him to abduct two young women whose bodies were later
discovered buried in his garden.
Testifying for the first time at his trial, Dutroux said that he
abducted An Marchal, 17, and Eefje Lambrecks, 19, with the help of a
heroin-addicted friend, who is also on trial, and two other men.
"I later found out they were members of the police force," he told the
court, without identifying them.
Dutroux, 47, a convicted paedophile, is testifying on the third day of
his trial in the small town of Arlon. He is accused of kidnapping,
imprisoning and repeatedly raping six girls in the 1990s, and killing
four of them.
His defence team says that he was part of a large paedophile network
that reached into the legal establishment.
Dutroux told the court: "It is regrettable that four people can never
come back. I cannot repair that. If I hadn't agreed to do what I did
they would probably be alive.
"I cannot accept all responsibility, but take responsibility for the
role I played."
Dutroux told the court that one of the police officers and his alleged
drug-addict accomplice, Michel Lelièvre, raped Ms Marchal after the
teenagers were kidnapped while on holiday near the Belgian coastal town
of Ostende.
But Dutroux denied murdering the two young women, who according to a
post-mortem examination, were most likely to have been drugged until
they were unconscious and then buried alive.
Dutroux said that he left the two young women with Mr Lelièvre and a
French accomplice, Bernard Weinstein, whom Dutroux has today denied
killing, after previously admitting to murder while in custody. The two
men planned to force the women into prostitution.
Dutroux told the court: "I never thought that they were going to kill
them. I find it a great shame that these girls died. It's a disaster."
Their bodies were discovered by the police in September 1996, buried in
the garden of a property belonging to Dutroux.
A month before, the brutally abused bodies of Julie Lejeune and Melissa
Russo, two eight-year-old girls, were unearthed from another Dutroux
property, along with that of Mr Weinstein.
Post-mortem examination reports showed that the children had starved to
death after being raped and beaten.

Olenka Frenkiel says:
In 1996 this woman came forward to tell the Belgian
authorities she'd spent her childhood years as the victim
of a paedophile network.
She described a world of organised sexual abuse, torture
and even murder.
It was terrible, you didn't believe your eyes and I didn't
believe that humans could do that.
She talked of violent child sex orgies with politicians,
judges and influential businessmen; a Belgian
underworld in which the establishment has refused to
believe.

investigate her claims has broken his silence.
He says the enquiry was blocked because it threatened to
reveal too much.

Olenka Frenkiel says:
In June 1996 this Belgian slum revealed a bitter secret
that would come to haunt the nation.
The eyes of the world watched in horror. Into the light
emerged two young girls.
Laetitia, aged fourteen and Sabine just twelve were the
latest in a long line of girls who'd gone missing.
Marc Dutroux, a convicted rapist and kidnapper, had led
the police to where he'd imprisoned them.
Relief swept Belgium as their tearful homecoming was
caught on camera.
But it soon turned to horror when police revealed the
secret cage hidden in the cellar of Dutroux's house.
The girls had been kept here, drugged and repeatedly
raped.
But what of Belgium's other missing children. Eight year
olds Julie and Melissa who were missing for more than a
year and twelve others who'd vanished mysteriously.
Was this a new lead in the hunt for them?
The hopes of their parents were soon dashed. Within
days Marc Dutroux led police to the site where the bodies
of Julie Lejeune and Melissa Russo were buried.
The parents were informed but when the Russos asked to
see their daughter, Melissa, for the last time, they were
refused.

Julie and Melissa buried in the garden of this house.
What's extraordinary to me is that though Dutroux's in
jail, he's never been tried for these crimes. It's as though
the judicial system froze when faced with having to bring
him to trial.
Officially Dutroux lived on benefits yet this house, now
derelict, was one of five that he owned.
The bodies of two more missing girls were found at
another of his houses- Efje Ambrecks and An Marchal.

I didn't believe that it was possible that children were
kept in, in a cellar and were raped and, and kept there,
until that Dutroux was, taken to prison and that he, that
he could see the cellar. At the moment I had to believe.
Olenka Frenkiel
Before the murders Marc Dutroux had already been
convicted of five charges of rape and kidnapping. Yet
somehow he'd served only six years in jail before he was
released back into the Charleroi underworld.
This was once Belgium's industrial heartland but today
its most famous industry is crime.
Dutroux melted back into this realm of prostitution, drug
traffic and stolen cars and began to plan his next project -
the kidnap of children.
For the parents now burying their murdered daughters
after more than a year of fruitless searching, this was not
the end of their nightmare. They would soon find out
that Dutroux had been a prime suspect from the start, yet
nothing had been done to save their girls.
Melissa's father is still asking why his daughter was
allowed to die.

"Ten days after the kidnapping of Julie and Melissa in '95,
three witnesses said it was Dutroux who was kidnapping
children. But they don't go looking for Julie and Melissa
at his house straight after the kidnapping. It's
inexplicable. And he continues to kidnap other children.
They put a special surveillance unit to watch Dutroux
and he continues to kidnap children. It's inexplicable;
the whole thing is inexplicable from start to finish."
Frenkiel says:
What is known is that Dutroux was finally caught when
his white van was identified. It had been used to snatch a
sixth girl, miles away from his home patch.
The man who arrested Dutroux was Jean Marc Conerotte,
an investigating magistrate. He became a national hero,
uniquely respected by the parents of the murdered
children.
Paul Marchal
"He is someone who want to know the truth. You can feel
it when you talk to him, you can feel that he want to
investigate, the he want to have the truth. He is a very
good magistrate."
Conerotte arrested Dutroux's associates. Among the first
was Jean Michel Nihoul.
Nihoul and Dutroux had been seen at the site of the latest
abduction the night before. They'd been in constant
phone contact the day it happened. And the next day
Nihoul gave ten thousand pounds worth of drugs to an
accomplice of Dutroux.
One witness claimed, Nihoul had ordered a girl.
Conerotte knew Nihoul had influential friends, he
suspected he was the brains behind a network supplying
clients with children to abuse. It's a charge Nihoul
denies.
Conerotte appealed to the public for information.
"When I saw him walking down the stairs, I thought that I
knew everything about him. It was a shock; I thought
finally they stopped him.
Regina Louf was one of the first to come forward. She
said that as a child she'd been abused for many years in a
paedophile network involving Nihoul and Dutroux.
I remember Jean Michel Nihoul as a very cruel man; he
abused children in a very sadistic way.
She says that at the age of twelve she was taken with
other children to sex parties. And, she told investigators,
Dutroux was there, working for Nihoul.
REGINA LOUF
"Dutroux was a boy who brought drugs, cocaine and
something like that, to these parties, who brought some
girls, watched girls at these parties. Nihoul, he, he was a
sort of party beast. Dutroux was more on the side."
Nihoul denies he's ever met Regina Louf. But her story's
never changed. Nihoul, she said, was one of those who
organised the parties and invited the cream of Belgian
society - judges, politicians and influential businessmen
in order to compromise them.
"It was big business, yeah and it was very well organised
too. There was a lot of money going on there and a lot of
blackmail also. They had a lot of parties; they filmed it
even. So, yes, yes, it exists. I know it sounds crazy and I
know that there is a big taboo on everything like that but
it exists."
Regina Louf's story was horrific. But her account of a
violent paedophile underworld was by now reinforced by
new witnesses, some of whom also named influential
people.
The investigation began. The witnesses' identities were
protected. Each was given a codename beginning with X.
Regina was X-1. They went up to X-9. Their testimonies
became known as Belgium's X-Files.
The task of trying to verify them fell to a young police
investigator.

"They were telling stories we hadn't heard before in our
lives. Things we couldn't believe at first. So we told
ourselves, is this true? Could this be true? And when it
is true it's very, it's very, it's frightening that things like
that could happen".
Rudy Hoskens
"We had a special room for the interviews. It was
specially kept for people who had been victimised by
such matters. There was a camera in the room. They
were done mostly in the evening or the early hours.
When the interviews were finished, they were written
down by a few people of my team, all the way from the
first word to the last, literally."
Frenkiel
But before the investigation could get under way there
was a bombshell.
Jean Marc Conerotte, the man who'd arrested Dutroux,
who'd saved the imprisoned girls, was sacked from the
case.
His removal caused a public outcry. Belgians lost faith in
their judicial system: Crowds descended on the Palace of
Justice and accused the courts of colluding with the
killers.

