And the Oh, Hello everyone and welcome back to the Strange Matters podcast.

Here at Strange Matters we discuss everything that is bizarre, mysterious, and unexplained.

I am Sean and I will be the host for this episode.

In this episode of Strange Matters, we will be going over an infamous murder case known as the

Gregory Affair, which details the disturbing murder of a young French boy, Gregory Villaman.

In this unsolved case that still continues to intrigue the French public to this day,

a family would be taunted with threats of vengeance from an unknown individual who was simply called the Crow.

This person would seemingly carry out his revenge by abducting and murdering the family's four-year-old son, Gregory.

After this grisly crime, a web of accusations and suspects would spin out of control, which would

cause even more deaths in the chaotic aftermath.

In this episode I will be detailing the history of the case, the strange and subpar investigation that followed,

and the possible suspects of who could have carried out the terrible crime.

Before we get started with this episode, I wanted to first say that I'm very glad to finally be back making new episodes for strange matters. I had not planned to take this much time off as originally I just figured to put the podcast on pause over the holidays, but as it happens with life things kept coming up to delay being able to produce new content

However, I am now excited and anxious to catch back up and start making new and interesting and intriguing episodes for all the listeners out there.

As always I wanted to give a big thanks to all the people who support the podcast over on

Patreon as their generous donations help keep the podcast running. The podcast is paused now through this month

but we will pick back up at the beginning of March. Also note that the next two

episodes coming out and the next day or two will be exclusive for those supporters on

Patreon. Over the past few months podcast has picked up a few new patrons so I'd like to

thank our newest supporters Brody, Kyle, Lisa, Maggie, Joe, Luke, and Liam.

And now onto the murder case of Gregory Villaman.

This story would take place in the fall of 1984 in the Panges in France.
