It was a beautiful day in June 1995 in the east of Belgium.

Eight-year-old Julie Lejean arrived at her classmate Melissa's house at around 3 p.m. to practice their end-of-school year dance routine. The girls were best of friends and excited about the upcoming summer

break and beautiful weather. After practice, they convinced Melissa's mom to let them walk to the

overpass just down the street to wave at the cars below.

It sounds like a strange activity for eight-year-olds, but Melissa was used to doing this with her brother.

She must have been excited to show her best friend, Julie, how fun it was to get honks and waved

from the cars racing by below.

But something evil was lurking near the bridge that day.

Julie and Melissa crossed its path and then disappeared.

It was as if they simply vanished in broad daylight from one minute to the next.

From the time they were last seen by witnesses near the bridge

to the moment Melissa's mother started looking for them,

they were only unaccounted for for about 15 minutes.

Unfortunately, in that small window of time, they were taken from that beautiful day, into a very dark place. A psychopath is somebody who understands emotions.

And I told them it is very exceptional that somebody abducts two children at the same time.

It would have been the end of it in 1986.

But my God, it was just the beginning.

I think Belgium was a paradise for perverts in those days.