You're going to put in an investigating magistrate who's
never done the job before - can you understand that?"
Three hundred thousand outraged Belgians marched
through Brussels in a demonstration of grief and
solidarity. This White March was the largest protest the
country had ever seen.

Belgians felt that the dismissal of Conerotte was a
betrayal of Dutroux's victims, that it signalled the end of
any real search for a network.
The two rescued girls were overwhelmed.

The danger to Belgium's establishment was over. But
there was still no answer to the most important question -
was the catalogue of failures pure incompetence or had
Dutroux and his friends enjoyed protection?
Were they protected?
Aston
CLAUDE EERDEKENS MP
Commission member
Voice over
"On the question of protection we didn't discover much,
unless you count the best protection that Dutroux could
have had and that's the incompetence of Belgium's police
and judicial system."
Olenka Frenkiel
But Jean Michel Nihoul, the man suspected of hiring
Dutroux to kidnap children, was released from jail after
just five months. It's still unclear if he'll ever come to
trial and some members of the commission remain
convinced he is protected.
Vincent Decroly
"We succeeded in demonstrating that Nihoul was really an
artist in protection, really a specialised man in
manipulating enquiries, policemen and judges. We had
proof about that."
Olenka Frenkiel
Nihoul's release just left more unanswered questions for
the families. The mother of Melissa, Carine Russo, has
access to the legal evidence the court will bring against
Dutroux.
She's found no answers, nothing to clarify who stole,
raped and killed her daughter. All charges Dutroux
denies.
Carine Russo
Voice over
"Five years on there's still no admission from Dutroux.
There's no material evidence, no witness statements,
which state that it was Dutroux who really kidnapped the
children, who really raped them and who really killed
them."

Gino Russo
Voice over
"It's a catastrophe because nothing is anymore clear
today. Nothing is clear."
Olenka Frenkiel
The parents suspect Dutroux was not acting alone. That
others were involved in abducting and hiding the girls.
When he was briefly imprisoned for car theft in
November 1995, Dutroux claims to have left the girls in
his cellar, in this specially constructed cage with a little
food and water.
Olenka Frenkiel
On his release, after nearly four months, Dutroux claims
he'd found the children barely alive, that he tried to save
them but they died in his arms.
But for the Russos, this story can't be true.
Carine Russo
Voice over
"Four months incarceration of two little girls of eight
years old in a cellar in the middle of winter. But when I
say cellar it's a little hide built inside the cellar, so it's
tiny, three metres by two, even less. No windows,
completely dark, they cut off the heating."
Gino Russo
Voice over
They cut the electricity and heat.
Carine Russo
Voice over
And no food - for four months. Then he says when he
came out of prison four months later, they're still alive.
Well then they're superhuman. It's unimaginable two
children of eight holding out, alone, with nothing to
sustain them - no food, no heat, no human, no
psychological contact. Nothing. In a little cage like that
for such a long time and survive.
Olenka Frenkiel
So how did they survive so long? Did someone else keep
them alive?
The Palace of Justice in Liege is the seat of one of
Belgium's most powerful figures - Prosecutor General
Anne Thily, who's in charge of the case.
She says there's no evidence to contradict Dutroux's
version of how the children died.
So how did the children survive so long? Nearly four
months, until Dutroux was released from prison.

ANNE THILY
Prosecutor General
Voice over
No, no, Julie was dead. Melissa was nearly dead and
then she died. I think it was the next day.
But Melissa, how could she have survived nearly four
months?
Anne Thily
Voice over
Survive in what condition? In a lamentable state, she
was so weak she could not get up. That's according to
Dutroux of course; no one else was there.
Dutroux was acting alone. This is the mantra repeated
again and again in Belgium with a certitude that for the
victims' parents is inexplicable.
They believe that investigators have blocked every lead,
rejected every clue, which would reveal that Dutroux was
kidnapping girls for someone else.
Most painful perhaps is the autopsy report, which shows
Melissa had been repeatedly raped about two weeks
before her death, while Dutroux was in jail.
So who raped this child? Dutroux denies he raped the
girls.
But isn't it simple to find out if Dutroux raped them or
someone else - scientifically?
Carine Russo
Voice over
"Normally yes, in principal, yes. But in fact the most
elementary scientific tests, like DNA tests, the traces of
the culprit on the body of the child, were just not done."
Back in the Palace of Justice they say the DNA tests were
done but the results were inconclusive.
Can you explain why there was no DNA analysis done?
Anne Thily
Voice over
DNA analysis was done Madame!
Olenka Frenkiel
And the results?
Anne Thily
Voice over
Nothing.
Frenkiel
What does that mean? That there was no trace of sperm?
Anne Thily
Voice over
They were in a very putrefied state. It did not allow us to
make an analysis of that type, of sperm or anything.
Olenka Frenkiel
That's not what's written in the autopsy report. Again
the story doesn't square.
The bodies weren't severely decomposed. DNA can be
identified from samples taken long after death. The
question remains unanswered - why is there no DNA
result, might it have shown that someone else had raped
Melissa?
Other forensic tests that should have been routine were
just not done. Human hairs collected from Dutroux's
dungeon weren't sent for analysis.
The logic was strange. They claimed that as there was no
evidence anyone else had entered the cage, there was no
need to analyse the hair.
In five years Conerotte's successor has shed no light on
the abduction, imprisonment or death of the girls.
Jacques Langlois refused to be interviewed.
PAUL MARCHAL
Father
"Langlois don't believe in a sort of network. For Langlois,
Dutroux is the only one who used the girls. For Langlois
it's, it's simple; there's one raper, Dutroux, a closed case."
Frenkiel
By the Spring of 1997, evidence of a paedophile network
linked to the Dutroux affair was emerging from the
testimony of the X witnesses.
Regina Louf had provided investigators with details of
her childhood abuse, which they'd begun to check.
RUDY HOSKENS
Team Leader, Police
investigation
"In one of her testimonies she explained how a certain
person had been murdered in a certain place. So, we
went to look for that case, that old case, she described it,
where it happened more or less."
REGINA LOUF
"I remember it like it's a film in my head. I can close my
eyes and see every little detail of that house she was
murdered."
Olenka Frenkiel
Regina Louf described a house where in 1984 she said
she saw the torture and murder of a young girl. The
house was connected to an underground mushroom farm.
The building has since been demolished. But Rudy
Hoskens' team identified it and matched Regina's story
to an unsolved murder - that of fifteen year old Christine
van Hees.
Rudy Hoskens
"She gave us some details that made us think it's
impossible to give without having been there at that
place, or without having, yeah, lived that in the way the
body was found at that time and the way she described
the person was, was killed. There were some things that
were exact."
Regina Louf
"It was a sort of bondage, so her legs and her hands and
her throat were connected with the same rope and when
she moved she strangled herself, yeah."
Frenkiel
The credibility of Regina Louf's testimony hinged partly
on whether she really knew the house where Christine
Van Hees was killed.
This man grew up there, though his family sold it before
the murder.
It was two houses knocked into one with a unique
passage of stairs and corridors. No one, he says, could
describe it unless they'd been there.
Man
Voice over
"There was the corridor here between the two houses.
And she drew a picture of the doors inside. They were
antique doors and she drew the mouldings. She
described the wallpaper and the front step. I don't know
how she could have described it all so faithfully if she'd
never entered the house."
Man
Voice over
"I don't know Regina Louf; I've never even met her. All I
know is from her description of the house, of the
mushroom farm, my brother and I agreed, I'm sure, it's
certain she entered the mushroom farm. It's certain. "
Frenkiel
The police were now convinced they were on to
something. That Regina Louf's testimony was credible.
What's more it gave them a new link between Marc
Dutroux and the man accused of being his boss, Jean
Michel Nihoul.
In the year before her death, Christine Van Hees was a
regular visitor to the Brussels ice-rink where Marc
Dutroux also went.
He'd already been banned from the rink in Charleroi
where he was notorious for molesting girls. The manager
remembers it well.
Ice rink manager
Voice over
"And then I saw him with a young girl who was up against
the lockers like this. And Dutroux, who was in front of
her with his hands all over her like this."
So I grabbed him and pulled him back and brought him
over here. At that moment my father-in-law turned up
and when he found out what was happening he wanted to
hit him. So I grabbed his arm, otherwise he would have
punched him."
Frenkiel
When she wasn't skating Christine Van Hees used to
spend time in the building of a pirate radio station. It
belonged to Jean Michel Nihoul.
Both men, Dutroux and Nihoul, were at Christine Van
Hees's murder, according to Regina Louf.
And Dutroux was involved in the murder?
Regina Louf
"He watched it and he didn't do something, anything and
also he abused her that night, so, yes, he was involved."
How many people were there?
Regina Louf
"I still don't know for sure. But around eight."
Nihoul, Dutroux?
Regina Louf
"And a lot of others. So. But everybody except Dutroux
is free."
Oenka Frenkiel
Nihoul denied it. But her testimony was dynamite. If
true, it meant Dutroux and Nihoul were linked with
another murder. But then out of the blue the
investigation was stopped.
Rudy Hoskens
"We received a message that we couldn't investigate
anymore just like that. We were sent home. Just like
that, without an explanation because our work hadn't
been done all right. Very strange."
Olenka Frenkiel
Why were you taken off this case?
Rudy Hoskens
"I wish I knew. Perhaps we were touching something we,
we couldn't touch. Some people say this, we didn't have
the proof at that moment to say things like that but
perhaps we were coming closer to some things, yeah,
perhaps."
Olenka Frenkiel
Like what things?
Rudy Hoskens
I don't know, something Belgium or the world shouldn't
know about.
Olenka Frenkiel
Patric De Baets, the head of Hoskens' team, had been one
of Belgium's most respected police investigators. It was
he who'd taken Regina's testimony. Now he too was sent
home, accused of manipulating her evidence.
Patric De Baets, who questioned her, was accused of
planting some of the information so that she would
reproduce it. You watched that investigation. Was that
true?
Rudy Hoskens
No, no way. No way. We even had some magistrates,
judges and superior gendarmerie officers watching how
we interviewed and they watched it from the first to the
last moment and if we did, hadn't done it right at that
time, they should have said to us, don't work that way.
But they didn't tell us anything.
Olenka Frenkiel
For De Baets and his colleagues, charged with
manipulating an enquiry, a Kafkaesque battle now began
to clear their names.
They were suspended and Regina Louf got a call from a
member of the new team assigned in their place. His
motive was clear.
Regina Louf
"He said well, we have to search for mistakes you made
now and you have to prove now that you were right. I
said no, I don't have to prove that I'm right. You have to
investigate if I'm right or not. I'm not a police officer, I
can't do house search and I can't interrogate my abusers,
you have to do that. I just can tell my story and, and
make testimony, that's all I can do. He said wrong, you
have to prove it."

