Visit planetbroadcasting.com for more podcasts from our great mates. Welcome to another episode of Do Go On. My name is Dave Warnocky and I'm here, as always, with Matt Stewart and Jess Perkins. Well done for introducing Matt first.
Starting point is 00:02:02 Thank you. That's very important. He's really counting these days. Very important. That's three. Out of six months. No, three out of 26. 23 to go.
Starting point is 00:02:12 That was just, you were just showing off your math skills there. I would also like to point out that I nailed the, the intonation of Dave's intro there. Yeah, I think you can. Fantastic. I've listened to it 180 something times. 86? Five. Well, you mean, you don't have to listen to every episode, of course.
Starting point is 00:02:29 I don't. Yeah. I don't listen to this trash. There's a few episodes of Dave was in here where I filled in pretty, pretty well. Yeah. Now, you also nailed the intonation. If I'm saying that correctly. No, it's actually introduction.
Starting point is 00:02:43 Yes. But close. Yeah, nice try. Hey, somebody explain how the show works. How the show works is. There's three of us here. I think we're all aware of that. And we take it in turns to research a topic and then bring that research back to the others and tell them all about it.
Starting point is 00:03:01 The topic could be anything. It could be Dave's water bottle there. It could be that cord in the corner. It could be Jess's nose. It could be anything at all. I'm really happy for my water bottle. This week, well, I mean, they're just some of the things that are pulled out of my imagination, but it could really be anything.
Starting point is 00:03:19 I want my nose to finally get the attention it deserves. But the suggestions nearly always come from listeners. And this week, I'm doing a report on a topic that has been suggested by a listener. And we get on the topic with a question. This week's question is, which 20th century series? serial killer was dubbed the butcher of Paris, the demonic ogre, and Dr. Satan, amongst other things by the French media. That is an incredible set of titles.
Starting point is 00:03:51 Yeah. And we haven't done a serial killer for so long. I gave, well, because I'd noticed we've done a fair few entertainment type topics lately. So I gave the Patreon's a few non-entertainment topics. And yeah, this one won out. It was pretty close. Another one was up there was the Stonewall Rites which I've put up a couple of times
Starting point is 00:04:11 That feels like inevitably we will do it But it just got pipped again Beaten by the Parisian Ripper Uh Yeah I guess that probably is I imagine someone's called him that as well Anyway you've not heard of this I hadn't heard of this guy
Starting point is 00:04:28 His name's Marcel Petiot Or it's French probably a silent tea in there Petio Did either of you speak French? I'm going to say Marcel Pedio with apologies or Petio. And this was suggested just by one listener, Jamie Svet. Jamie Svet. Thanks, Jamie Svet.
Starting point is 00:04:53 It's a funny great name, Jamie Svet. She's a great name. Svet. This is the little description that got people's attention. It has death Nazis French accents and ridiculous shenanigans. All the things we love here at Do Go On. They've described him as like Turkmen Bashie, but a serial murderer. Whoa.
Starting point is 00:05:17 Yeah. I'm not sure if it's entirely right, but that's, yeah, pretty close. Cool. There's no salt, but... Oh, I'm out. Anyway, let us begin. Marcel Petiot. Do you want to just...
Starting point is 00:05:32 I just want you to tell me yay or no. Yeah, I mean... What's the spelling there? P-E-T-I-O-T. Petit-O-T. Petit-O. Okay, yeah, let's... Just call him Marcel, I reckon.
Starting point is 00:05:44 Marcel Pettion. Was born on the 17th of January, 1897, in France, in a place called Oxy. Something like that. To parents, Felix Petyo and Marte Béthon. According to Britannica, Petyo was unusually intelligent as a child, but exhibited severe behavioral problems in school and was expelled several times before completing his education. Huh. He was a troubled kid, showing violent and sexual tendencies from a young age.
Starting point is 00:06:18 At one point, he fired his dad's gun in his classroom when he was just 11 years old. In another incident that same year, he propositioned another student for sex. He's 11? At 11, yeah. I mean, we all develop at different times. Sure. That's right. I mean, I didn't fire my dad's gun until I was sex.
