as usual i was imagining..........well done i loved it

This case seems to also add to the evidence that often the deviants in society don't get away with their crimes for so long because they're necessarily incredibly smart, but because society has a tendency to defer and give the benefit of the doubt to status and wealth among other things.

How he became a doctor and mayor is beyond me. He was insane and still had respectable jobs.

WWII made the perfect cover for the doctor’s murder spree. In his early life he was indeed bright, a shame he wasted his talent. Thank you BC for another well executed upload.

Very fascinating, but also chilling how the darkest psychopaths can be so clever and opportunistic enough to avoid capture for years. And they live among us every day. Thanks, Brief Case. Great narration as usual.

It’s almost unbelievable that this man got away with this much!! Gives new meaning to the expression ‘stranger than fiction’. Thank you Brief Case. Good night from Australia 🇦🇺

After listening to true crime stories for years and years like a ghoul, it's hard to be genuinely shocked by a story. But this one did it.

Fascinating story BC - didnt expect that many people to be involved - great job

Thank you, for this "horrific" case about this "despicable" doctor and whatever, I hadn't heard of. I find it unbelievable how much he got away with until he was finally charged and put to death, period! Great investigating and presentation, too.

Greetings BC from rainy Malaysia! Marcel is very scary if I was his classmate!

What a wild case. It went places I didn't forsee. I am amazed he became a physician serial killer! So fascinating, maybe a lesson in beware of whose hands you put your life in! Thanks BC ❤

Great story and really really well narrated. This was a surprise story with a crazy ending. This guy *was* crazy and should have spent time in crazy hospital. I think I can speak for all of us by saying it was refreshing to hear this story as opposed to awful Russia and Ukraine worries.

It’s Monday and once again Another good brief case 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Good morning Brief Case.

Yay first one here, in time for bedtime down under, as always keep up your great stories and take care mate,

Good Morning All☕& Thanks BC❤

My favorite part of Monday!!!!

Never have to look to hard to find terror, sometimes it's right next door. Excellent as always BC, till next time. 🍁🇨🇦🐘

Binge watched your content some time ago an I've been hooked, greetings from the Philippines!

He had an efficient little operation going. Scary.

Thank you for covering this case. It's definitely not brief so you're awesome for covering it in such a great manner with time period photos. Isn't this case really crazy!? There is so many layers to it and during such a crazy time and era. I wonder how many people he actually killed? It'll probably never be proven but I'm just curious because he seemed very possible to have one of the highest number of victims. He definitely had the position and abilities to handle and blend in better than most people.. which made his opportunity to do what he did and have high level power over paperwork, documents, peoples trust, etc. It's crazy

I love you brief case!!!!

Good morning Brief 💼 Case 💐😊🤗 This is quite an action packed case...like a modern action movie! This guy wasn't crazy...he was just plain EVIL! He did a good job of pretending he was insane to get out of the front lines...at first it seemed plausible that he suffered from the battle. But then I nearly choked on my bagel when you said that he went to school to train to be a medical doctor, completed his studies, then went into practice not only at the psyche hospital, but then private practice. And he also met and married a woman and had a child! (She was the one who had to be insane! Poor child...wonder whatever became of him/her?) Became MAYOR?!?! Then carrying out all sorts of atrocities against men and women and unborn...he was sick with EVIL. Psychopath...who planned people's demise and coerced them into coming forward to escape the Nazis the WW only provided a really good cover for his evil to continue. Those poor people who trusted him with their lives and wanted to escape paid their killer to rob and murder them! Pure EVIL... And finally I'm a medical doctor...don't pay any attention to the dismembered bodies behind the curtain. They're enemies of France! 🤦🏻‍♀️😞 It was justice that he got what he did! Now off with his lying murderous head! (Thanks for the entertainment this morning!)

This has to be the most outrageous story I’ve ever heard. Just when I thought he couldn’t get any worse, he did!

Awesome notification to wake up to. About to enjoy my 1st cup of coffee ☕️ & watch. I know it'll be interesting. Thanks BC 👍🏾 😊

I love the black and white photographs you use in your videos of actual people and places. They add a lot to the story!