News about Regina's story began to leak out.
When the media took it up, it was to destroy her.

The flagship programme of the government funded
French language channel was unequivocal. De Baets was
guilty they declared and Regain Louf, a sinister and
deranged liar.
Claude Eerdekens
Voice over
I think Regina Louf is a pathological liar. She's a
woman who's invented scenarios that don't stand up to
scrutiny. It's all been shown to be fiction.
Olenka Frenkiel
Well no, not according to the investigators who were
sacked. They don't agree with you, they say they weren't
even allowed to investigate.
Claude Eerdekens
Voice over
No, that's not accurate. I continue to believe these men
did not do their jobs properly and that they let the public
think that what Regina Louf and the other anonymous
witnesses said was partly true. That's all a tissue of lies,
stories verging on the pornographic. They make no
sense.
Oenka Frenkiel
Weren't you manipulated? I mean people have said she
was completely mad; she invented the whole thing.
Rudy Hoskens
"Well some people fear, some people say this but they
weren't there. We lived all the testimonies, we've seen
them, we did the investigations. So, for ourselves, we
know what should have been right or what could have
been wrong. But when you don't, when you haven't
lived it, when you haven't seen everything, you can't give
an opinion on this, it's impossible. But we found some
things that should have been investigated more."
Regina Louf
"I am married for thirteen years, I have four children, I live
a normal life. I have a business of my own so I am not
crazy. We are labelled as crazy, we have a stigma, we are
stigmatised as crazy persons because we had the courage
to talk about things that happened in our past. With
person who played a role in the Belgian economy or
politics or something like that. It was easier to make us
crazy than to believe us."
Olenka Frenkiel
Despite its earlier investigating zeal, Belgium's
parliament now stood by as Regina Louf's testimony was
declared worthless. The judiciary announced it would
not be used in any trial.
Snf that might have been the end of it had the files of the
entire Dutroux investigation not been leaked.
Marie-Jeanne Van Heeswyck and two other investigative
journalists had access to every witness statement, every
police report in the Dutroux affair.
Their book on Belgium's X-Files shook the country.
Frenkiel
How did you get the information for the book?
Aston
MARIE-JEANNE VAN
HEESWYCK
Journalist
"We had the opportunity to see the whole police file on
the, the affair and the problem is that we wanted to be
sure that there was no manipulation between, behind that
because it's, it's always possible. So, we decided to meet
a lot of people who were named in the files, who were
witnesses in the file. And we met those people, without
saying that, what we knew already. And we listened to
their story."
Olenka Frenkiel
They found the new team had rewritten Regina Louf's
original statements. Testimony had been changed.
Marie-Jeanne Van Heeswyck
"We began to check it. And we began to read again all the
questioning of Regina Louf to see how they did that,
rewrite it. And one by one we discovered that the
gendarmes, police of De Baets, had pretended that De
Baets manipulate, had manipulated the investigation. So
everybody was tricked."
Olenka Frenkiel
To this day no evidence has ever been produced to
support the allegations against De Baets. Yet he
continues to be accused.
I met him and his colleague in a Brussels café.
Their careers are in ruins and the investigation into
Regina's story is dead. And yet two separate inquires,
cleared them of every charge that they manipulated her
testimony.
Patric De Baets
"I show you the final report of the internal inquiry of the
gendarmerie. It was made twenty-sixth June 2000."
Frenkiel
So what does this mean?
Patric De Baets
"That I'm not a bad policeman."
Olenka Frenkiel
But now that's cleared you, you face new, new charges,
new allegations, new accusations against you.
Patric De Baets
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid of that because I know the
conclusions will be the same.
Olenka Frenkiel
But why this constant barrage of accusations?
Patric De Baets
I don't know. I can imagination things but I can't explain
them.
Olenka Frenkiel
For six years the parents of the murdered girls have
grappled with the inexplicable. Why were their
daughters left to die? Why has Dutroux never come to
trial and why has every lead that might have revealed a
network behind Dutroux been blocked or ignored?
But Belgium's lost interest in their struggle. Today
anyone who talks of a network, even the parents, is
dismissed as deranged.
Paul Marchal
I talked in press about children who were raped and so on
and they started again with saying that I'm a little bit
foolish and that I'm fantasising. I'm sure that in several
years everyone will believe that networks will exist then
they have to accept.
Olenka Frenkiel
Since Marc Dutroux's arrest anyone who's questioned
the official line has been attacked. Every lead that might
have widened the net has hit the buffers.
Dutroux meanwhile has sat in jail. But outside, in the
shadowy circles in which he moved, potential witnesses
in the Dutroux affair have died in strange ways.
A police informer with links to the Charleroi underworld,
Jose Steppe, told a journalist he had explosive
information on Dutroux. Two days before they were due
to meet he died. His family believes he was poisoned.
Jean Paul Tamino was up to his neck in the Charleroi
underworld of stolen cars and prostitution. He was
summoned to see the Charleroi police and disappeared.
The day of Dutroux's arrest his foot was fished out of the
canal.
Regina Louf
"It's quite a coincidence that they die just before they want
to testify, you know, that's strange."
Olenka Frenkiel
Social worker, Gina Pardaens worked with abused
children. She'd identified the paedophile members of a
pornography ring who'd threatened her. When she
reported the threat to the police she was killed in an
unexplained car crash.
Francois Reyskens told a friend he'd seen one of the
missing girls, Melissa, alive in Holland. Before he could
tell the police his body was found crushed on the railway
line. (sound of Train).
Olenka Frenkiel
Some twenty people, all potential witnesses in the
Dutroux affair, have died in mysterious circumstances.
Regina Louf
"I survived it all, I don't know why. I survived my
abusers, I survived my testimony just because I said it all.
Why kill me now, you know, I'm mad."
Olenka Frenkiel
An uneasy peace has returned to Belgium. The streets
are calm; the danger of insurrection has passed.
The paedophile networks persist. Sometimes there are
even arrests. Earlier this year nineteen men from one
village were charged with child rape.
But the Dutroux affair has paralysed Belgium's judiciary.
After six years in jail, there is still no date for his trial.
When it comes, it will satisfy no one.
Paul Marchal
The trial of Dutroux, it will be a theatre, circus and I
don't want to be part of a circus. The truth is that there is
a network and that they have to search for that network so
that you can save other children in the future.