Starting point is 00:06:36 17 years old. Yeah, and that's okay. There's no shame in that. 11 seems a little young. Fire the gun. Yeah. Either gun. You've got to remember it was a different time.
Starting point is 00:06:48 It was a different time. It was the 1800s. They only lived at 12, so you make the most of it. Yeah, he was a grown man. He had three jobs by that point. So a few years later, he was caught robbing a postbox and charged with theft and damaging public property. He underwent psycho.
Starting point is 00:07:06 psychiatric evaluation and was found to be mentally unfit to stand trial. They were like, why would anyone rob a postbox? There's something wrong here. He's like punching it like, give me a money. Give me your money. And it's like, what are you doing? So the charges were dropped. Right, okay, couldn't stand trial.
Starting point is 00:07:23 Or they deemed him not fit to. Yep. Right. He served in the French army during World War I. Okay. Why led him into the army then? He likes firing guns. Yeah, he had already been in trouble everywhere he'd been,
Starting point is 00:07:40 but I guess, yeah, they needed soldiers. So he signed up in January of 1916. The following year, he was wounded in action, and while being treated, he was busted stealing army blankets and morphine amongst other things. So he was building a blanket fort. Yeah. He's cold.
Starting point is 00:08:00 And a bit of a klepto. What are he called? Kleptomaniac? Is that right? You can't stop stealing, yeah. Yeah. And yeah, the army blankets. He was charged for this,
Starting point is 00:08:11 but the charges were again dropped due to the results of a psychiatric evaluation. Right, but did they send him back out to the front line anyway? Well, so according to this website, I quote a little bit today, it's called cultnation.com, but it's spelled with a V instead of a U. Oh, yeah, cool, like churches. Kvalt. The band. Not the word church.
Starting point is 00:08:33 Oh, right. I know how that's spelled. Okay? I know. I know. You're both looking at me like, I don't know. She doesn't know. I know.
Starting point is 00:08:42 I don't think she knows. Do you want to hear it in a sentence? Yes, please. Churches. What a place. Churches, plural. Comma, what a place. What a place.
Starting point is 00:08:54 Singular. Yep. Okay, now spell it. Any further questions? CHV. Yes. Ah. C-H.
Starting point is 00:09:03 Yes. X. No, you missed a V. Ah, double V. Anyway, according to Colt Nation, he was diagnosed with mental disequilibrium, neurasthia, neurasthenia.
Starting point is 00:09:20 Is that two separate ones? No. It's a second go at the same one. Mental depression, melancholia, obsessions and phobias. It's a bit of a mixed bag of diagnoses. Does I have any idea where they were doing that? I'm not sure, yes.
Starting point is 00:09:35 I guess it's the early 1900s. They must have had some idea. There's not a lot of terms in there that are thrown around all that much now. This saw him being sent to a psychiatric ward for treatment before being returned to the front in 1918. I wonder what kind of treatment they would have done as well. Oh, wow. They were that desperate that they were just like get back out there. You'll probably die anyway.
Starting point is 00:09:57 Just like if somebody hands you a gun, just make sure you're aiming at the enemy, would you? Shoot the right way. That's so irresponsible. He did not take that advice. For everyone. I'm not, anyway, I was going to be like jump to his defense and then I remembered it was a long time ago. And I know he's a serial killer.
Starting point is 00:10:15 So I probably won't defend him too much. I reckon the source of his killing is the fact that they took him away from his blanket fort. Yeah. Man, how good a blanket fort? Love that stuff. A few pillows in there. Oh, hello. We bought a new duna recently, so like a bigger one.
Starting point is 00:10:31 So now we have spared duneers. and now I've just had the idea that I have the resources for a blanket fort. Do you want to come over? Yeah. You've got a couple of chairs. You'll build a little bit of structure, little emergency exit. You can escape if unwanted people come over. If someone farts.