What a monster! I am impressed by the depth of the research you have to do for your vintage crime stories. I love your channel for this and for the interesting cases!

I love listening to you every night. Sending love from Australia

I wonder how many men came home from both wars and became killers or serial killers?

Dr. Satan was the basis for the character of the same name in House of a Thousand Corpses. Classic Rob Zombie film.

Hi, Brief Case!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟💚💚💚 I'm sorry I'm late. I overslept. Hope you have a good day! Thank You!

People like him actually walk among us. they literally are incapable of feeling emotion.

What a gripping story! I am amazed at his audacity and inventiveness. Beautiful narration, as always.

Watching from Down Under mate love your work keep it up!

Hey I'm a doctor, disregard the dismembered human remains🤦🏿‍♂️

This was an extremely fascinating case. It's amazing that it took so long for him to be caught and unbelievable that he kept rising to positions of authority and respectability. I kept saying "You've got to be kidding me!" the whole time.

Thank you so much again! Brief Case from this analysis, and complicated, case indeed ,blessings David.

Watching in remote Alaska!

Thank you 🙏🏽💎👑

agreeing with the crime reel fascinating intriguing would have made a great movie thanks for the posting excellent job will be looking for the next episode😊

I always find amazing how you find so many details on the cases you show here. Great work!

Another fascinating video

A new BC always well done remains the best thing about Monday mornings! Thank you for giving me something to look forward to to start every week!

If only the police, investigating the trunk murder, had done their jobs instead of flitting off to have hot-chocolate and croissants, much horror might have been averted.

If it hasn't already, this man's story would make an EPIC movie! Superb presentation, once again, _Brief Case,_ thanks for sharing the knowledge. 👍😎👌

Thank You Brief Case!! Excellent, as ALWAYS! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟💚💚💚💚💚 Stay well, my Friend!

Dr Death of France. Even though this is one of the better known cases featured on this channel, I have learnt more about it as I do every time I watch or listen to more about this case

Hello Briefcase 😊 That was a most interesting case! I guess he was greedy and perhaps wanted to be a French hero! ❤️

Thank you yet again very much for another interesing upload, I haven't heard of this. Keep up the great work!

Thanks for the upload!

Wow! Another great Brief case! Very suprised no one has made a movie about him. So much insane material to work with!

It's a shame that many insane people are also highly intelligent. I think that he was able to get away with so much was because of a combination of him obtaining a medical degree to give him the sense of authority and the occupation of France. The sheer luck he had in not getting convicted was also amazing.

Wow! I'm so surprised he got away with so much for so long. Letting him out of the insane hospital was a serious mistake. You have to be completely insane to dismember bodies and throw them in the river as well as burning their remains in his furnace. Thanks BC! I can't wait to get here every Monday. Another fabulous case. Thank you for all of the hard work you all must do to discover these cases. You're my favorite page!

I look forward to all your videos. Thanks for a great channel.

Extremely fascinating! Wish I had time to watch all of these!

I love your videos. Just long enough to watch on my commute, but interesting enough to binge throughout the day. Excellent work.

Wow! Quite a cunning fellow! Thanks for another great one, Briefy. 💙👍

Brief Case watching this delightful upload of most despicable individuals in history is making my morning after a nightshift turn out spectacularly. Thank you so much! 🥰 You do have truly disturbing content since it's true crime by actual people. 😬

Thank You, Brief Case! Excellent, 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 and very Disturbing! I was wondering if he was brought to Justice! I'm watching again, later!

I love your channel, you find the most interesting cases for us. Thank you It must take such a long time investigating them all. Keep up the good work.

I’m surprised that a movie hasn’t been produced about this ‘Dark & Disturbing Case’.

That guy looked like an actor from The Cabinet of Dr Caligari 😱😱. A DEFINITE listen again and share, thanks so much!!!!

Every single authority that had a duty of care to ensure that none of this happened failed on an astounding level of incompetence.

I just checked to be sure but I finally used all the superlatives possible in describing how well you've done with your videos. I guess I'll have to start making words up. Thanks as always for these tremexcellentous (OK my words are a work in progress) uploads.