"In this country we will never get to the truth. There is
just too much truth that needs to be exposed. I am

children."
Regina Louf
"I did what I could do. I testified, I spoke up to the police,
to the judges, I spoke up to the press, you know, I yelled
it out. What can I do anymore now, I can't."

Children continue to go missing in Belgium. Dutroux's
arrest has made no difference. Last year it was more than
two thousand.
Fifty-two of those cases remain unsolved.

Latest on Canadian Pig Farmer, Robert Pickton's Serial Murder Trial:
Judge Steps Down
Published on Thursday, June 02, 2005 | Author MORRIS, Nick.
Justice Geoffrey Barrow of British Columbia Supreme Court, the judge
that was scheduled to preside over Canada's most prolific murder case
was replaced Wednesday just days into pre-trial proceedings.
Justice Barrow is stepping down from the trial of Robert Pickton, who
stands accused of at least 22 murders and is believed to be Canada's
most prolific serial killer.
Associate Chief Justice Patrick Dohm informed lawyers at a short
hearing that Justice Barrow cannot hear the case due to "scheduling
problems."
Dohm said he'll be replaced by Justice James Williams, who normally
sits in New Westminster's Supreme Court.
Pickton watched the events unfold as he appeared via a video link from
the pre-trial centre, where he is currently incarcerated. Dressed in a
black and grey shirt, he passively observed the scene in the courtroom.
Pickton viewed proceedings via video link.

Justice Barrow had only heard two days worth of arguments for and
against a strict publication ban on pre-trial proceedings, that has
been imposed on the trial. The hearing is due to resume on Friday and
lawyers have been informed that they will need to recap their views on
the ban. Dohm has said "The court will not lose any real time in this
change."
Pickton, a pig farmer from Vancouver's Port Coquitlam district has been
in custody since his arrest on 7 February 2002, following a lengthy
search of his farm and other properties he has owned. The search
revealed the remains of 15 bodies located on his farm.
In January of 2004 the remains of a further 10 women were found. In
total 31 separate traces of DNA have been found on Pickton's property.
Most of the victims are believed to have been vulnerable women working
in the sex-trade in Vancouver's seedy Downtown Eastside area. The first
woman to go missing from the area was Rebecca Guno, a prostitute and
drug addict, in June of 1983.
Since her disappearance, 61 women have been reported as missing from
the BC area. It was not until early 2002, 19 years after the first
woman vanished, that police made any charges in connection with any of
the disappearances.
After a few months of searching Pickton's pig farm, police charged him
with seven counts of murder. In September and October of 2002 he was
charged with a further eight counts of murder, following the discovery
of yet more remains on his property. DNA traces of another victim were
discovered on 9 January 2003, just days before Pickton's 13 January
pre-trial, but officers announced that they would not be adding any
further charges until afterwards, fearing that it would cause lengthy
delays to the case.
Crown prosecutor Mike Petrie and Pickton's defence lawyer Peter Ritchie
would not comment on the reasons behind the switch of judges and how
they felt about it, but the public opinion is one of surprise. Many
feel that problems such as scheduling should have been considered
before the preliminary hearing began. The general consensus was that
the trial would continue into next year.
Justice James Williams will preside over the restarted preliminary
hearing when it starts this Friday.

'On March 10, 2004, it was revealed that human flesh may have been
ground up and mixed with pork from the farm.
This pork was never distributed commercially, but was handed out to
friends and visitors of the farm.'

the way this system operates is that key people are put in key places.
For example
Republican (so-called conservative) Congressman Mark Foley was revealed
to be aggressively gay in pursuit of male teenagers and youth working
as pages in the house.
Then we find that he was placed in positions to influence policy
in certain ways:

'Foley played a leadership role on AIDS issues, supported the
Employment Not-Discrimination Act, opposed anti-gay provisions of
faith-based legislation, and voted against the Federal Marriage

He also co-chaired the Congressional Missing and Exploited Children's
Caucus and helped to write much of the legislation regarding
prosecution of pedophiles and child pornographers.'