Starting point is 00:10:49 If Matt farts. I don't fart. Do you not? You don't fart outside of a blanket fort. Gentlemen, never fart. What was your advice there, Bob? You said always make sure the gun's pointing at the enemy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:07 Well, he didn't do that because when he was sent back to the front line, he literally shot himself in the foot. Literally. Literally. Because it's also a phrase you can shoot yourself in the foot. But he literally did it. He literally did it. Like literally?
Starting point is 00:11:23 Did he like literally do it? He literally did it. Oh my God, literally. And despite the continuing issues, they still didn't send him home. Fucking hell. He was given a few weeks of leave to recover and then transferred to a different regiment
Starting point is 00:11:38 to continue fighting in the war. No. I guess in their idea that was like he's not, he's having trouble. Yeah. It's probably just the people he's around. Yeah. Send him to a different part of the front.
Starting point is 00:11:53 He might just click with some other people a bit better. Yeah. Feel more at home. A couple of miles that way. Yeah. I get that, though. You know, workplaces are all about the people you work with, you know? So sometimes it's just like, it's just a personality jelling thing.
Starting point is 00:12:07 Yeah. You know, I get that. Sometimes you shoot yourself in the foot. Literally. Literally. Most of the time it's figuratively. Literally. Every now and then.
Starting point is 00:12:15 It's literally. Are we thinking that we did it on purpose or was he just a terrible shot? I think he might have done it on purpose. But there was another, because it's one of those stories. It's pretty old and there's no, doesn't seem to be a definitive take on it. There was one source actually said that he exploded a grenade on his own foot. So that's quite different. And then they just send him away for a couple of weeks.
Starting point is 00:12:39 Yeah. Because that seems like it would be hard to recover from. Yeah. I don't think you'd have a foot. No. They'd probably still ask you to fight, though. Look, you've only got one foot left. That's more than some.
Starting point is 00:12:50 Yeah. Which is true. Yeah. It's been the first of a war, I imagine. Yeah, get back out there. You're all right. You're fine. Towards the end of the war, he was again sent for psychiatric evaluation.
Starting point is 00:13:04 And according to Colt Nation, his diagnosis meant that he was finally discharged from duty on disability. In fact, the report given to the military, recommended that Petio be committed to an asylum. Instead, he was admitted to an accelerated education program set up for veterans, where he earned a medical degree and began his practice as a physician. What the fuck? That really took an unexpected turn. We think you should lock him away. And they're like, nah, he should be one of you.
Starting point is 00:13:37 I want your job, all right? According to, as all that's interesting, dot com puts it like this, instead of being committed to an asylum as recommended, he interned at one while attending medical school. Oh my God. Wow. That's so dumb. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:57 That's really. really dumb. I reckon it's one of those things you give someone a bit of responsibility like that and they'll step up. I reckon that from now on he's on the straight and narrow. He's like,
Starting point is 00:14:06 all right, you let me be a doctor? I'll be a good person. Is this right, is this right? Is this the end of the story? I've got really good intuition. Did he just marry a nice lady?
Starting point is 00:14:14 They settled down and had some kids. He died of old age. Are you related to this guy? You do have a bit of Swiss Italian. Yeah. You could have gone across the border a couple of times. Yeah, a couple of borders. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:25 And then settled down. Yeah. Is this what happened? Are you just telling us your ancestry? I'm just telling you the story of how I grew up. Right. Oh. No, it doesn't end well.
Starting point is 00:14:36 Sorry. Fuck. But you know he's a serial killer. Yeah, I know. We were just hoping that maybe. I didn't know you meant that literally. Yeah, literally. Oh, I thought you meant he's a serial killer.
Starting point is 00:14:46 Oh, right. He's a, wow. With the ladies. Wow, what a bit of a serial killer. Lady killer. Yeah, but he's actually a killer. Yeah, just a kill. He kills.
