Summary

Marc Dutroux is a monster who created a secret prison in his basement, complete with a ventilation system, to hold his victims in. Marc, along with his wife Michele, was arrested in 1989 for the abduction and rape of five girls and young women. After serving only three years, the couple was released. Marc’s evil desires only grew and by 1995, Marc had four young victims held prisoners in his home. Within a year, Marc had murdered at least five people, including another accomplice, whom he tortured for six days before burying him alive. Listen to this graphic and shocking episode to learn why Marc is deemed “The Monster of Belgium.”