Pickton Murders
The lawyer representing U.S. television stations said he does
not believe the publication ban covers the Internet.
But the stations have said they will black out transmissions
to Canada.
RCMP Const. Katherine Galliford said "police will be watching
for violations of the publication ban." She goes on to say
"And if there are any concerns that come to light we'll
certainly investigate that further," Mentioning nothing about
possible connections to missing children, or other serial
killers involved in satanic cults reaching at least from
Mission to Vancouver. She makes no comment that the police
have stood down their watch on the Vancouver East Side.
In May 2005, Crown attorneys added 12 more first-degree murder
charges against Pickton, bringing the grim total to 27.
Rebecca Guno, a drug addict and prostitute, vanished from
Vancouver's downtown eastside in June 1983. Her name was the
first of 61 that would eventually be placed on the list of
women to disappear mysteriously from the drug-infested area
over the two decades that followed.
It wasn't until 19 years later, early in 2002, that charges
were laid in any of the cases. The charges came not long after
police focused their efforts on a farm in Port Coquitlam,
outside Vancouver. Dozens of officers scoured the farm in
search of evidence.
Within months, the owner of that farm, 53-year-old Robert
William Pickton, would face seven murder charges.
September 1998: - Vancouver police set up a team to review
files of up to 40 women missing as far back as 1971. One
tracked down, deaths of two others from illeness, overdose,
confirmed but no trace of many others.
In July 2002, police made a plea for the public's help in
locating nine more missing women, and said that if they cannot
be found, their names will be added to the list of 54 other
women who are missing.
In the spring of 1999, two Vancouver detectives teamed up with
two RCMP detectives to review the file pertaining to the 31
missing women. In August of that year police began
investigating an account by a woman, not a prostitute, who
said that a man snatched her from the stairwell of a hotel in
Vancouver's downtown eastside. The woman jumped from her
captor's moving vehicle to escape.
Accusations that police haven't done enough reached a fever
pitch when former detective and geographic profiler Kim Rossmo
claimed he told police that a serial killer was at work in the
Vancouver area and was ignored. Rossmo said that
disappearances from the neighborhood were normal, but that the
number of incidents was abnormally high between 1995 and 1998.
"If these activities go back to, say, 1995, seven years ago,
some of (the victims) could be buried fairly deep," says
former Vancouver police officer Kim Rossmo, an expert in
serial killers. Contrary to his earlier statment for some
unknown reason, he later says,"Now, one factor to the benefit
of the police is criminals are lazy, so they're not going to
be 40 feet below the surface,"
Rossmo, who sued the Vancouver department for wrongful
dismissal when they failed to renew his contract, claimed that
a single predator was responsible for killing prostitutes in
downtown Vancouver. The Vancouver department dismissed his
claims as sour grapes.
In 1998 I was introduced to Willy Pickton by a local Freemason
West Baker. "Be careful, not everyone that has gone down that
road has come back" was the ominous warning he gave me, he
also warned me to stay out of the pig barn after 11:00 pm, or
I would be horrified at what I saw, as Willy liked to butcher
all different kinds of animals, in all different ways, like a
Nazi doctor experimenting on Jews might. At first it seemed
there was very little out of the ordinary, except the saturday
"cock fights", and the all night orgies and strange foods at
"Piggies Palace" however, after the news broke in 2002, creepy
things just outside of my awareness started to make a whole
lot more sense, and I, having done business there, was
publicly requested to give a statment to the police. So I
attended a series of interviews with the police "Missing
women's task force" regarding the matter and submitted my dna
sample as requested, spent hours under the lights and camera,
almost as if I was on the spot. I was assured my dna would
only be used in this case, I found this to be untrue, much
later. I noticed something strange about the whole thing
though. Appathy. They didn't seem to care about the
implications of what I said, they were more interested in what
I knew, they didn't seem to have the humanity, they were
strangly detached, so I tested them a little, and found them
not interested in the victims, or the truth behind the
implications. I suggested, perhapse they start a missing
children's task force, they thought that was funny, their
micro expressions gave that away, though they didn't laugh.
All of a sudden, it dawned on me, their in on it, the
vancouver police were rounding them up, and Willy Pickton who
dealt with them on a weekly basis, (he had an inside track on
abandoned vehicles), was getting another cleanup contract, all
the girls who were robbing the other drug addicts, instead of
normal citizens, and were unable to re-pay their dealers, and
had deteriorated (look at their faces) to a point as to be
useless as prostitutes, were flaged by the Hell's Angels.
Delivered to the farm in abandoned vehicles, and proccessed by
Willy who was a mechanic, and a butcher. I realised the
taskforce was compromised some how, so I pretended to still be
their friend, and conducted my own investigation. As my own
investigations, and "interviews" later revieled, the victim's
thyroid glands, adrenaline glands, and other "Delacacies" were
extracted from the dead, or sometimes still living beings,
before the rest was put through a wood chipper, and fed to the
"Piggies" Willy called them. Before the Media Ban, the Mayor
of Port Coquitlam admitted to dining at a farm also owned by
the Picktons, just down the road from Dominion St, there is an
ominous quancet, on Burns Road the infamous "Piggies Palace".
There were blood rituals there, adrenaline glands as
appatizers, next to the cocaine dishes, during an all night
orgy, the girls not yet ready to be served were kept captive
at another location, and brought out as they were needed, for
what ever purpose...so... here I am, kind of the odd man out
so to speak, surrounded by vampyres, from dusk till dawn, so
to speak with no real idea what was going on until much later.
Politicans connected to Hell's Angels, connected to free
Masons, oddfellows, illuminati, witches, warlocks, satanists,
police, my "friends". Judges that put the media ban on this
are in league with them as well too, Conrad Black owns all of
our media, is a buildiberger. It would seem that these secret
societies run our whole world, and they eat us too. Well, I
really didn't expect to find this but I did. After the horror
I saw, it will be a release if they come to kill me, cause I
havn't even got to the best part yet, the tunnels. More of the
missing woman and children should be found in the old train
tunnels of New Westminster, than run deep underground to
vancouver and to coquitlam, where they are blood fed, and put
to use as required, people often hear them under the city, in
the sewers, and under the stores along Front St. women
sobbing, children crying, they are believed to be ghosts when
heard, so people back track real quick, and never made the
true discovery yet, but I did. Take a walk in the old
abandoned train tunnel at waterfront station in Vancouver if
you want to meet them. Most of those people are no longer
people anymore, they would kill a person who tryed to save
them, like a cat raised in an apartment, they would run from
an open door to freedom. The royal engineers from old
Westminster in England, brought these tunneling practices from
their country over here, as well as their secret societies,
and did their merlin black magic rituals with them.
Some of those people in the tunnels, have been born and raised
there, and they eat their dead. I just don't think social
services can handle that kind of rehabilitation, I don't know
just what we should do, it would appear if you follow the
traces, back through the Freemasons and such...I bet even the
Queen is blood fed...no wonder heaven won't help us. Somehow
Dave pickton got the contract to demolish and excavate
Woodlands Insane Assylum, fitting, he has experience
excavating mass unmarked graves, who else would the city of
New Westmonster call. Did you ever wonder where all of those
in-patients from RiverView and Woodlands went?? They did't
just release 500 insane people... did they? P and B Used
Building Supplies, and P and B Salvage are just two of the
companies owned by Dave and family. I heard another recent
little tid bit from the Pickton's self proclaimed "good
friend" of 25 years, West Baker, who runs the surplus store
623 front street, New Westminster, who has 200 institutional
meal trays in his back store-room (for some reason), and an
access tunnel to the underground cattacombs of New West, who
has strong connections (sells them explosives such as live
grenades) with local Nazi activists, (Dale you know who you
are) who also lives commonlaw with Kathy Arcand, Dave
Pickton's Ex-Goulfriend. West claimes that Willy Pickton owns
all the land that the Picktons still hold, they just switched
around the titles and holdings, and the fun loving Willy is
ripping us tax payers off for a team of lawyers that he
doesn't pay for, so when they all help him get away with it
too, like they did when he went to trial in 1994 for stabbing
a prostitute in the back several times, she managed the knife
away from him and slit his throat in self defence, so he got
off... So i'ts business as usual, Dave wont even speak to
Willy, because he doesn't want to blow their cover. Dave goes
to Sturges, where they make their plans for September... As
for this going on elseware, I think all the world should check
very carefully for strange things in the cattacombs and
tunnels of their cities, you never know, there could be
someones loved one there, waiting for the light of day.

Hells Angels
The Hells Angels actually have a direct connection & origin with Skull
n' Bones.
It might seem bizarre but here it is:
The Hells Angels in the early days were made up in large part of
Vietnam War veterans, who brought back with them their penchant for
opium trafficking. There was a huge illicit drug trade component to the
Korean and Vietnamese wars. A good Hollywood film about this is the
film Air America starring Mel Gibson (1990) about the CIA's private
airline, and their drug smuggling operations in Cambodia (CIA sold
drugs and guns in Laos during the Vietnam War to finance its secret
operations in SouthEast asia)
Anyway, there are some who say the Vietnam War was exactly what JFK
thought it was and tried to prevent: an unecessary war that turned out
to be nothing more than a gigantic arms dealer / drug lord scam foisted
on the American people. The war meant tens of billions to American gun,
armaments, chemical weapons, and munitions dealers, not to mention drug
lords, and when JFK threatened to disband the CIA and cease their plans
for the war in Vietnam, it was one of the reasons that the CIA
assassinated JFK.
watch JFKII on Google video for an excellent recap of why JFK was
killed and who did it.
Anyway, the Hells Angels was composed largely of 'retired' and
drug-addicted Vietnam-era CIA operatives and cocaine-snorting war
veterans.(burnouts) who had lived their entire careers /lives
outside/above the law during their varous oversees and domestic
adventures. They were not a very pleasant group of people . George Bush
Senior and his CIA skull n' Bones clan assassinated JFK & launched the
Vietnam War under Lyndon B. Johnson. The Hells Angels have always been
a distribution conduit/network for illegal drugs imported by the CIA
into NA. (Guess they were sick of letting the Italian mafiosos make all
the money! so they let their fellow Bonesmen's friends and CIA running
dogs take over a lot of the street traffic.
So, now you know why the Angels always seem to be connected with this
occult stuff. They are called 'Hells'' Angels for a reason, you know!
To get up to speed on the whole JFK thing watch the following
film online here: http://tinyurl.com/yfja2y JFK II
and also rent Oliver Stone's 1991 film 'JFK', starring Kevin Costner as
chief prosecutor .
I have little doubt now that many of these 'serial murders' throughout
the christian world, are actually ritual rapes and blood-drinkings and
burnings carried out by Skull n' Bones -type cults, involving
essentially the most dangerous and brazen and deadly people in the
world: the Secret Services and Intellegencia at the pinnacle of the
world's political and economic elite..
It could be that these bodies are being discarded from flying planes in
the same that these planes do regular drug drops.
actually my background on the Hell's Angels was not quite accurate, in
that it implied that the Hell's Angels formed only after the Vietnam
War.
The gang actually had its roots from the Korean war, because a big part
of the CIA role in the wars in both Korea and Vietnam were about
trading guns for drugs. Exporting guns to SouthEast asia, to BOTH
sides, often in exchange for drugs to be brought back to the U.S. via
Air America, the CIA's unofficial airforce. After all, how are you
going to start a profitable war in Asia, selling guns to both sides, if
a lot of people cannot even afford to buy your guns? The solution was
to trade guns for drugs, to link up with the drug mafias in Asia. Fly
tons of guns and ammunition into S.E. Asia, and on the same planes fly
back tons of drugs , (cocaine and heroine and hashish you name it) into
the United States. (usually the west coast, which is part of the reason
LeftCoast Lotusland has its reputation as a druggie haven)
The CIA needed a conduit for taking delivery of the drugs in the U.S. ,
and this is where the Hells Angels had their beginnings.
Even the corpses of returning Vietnam War soldiers were packed with
heroine and cocaine.
When the Vietnam War ended, the CIA started up their adventures in
South America, mainly because that was their business, and the end of
the Vietnam War meant they needed a new gig. Their business was and is
to start wars in drug-producing regions, and trade armaments for drugs
to be imported into the U.S. and other countries.
I am sure there were more than a few incidents of bikers and mafia
harrassing or ordering hits on Vietnam War protesters and peace
activists.
Anyway, the same pattern has continued to this day.
The opium production of Afghanistan has tripled since the U.S. invaded
in 2001. My guess is that the heroine trade from Florida and New
Orleans, north to New York is flourishing,
as that is a likely conduit point for the drugs coming out of the
Middle East.