Starting point is 00:14:57 The bad vibes. Woo! He's a party starter. Which one is it, Matt? We're all dancing, but no one can tell. Well, I guess I think we've found with a lot of bad people that we've talked about, they're often seen as being charismatic and whatever. And I'm assuming that something like that is how he went from, you know,
Starting point is 00:15:20 people saying he needs treatment to him, ended up going, it's like he talked his way into getting a degree and said, No, I reckon I'll just, why don't I just be a doctor? You're like, yeah, you're right. Why don't you just be a doctor? I'm not sure how he went about it, but yeah, it must have been. Something like that. A bit of a Hannibal Lecter type, I'm imagining.
Starting point is 00:15:39 It's like very, very smart, but very, very insane. Yeah. He obtained his medical degree in 1921 and established a practice in the town of Villeneuve. During his time as a doctor there, some of his dodgy practices included purposefully prescribing his patient's addictive substances substances, as well as secretly applying for state medical assistance for many of his patients, meaning that he received payment from both the patient and the state each time he treated them, according to coordination.
Starting point is 00:16:09 So he's, yeah, that's sort of... I mean, that's just a bit clever. Yeah, I mean, given... Wrong, wrong. Just a little bit of fraud. A bit of fraud. I mean, the prescribing addictive substances for no reason is pretty bad. Yeah, yeah, you're playing with people's lives.
Starting point is 00:16:22 Yeah, but they're having a good time. The article continues saying he begins. He began an affair with the daughter of one of his patients in 1926, a woman named Louise Delavieu. She disappeared in suspicious circumstances during their relationship. There were accusations leveled at him by his neighbours, saying that they saw the doctor putting a large trunk in his car, one that looked a lot like a trunk filled with an unidentified woman's body parts
Starting point is 00:16:49 that the police pulled out of the Yon River a few weeks later. When you said trunk, I imagine the tree trunk for some reason. I imagine like the trunk of a car. He's putting a trunk in the trunk. In a trunk. And they're like, that's suspicious. Yeah. Why would you do that?
Starting point is 00:17:02 He can't close the boot. He can't close the thing. Put a boot in the boot. Yeah, he's putting a boot in the boot. So, right, so they did find body parts in a trunk. Yes. That looked just like the trunk he put in the trunk. According to the Colt Nation article, police claimed that this was a coincidence.
Starting point is 00:17:20 And Delaview was officially logged as a runaway. Never found. Just Is this like pre-DNA testing? Yeah, right? DNA is like, what is that? Like 2006? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:35 Yeah, when NTIS started. Yeah. I wasn't sure if it was N-C-I or CSI. No DNA and CSI. Right. Not until CSI in Miami. Just a lot of blue light. Yeah, NCSI Miami ripping off N-S.
Starting point is 00:17:50 They could just find a cum. Yeah. They did that a lot. They turned the black light on and went, oh, do not look at my pants. Oh. Oh, dear. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:17:59 Looks like the cum is on my pants. Yeah. Sunglasses on Horatio. I love. Those intros are so great. Yeah. Or should I say? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:20 I really want to know. It was never proven, but many believe Delavue was Petio's first victim. Oh. It's so good. You'd assume that all the controversy that had plagued him would mean it would be impossible for pediot to enter politics. What the fuck? No. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:45 If you did assume that, you would be wrong. Because he ran for mayor or Villeneuve the same year that Delavieu went missing. Oh, my God. Honestly, is it a bit like, well, if I was a murderer, would I run for mayor? That's a good point. If I'd killed my girlfriend, would I be. putting my face out there as mayor everyone's just like
Starting point is 00:19:05 well played yeah he is good because I reckon if I'd killed my girlfriend I'd be like laying low but he's he just running for mayor he's innocent and I'm voting for him oh you are yeah he's got my vote
Starting point is 00:19:22 you can't prove shit I think he's all right am I going to regret that yeah of course I mean I already do yeah of course you will I hope you will Still at the end I'm like, no, he's all right. One of his tactics during the election, apparently,
Starting point is 00:19:38 according to the, all that's interesting article, was hiring someone to cause a commotion during a debate with his opponent, which cause his opponent to get flustered. Oh my God, that is good. Not a bad, bad man. That is good stuff. Is that the worst thing he's ever done? No.