What's the only good thing about Mondays? BriefCase of course!🦋🌈🦄🤗🌞🐱🌹🥰

You can tell the hard work that goes into creating these great cases

Great research & presentation,. Sure beats crime shows on tv! Thanks for posting this piece of crime history.

That's the most convoluted story I've ever heard! I'm confused by the ending, though. Did they find that the doctor really was part of the French Resistance?

It's funny I find it hard to imagine life going on as usual during not only a war, but the place you live also being occupied. Life as 'usual', plus serial killing! Thanks, BC.

Very fascinating yet sad. Good one Brief Case.

This was a brilliant article, wish I could speak French like you Brief Case, keep up your fantastic work.

wow, what a cracking tale this one was! it's kinda made my head spin.. this man Marcel sure lived a colourful life, with some really bad fortune and a great deal of amazingly good turns of events.. almost as though it was actually two completely different people. can you imagine what he may have accomplished, had he not had two horrendous world wars- with His homeland being the main stage- to contend with; and had He chosen a more altruistic path? hmmm. Either way, yet another super video from Brief Case,which is a given. Yet, once in a while there comes a story that totally blows me away, and this'un is most definitely in that category! I'm a long time devotee of this channel, and rarely fail to devour an episode as soon as it drops. Brief Case- you rock, mate! take it easy 👍

It's so weird to think about people living normal serial killer lives during such a significant war.

Always a supreme pleasure listening to you. Thank you.

Such a monster and not covered by many other channels, you do good work

Thank you, BC! Yet another fascinating case.

Hello b.c hello crime fam

Thank you BC. I've been AWOL from all my guilty pleasures & will need to catch up. Too much current day awful to enjoy these shows. But this was well researched & the photos were amazing. If & when the world returns to some normalcy, I'll be back. Please, wherever you are, stay safe. 🌺

Thanks again BC. An amazing tale of a heartless murderer. It truly astounds how a "Doctor" can get away with so much crime. Helped no doubt by the wars. Dark and Disturbing!

Thank You! For another fascinating story. 👍

Haven't watched in awhile! Always love coming back

Good morning, good brief case! Thank you!

Dang, he was the poster boy for being Wicked. Those that let him continuously slip thru...smh. Thanks for the story! 💛

Would you consider doing a Tragic and disturbing case on the late actress Margaret Rutherfords' father? He killed his father the Rev Julius Benn with a chamber pot in a b and b in Matlock Derbyshire in 1883. Her mother hung herself. Her father cut his throat after he had killed his father and was committed to Derby Jail. Then committed to Broadmoor. Even if you don't do one on him, it's still an interesting case to look up. The family is related to the MP. Antony Wedgewood Benn.

I first heard about this from the Bumblebutt Podcast. It sounds like the one of the worst ways a con man could take advantage of the loopholes of the system. Great summary, BC.

Another great case thanks Brief Case

Wonderful as always. I think I would be more shocked if it was a bad show then if it was a good one. Although I do greatly appreciate the consistency of quality information / entertainment

Always interesting. Thank you. Peace 💕🇺🇲

Wow what a sociopath!!! I will give him credit, he became Mayor…. It just seemed he just couldn’t stop his sneaky little ways.

If only the cops had done their job and investigated that woman's daughter's disappearance!

Hi, again, Brief Case,! Just wanted to see this again! He was Soo Twisted!!! RIP💔💔💔💔🙏🙏🙏🙏

WOW! He got away with murder for DECADES....because he was a doctor, a "Respectable profession",(which automatically excluded a person from being capable of heinous crimes!). Fortunately, we know better TODAY, that criminals hide behind masks of respectability.

This was intriguing, dude was schitzo, from the giddy up. Nice job keep up the good work.

Another great vid Mr B. Case :).

Excellent as usual!

been sick for a couple weeks....finally catching up on these...thanks, BC!

Yes! I needed dark and disturbing in my life today. French dark and disturbing no less. Thanks Crime Reel!

Another case very well done. Thank You from all of us BC.

When will people realize it doesn’t matter the person’s standings they could very well be psychopathic killers .

How chillingly dark & crazy...Great one BC...Love 💘 😻 💜 💛 💚 🧡