am placing the Johnny Gosch abduction info here as a theory that
relates to the sex industry and organized crime.
The recent possibility/belief that journalist Jeff Gannon is Johnny
Gosch, coincides with the suicide(??) of Hunter S. Thompson:
http://educate-yourself.org/cn/goschgannohuntertrublingtale05apr05.shtml
Gonzo journalist, Hunter Thompson wrote a book called "The Strange and
Terrible Saga of the Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs" which chronicled his
living and riding with the HA in California. Paul Banacci (who admits
to having originally abducted Johnny Gosch) maintains that Hunter
Thompson was the camera man involved in a snuff movie made while
Banacci was involved with the pedophile ring that Johnny Gosch was
abducted into.
am convinced that we have now found generally who is doing the
majority of these things.
Most of the prostitution surrounds 'procurement' activities. Sometimes
it is young guys approached by older guys/richer guys "Get me some
drugs. get me some girls."(the younger the pimp, the younger the girls
he has access to , so some of the real young guys going missing are
probably small time drug pushers and pimps who have done business with
the wrong people and need to be shut up. Maybe somewhere along there
someone decided that gang 'hits' on people should actually be
profitable for the gang. Why just take someone out in a mob hit when
that person can actually be sold and then killed.)
These rich bastards get more sadistic. They are used to getting what
they want, when they want, and doing whatever they lwant to whoever
they want to do it to. So when they watch the porn, the VERY hard
stuff, they want more, then they want it made to order, then they want
the real thing. They ask around . They find a circle of people into it.
Girls who will be hurt for money. From there, they find
their way into the real monsters, the people who pay big money to kill
the girl's babies, drink their blood. Some girls think its a good way
to make drug money. Some have pimps or gangs push them into it, further
and further and further along. They can get girsl who ran away from
home at 13, spent a year in Jamaica, her pimps are moving her around.
They go where the money is. If there is a Superbowl or an Olympics or a
World Series or a big Stones gig, anything big and decadent that
attracts money, they want to be there with the young young young girls.
Thes eguys get connected. They collect girls like ranchers collect
horses, keep small groups of fed and groomed women addicted to drugs
working for them. The money in this is huge. These girls fry their
brains on drugs, forget who they are, where they are, even which city
or country they are in. They appear in porn flicks. They get tied and
whipped, locked in boxes, hung from ropes . Then they go back to the
hotel room.Then one night they get taken to someone who takes it all
the way , and they get tortured to death or burned alive. And their
owner gets a great big cash deposit into a new account that someone
gave them a password for the previous week. $200,000.
Welcome to the world of the ultra rich, the CIA , secret service, high
society adventure boys. They believe in living life as though it is one
big movie set.
Someone real high up has a lot of power. Their group is expanding ,
they manipulate things to make sure their choice for mayor or police
chief gets in, and competitors get destroyed. The money flows.
The bottom line is , this stuff is the the ultimate luxury. It takes
money.
Rich criminals. Rich period, are into this.
This is the anything goes world of the ultra rich, the Bushes, theCIA
adv Then these groups get addicted to it. they grow. They need more
girls.
Rich gays and pedophiles get into it. More and more people start
disappearing. Young men, children.The Hells angels are all ex- CIA drug
addicts and sadists who have lost it . The rich have private security,
private investigators, many of them ex police officers,ex marines, ex
CIA or CSIS or MI6 agents. They build up little private armies of these
people, and these people have friends. Soldiers, bikers, dealers,
pimps, mob contacts.
They help out. They have contacts in the govt.,police dept., coroner's
office. Investigations are shut down, people reassigned, people have
little 'accidents', people 'commit suicide' at surprising times. The
police start to give up.
The killings become more frequent, and the cults less selective about
their victims. Less careful, less demanding. So then just about anyone
will do as a victim, anyone who won't go missed , whose disappearance
won't be notable, who will not be protected, and who is considered
generally useless.
You want to find your killers, follow the money. Most of this is about
drugs and occult and pimping and total depravity.
Well, basically we have it all figured out now.
I think we now know what is generally happening to the majority of
these missing people. They 'disappear ' for a few days, then their
bodies
are found. The people taking them often work for various CIA
operations, CIA-connected biker gangs
and organized crime networks.

Check out this information on the cult killings in Burgundy, France (a
medievil village full of ancient castles, including some owned the
Rothschild family)
This case began with the 1991 discovery of imprisoned and tortured
slaves, led to the discovery of several buried bodies, and involved
emerging evidence of a network that had killed possibly hundreds of
people.
It also featured a massive coverup, a deluge of destroyed evidence,
compromised judges, an investigator murdered. Sound familiar?)
http://www.crimelibrary.com/serial_killers/predators/auxerre/index.html
Joanna
On the morning of May 17, 1990, Patrice Bardot, an unemployed dustman,
traveled from his home in the French village of Monteau to the nearby
Yonne River for a day of fishing. Not long after he arrived he noticed
something floating in the water. Initially, he believed it was a
bobbing barrel, but as he drew nearer he was shocked to realize it was
a nude human body.
Bardot immediately flagged down a woman jogging on a nearby path and
alerted her of the gruesome find. The jogger then ran toward a caf?,
where the police were called. The authorities soon arrived and
conducted what would later be considered a terribly bungled
investigation.
The police cornered off a small section of land close to where the body
was found and began searching for clues. However, investigators ignored
a large portion of the surrounding area, most of which had been
trampled by police, emergency personnel, onlookers and vehicles.
According to an Expatica.com article by Graham Tearse, the secured area
was "released to the public just several hours later" and the following
day it was further trampled by children on a field trip. Had there been
any evidence, it was likely lost from the contamination of the crime
scene.
The body was withdrawn from the river and taken to a nearby hospital
for identification and autopsy. The woman was identified as 20-year-old
Joanna Parrish, who was from Gloucestershire, England. Joanna was
enrolled in a modern languages work/study program at Leeds University
and took a position as an assistant English teacher at a secondary
school in the nearby town of Auxerre. She was working on a bachelor's
degree in modern languages at Leeds University. At the time of her
death she was only one week away from completing her posting.
An autopsy revealed that Joanna had been drugged, tied up, raped,
beaten and strangled before being dumped into the river. It was
suspected that her body had been in the water only several hours prior
to it being found. Even though the body was discarded in broad
daylight, police were unable to find any witnesses. They believed that
whoever murdered Joanna was probably familiar with the area and could
have even resided in the immediate vicinity. Yet, police were unable to
produce any suspects.
According to Tearse, Joanna had a friend named Janet visiting from
Canada around the time of her death. Janet claimed that Joanna placed
an advertisement in a local newspaper offering English lessons. She
planned to use the money to fund a holiday trip with her fianc?e.
Investigators learned that a local man responded to Joanna's ad by
phone and was interested in hiring her to teach his teenage son. They
made arrangements to meet at 7 p.m. on May 16 at the town's square in
Auxerre. Tearse suggested that on that day, Janet joined Joanna on her
trip into town and they walked around for a while before they separated
at about 6:30 pm.
Joanna went to meet the man at the town square. It was the last time
Janet ever saw her again. Tearse said that Joanna never told Janet the
name of the man she was planning to meet.
Several weeks after her body was discovered, Joanna was buried in
Gloucestershire. Her parents, Roger and Pauline, went to Auxerre and
hired a lawyer to assist them in their gaining access to information
concerning the case from the magistrate and the police detectives. They
wanted to closely follow the investigation, hoping that it would
eventually lead to the apprehension of their daughter's murderer. Their
expectations were quickly shattered when they realized how inadequately
the case was being handled.
At the time, Roger and Pauline didn't know that their daughter's murder
was not an isolated case. In fact, there were many unsolved murders and
disappearances in the Burgundy region, most of which were grossly
mismanaged, completely ignored and even discarded. Many suspected that
high-level officials were trying to cover-up the fact that Burgundy had
an unusually high murder rate for such a tiny province. It was
something that could not be hidden for long.
Negligence
The investigation into Joanna's death was bungled from the beginning.
The crime scene was turned into a forensic disaster. Moreover, much of
the information gathered during the investigation was kept from
Joanna's family, who desperately tried to learn what advances were
being made in the case.
Tearse suggested that during a British inquest into Joanna's murder,
critical evidence was discovered that was ignored or overlooked by
French coroners. He claimed that a second autopsy, conducted by the
British, revealed several bite marks on Joanna's body. From a forensic
standpoint, bite marks are vital clues that can reveal information
about the killer because teeth, bite and jaw formations are
individually unique and can be easily matched. The revelation shocked
Joanna's parents who couldn't comprehend how something so obvious and
important could have gone unnoticed.
During the autopsy, medical examiners were able to obtain sperm
samples. It took two years for the samples to be analyzed, but the
results led to a genetic print. The DNA evidence was one of the biggest
clues in the investigation and Roger and Pauline hoped that it would
lead investigators to the killer. However, they were not so fortunate.
Tearse said, "investigators refused to call for voluntary DNA tests of
the local male population and continued to refuse to make a media
appeal for witnesses." It was another blow to the investigation and a
major disappointment for Roger and Pauline. Frustrated at the
incompetence of police, Joanna's family decided to take measures into
their own hands.
They family offered a reward for information into Joanna's death and
handed out leaflets in and around Auxerre and Mon?teau. They even
appealed to the British government for assistance. Even though they
were unsuccessful in getting help from the British government they did
manage to get some interesting responses to their leaflets.
Several people called offering some information directly concerning
Joanna's death. Roger and Pauline eagerly presented the new leads to
the French authorities. However, for some unknown reason the
investigators failed to pursue the tips.
Isabelle Laville, victim
Isabelle Laville, victim
The family members of other murdered victims in Burgundy responded to
the leaflets. Roger and Pauline learned that three other young women,
Isabelle Laville, 17, Danielle Bernard, 39, Sylvie Baton, 24, were
murdered near or in Auxerre between 1987 and 1990. Their families were
angered because they also felt as if the investigators were mishandling
the cases of their deceased loved ones.
Eventually, Roger and Pauline discovered that there were approximately
13 more unsolved murders and disappearances of women in the Auxerre
area over the last 30 years. Interestingly, investigators working on
Joanna's case never told them about the spate of murders, two of which
occurred within months of their daughter's death.
Roger and Pauline tried to obtain Joanna's case files so they could
bring in outside help to assist in the investigation. However,
investigators continued to deny them access to the documents. Even
though it seemed as if they were battling a lost cause, they refused to
give up in their search for evidence.
Among the 17 girls missing or found murdered were seven pupils from the
Medical-Educational Institute, a special needs school for handicapped
young women in Auxerre. The girls, 16 to 22 years old, were accounted
for in December 2000, when a former bus driver of the school made a
startling confession. Emile Louis, 68, admitted to police that he had
sex with the seven pupils and then murdered them sometime between 1977
and 1979.
When the girls first began to disappear, the police interviewed Louis
because he was known to have a history of sex offenses. However, they
did not pursue him for long and eventually he was disregarded as a
potential suspect. Eventually, the cases were dropped and the girls
were listed as runaways.
Emile Louis, mugshot
Emile Louis, mugshot
Louis continued to drive female pupils to and from school. It is also
believed that he continued to rape and kill them indiscriminately. He
would not be looked at as a suspect for almost another two decades.
Hugh Schofield's article Mystery of France's Missing Girls suggested
that there were similarities between many of the cases. He quoted
Corinne Herrmann, a French lawyer and author of the book The
Disappeared of the Yonne, stating that the girls were either mentally
handicapped, "or like Joanna far from home." Moreover, according to
Stuart Jeffries 2000 article for The Observer, witnesses were able to
place Louis near the spots where many of the victims were last seen.
Scene where bodies found
Scene where bodies found
Louis was caught almost two decades later when his daughter found items
in his house belonging to several of the victims. During his
confession, Louis told authorities that he buried the girls near the
Yonne River. Only the skeletal remains of two girls were ever
recovered.
Not long after his admission of guilt, Louis changed his story. He
claimed that he was pressured into giving false testimony and that he
actually didn't commit the murders. In a January 2002 article in The
Guardian by Jon Henley, Louis insisted that "the girls were routinely
abused and finally abducted and killed by a nebulous ring of men 'of
some standing, locally and in the region." Not surprisingly, Louis'
story was met with skepticism by local investigators.
Louis could not be charged with the murders anyway because under French
law it was considered unlawful to convict anyone of a murder 10 years
after a crime was committed. According to Jeffries, Louis was instead
"convicted for kidnapping, for which there is no statue of
limitations." The authorities believed Louis could have been involved
in some of the other murder cases, yet there was not enough evidence to
convict him.
One thing was for certain: Louis could not have been directly
responsible for Joanna's death. At the time of her murder, he was
serving a prison sentence for sexually assaulting a minor.
Nevertheless, Schofield suggested that a private investigation
conducted for 13 years by French police agent Christian Jambert, 56,
"clearly established that Louis was linked to all the women." It was
believed that he was affiliated with a sex ring operation that
prostituted, abused and even murdered many girls in the region,
possibly including Joanna.
Christian Jambert, victim
Christian Jambert, victim
Initially the authorities ignored Jambert's theories, but an incident
in 1984 led them to reconsider the idea that there was indeed a sex
ring in the area. That January, a 19-year-old girl was found wandering
the streets of Auxerre in a confused state. When the police picked her
up and questioned her she claimed that she was held captive in the
basement of a nearby house, where she was sexually abused and tortured.
The girl's testimony led the police to the home of Claude and Monique
Dunand, known friends of Emile Louis. Stuart said that when they
searched the house, they found another girl in the cellar, "naked and
suspended from a ladder by her wrists." He further claimed that for
approximately 15 years, local handicapped girls were lured to the
house, locked up, fed dog food and repeatedly raped and tortured by
invited guests. However, there was no indication that any of the girls
were murdered.
Claude Dunand was eventually convicted of kidnapping and given a life
sentence in 1991. His wife Monique received two years for accessory to
the crimes. According to Andrew Alderson and Kim Willsher's article 'I
Want Justice for Joanna,' Yonne crime reporter Ludovic Berger stated,
"Claude Dunand has always said that politicians, industrialists and
magistrates were involved but he has refused to name them." The article
further suggested that a list of at least 50 clients "rumored to
include several French 'notables' who paid to torture and abuse"
captive girls was discovered by police and handed over to the Auxerre
Courthouse. However, the list mysteriously disappeared from a courtroom
and has never been found.
It was not the only document that went missing. In fact, there were
more than 100 murder and missing person case files from between 1958
and 1982 that vanished from the courthouse. Moreover, the court ledger
documenting the investigations also vanished. It became increasingly
clear that someone was either trying to cover up the crimes or the
Auxerre Courthouse had a serious management problem.
Christian Jambert was almost certain he knew who was behind Burgundy's
rash of murders and missing person cases, and he was convinced that
Louis was one of the primary culprits. However, he also believed that
Louis was only one of many involved in the crimes. Jambert kept
meticulous notes and diaries concerning the cases, along with the
evidence he collected over the years. In 1997, he made preparations to
present his findings during a new inquiry. Yet, he never got the chance
to reveal what he worked so hard to acquire.
In August of that year, just several days before the inquiries were
scheduled to begin, Jambert was found dead in the basement of his
Auxerre home. An autopsy revealed that he died from a single gunshot
wound to the head. Medical investigators claimed that Jambert had a
history of depression. It was believed that his poor mental state
prompted him to end his life. His death was listed as a suicide.
By the late 1990s, the mounting scandal in Auxerre gained international
attention. People were shocked by the negligence exhibited in the
investigations and the fact that more than 100 files, mostly of missing
women, had gone missing from Auxerre's Courthouse. According to Harry
de Quetteville's January 2002 article in The Telegraph, the scandal was
"taken so seriously in Paris that Marylise Lebranchu, the French
justice minister, ordered a series of internal investigations."
Joanna's murder case was one of those selected for re-examination and
it was further linked with the inquiry into the seven girls Louis once
claimed to have murdered.
Not surprisingly, Joanna's parents welcomed the decision of a new
inquiry. They waited more than a decade for her investigation to be
reopened. BBC News Online stated that Roger, "was hopeful there would
be progress in the investigation and the potential capture of the
killer."
Investigators working on the case quickly realized that there was a
possibility someone tampered with Joanna's murder file. Witness
statements, which were obtained at the time of her murder, were missing
from her dossier. Moreover, important DNA evidence taken during the
autopsy also disappeared from the file for more than a decade before it
was found again.
During the investigation, it was suggested that Joanne and many of the
other girls that were murdered or missing were likely the victims of an
organized sex gang operating around Auxerre. Yet, because so many of
the facts were missing, there was not enough evidence available to
convict anyone.
The only exception was the case of the seven missing girls Louis
initially claimed to have murdered before retracting his confession.
Investigators continued to believe he was involved in their
disappearances and murders. A re-examination of his case was ordered,
with the hope of uncovering more evidence linking Louis or anyone else
to the girls.
Seven missing girls, victims
Many in the community believed that the murder cases were deliberately
ignored and the files stolen or destroyed because they implicated
high-level officials. Investigators re-examining the cases determined
that it was more likely that gross negligence on behalf of local
magistrates was to blame for the mishandling of the cases. In all
likelihood, it was probably a combination of both theories that
prevented anyone from being apprehended for the crimes.
In March 2002, four magistrates from Burgundy faced accusations of
gross negligence in the cases of missing and murdered women in their
region. The judges included former chief prosecutors Rene Meyer and
Jacques Cazals and former deputy prosecutors Daniel Stilinovic and
Bertrand Daillie. The men were ordered to appear before a panel of six
senior judges, who would review the cases over a three-day period.
According to a 2002 article by Susan Bell in The Scotsman, accused
magistrate Stilinovic admitted that "there were people who allowed
information to be stifled." He was further quoted saying "magistrates
tampered with procedures on behalf of people they wanted to protect. It
is a conspiracy at the very top." However, he maintained his innocence,
suggesting that he did not stifle any of the investigations. His peers
thought otherwise.
The panel returned a verdict in late March and found Stilinovic guilty
of negligence. He received the severest penalty and was dismissed from
his position. Cazals was also found guilty and transferred from his
prestigious post in Paris. Meyer, who was retired at the time of the
inquiry, was stripped of his honorary title after he too was found
guilty. Daillie received no punishment.
New Evidence
In August 2002, investigators found new clues during their inquiry into
Joanna's murder. They revealed that recently recovered DNA evidence
pointed to two men being involved in the rape and murder of Joanna. The
BBC News further stated in their article "Fresh Clues in Joanna Murder
Hunt" that new documents were found which indicated that police
arrested a suspect in connection with Joanna's murder early in the
investigation. Yet, he was released because of lack of evidence.
Investigators are continuing to follow up on the new leads, hoping that
it might result in the arrest of her killers. However, a great deal of
time has passed since her death and the chances of solving the crime
have significantly decreased over the years. Regardless, Joanna's
family and law enforcement officials re-examining the case have not
given up hope.
In April 2004, more new evidence arose concerning the suicide of
Jambert. According to Alderson and Willsher's article, Corinne Herrmann
received access to Jambert's files while she was conducting research
into the case of the Burgundy's missing and murdered girls. She became
suspicious of his death and believed he might have been murdered. She
just had to prove her theory.
Herrmann, author of Les Disparues D'Auxerre, convinced Jambert's
children to exhume their father's body so that another autopsy could be
conducted. After several days of examining the remains, the medical
investigators made a startling discovery. Alderson and Willsher claimed
that Jambert had been shot not once, but twice in the head making it
almost impossible for him to have committed suicide.
Herrmann's suspicions were proven correct and she persuaded area
magistrates to begin a murder inquiry. It was believed that his murder
was directly linked with the investigation on which he was working.
Even though investigators interviewed several possible suspects, no one
has yet been convicted for the crime.
Jambert's case, like Joanna's, is being pursued with more vigor than
ever before. Moreover, investigators continue to review the Louis case.
They are hoping to put an end to the disappearances and murders that
have plagued Burgundy for so many years. Moreover, they hope to restore
the reputation of the beautiful, medieval town that has attracted
visitors from around the world for centuries.
Emile Louis Trial
On November 2, 2004, Emile Louis' murder trial finally began in
Auxerre, France despite repeated attempts to throw out the case.
According to a November 3, 2004 AP Worldstream article, Louis' lawyers
requested that the case be delayed until after the European Court of
Human Rights ruled "on their bid to dismiss the case" because they
believed "the crimes took place too long ago for the case to be legally
valid." However, the court rejected the defense request and ordered the
resumption of Louis' trial.
The 70-year-old retired bus driver, convicted of the murders of seven
mentally handicapped women, continued to deny he was responsible for
the murders even though he confessed to them years earlier. It is hoped
that the trial will finally reveal the truth as to how the girls died.
The trial is expected to last four weeks. If convicted, Louis could
face life imprisonment.
The case is considered one of France's most controversial scandals
because the investigation was bungled and many of the case files
dealing with the girls' disappearances, as well as other cases of
murdered and missing women went missing from the Auxerre Courthouse. It
is believed that the files were destroyed in order to cover up a
high-level sex ring, which allegedly involved some prominent French
officials.
Auxerre Courthouse
AP Worldstream reported that, "more than 90 witnesses including
magistrates, social workers, police officers and family members of the
victims are to testify at the trial." Many other family members of the
victims are expected to fill the courthouse, in the hopes of seeing
Louis brought to justice after escaping prosecution for the murders for
approximately twenty-five years. The father of British student Joanna
Parrish, who was murdered in Auxerre in 1990, is also expected to be in
attendance.
Since the onset of the trial there has been an upsurge of media and
public interest, which has led to security concerns. Moreover, there is
concern for Louis' personal safety and the authorities want to prevent
the possibility of someone taking justice into their own hands. In
response, safety measures were taken to secure the perimeter around the
courthouse, Mie Kohiyama reported for Agence France-Presse. There is no
doubt that Louis is considered by many to be one of France's most
reviled citizens.