Starting point is 00:19:58 Oh. We're in the midst of an election here. Why have none of them tried that? I just try to cause a bit of commotion. Just fluster them. You're fluster your opposition, I'll tell you. Maybe the egg, maybe one of the, the egg boy or egg girl was actually. A flusterer.
Starting point is 00:20:13 Fluster hired by the opposition. That could be true. Yeah. No, this makes sense now. Whatever his tactics were, they worked as he won. What? He became the mayor. He flustered all 16 of his opponents.
Starting point is 00:20:29 Nobody questioned why there were so many commotions. At every rally except his. Yeah. And he's always like, oh, commotion, this is where I thrive. Keep making noise. I love it. I've killed and I'll kill again. I've said too much.
Starting point is 00:20:46 As with the rest of his life, though, his time as mayor was full of trouble. The trouble included being accused of stealing taxpayers' money and even cans of oil from the train depot. He was doing big and small crime. Oil in his boot? Yeah, I guess so. Back into the trunk. Back in the trunk.
Starting point is 00:21:07 I'm just thinking, when were cars, like he would have been an early adopter for cars, right? What are we talking in 1920s? When were cars getting real popular, Dave? Well, it's kicking off, but have we actually mentioned the car, though? Well, yeah, him putting the boot in the trunk. Oh. No, they're talking about a chest of drawers type of trunk. But wasn't that into a trunk?
Starting point is 00:21:26 Yeah, putting a large trunk into his car. Oh, wow, maybe he's an early adopter. Or he put it into the back of his small thrown carriage. He just made my head get hot. I'm like, wait, did I imagine the thing that I said? Have you got hot head? I got hot head, man. I'm a real hot head.
Starting point is 00:21:45 You know what us fiery redheads are like. We'll go off or a drop of my hat. Don't drop my hat. At this point, you're Auburn, you know? Like, you're not a fiery red head. You're a alban. I'm a fiery red face. At the moment, yes.
Starting point is 00:22:01 Are you okay? Yeah. So he's, as mayor, he's stealing cans of oil from the train station. What kind of oil? I guess. Olive oil? Yeah, olive oil. Yeah. Like the good shit?
Starting point is 00:22:15 The good stuff, yeah. Oh, okay, fair, because that stuff is expensive. Tiny cans. Yeah. You get like a one-liter bottle. Sure, it'll last year while. It's not bought it cheap. He's getting the ones that are flavored like the chili one.
Starting point is 00:22:26 Yeah. And a bit of, what is that little ducca? Yeah. Ducker. Yep. That's a word I've never said out loud. I think it's duca. Doca.
Starting point is 00:22:34 Doca. Unless I'm wrong. Well. We just put out three options there. Yeah. One of them's right. One of us got it. I'm sure.
Starting point is 00:22:42 I'm sure we got it. He was... He was... So his... So he's... The clapdo stuff never goes away. He's always... Once a claptore is a clapture?
Starting point is 00:22:52 Always be thieving oil. Yeah. To build an oil fort. It's always forts with this guy. Imagine an oil for. Slippery. Isn't that? But like in the middle ages or whatever,
Starting point is 00:23:07 it wasn't oil used in forts a bit? Hot oil. Was that a real thing? They poured hot oil on the enemies. Yeah, yeah. There's little holes and stuff. So maybe he's learning from history. He's building a fort made fully of oil.
Starting point is 00:23:20 He misunderstood though. The bricks were still made of bricks. He's just heating up oil. No one's getting inside of this can. So he was. was suspended from his mayoral duties. I should say we say mayor, but I think other places say maya or maya. What are you talking about?
Starting point is 00:23:41 I think in America they say mayor. No, they say mayor. The mayor of New York City. Do they say Maya? No, it's mayor. Mayor. Are you thinking of John Mayer? John Meyer.
Starting point is 00:23:56 They call them John Mayer. We call them John Mayer. We call him John Mayor. Mayor. It's mayor. It's mayor. Is it always mayor? It's always there.
Starting point is 00:24:03 I know what you mean. Sometimes in the south, there's an accent, you could hear Mayor. Mayor Bonabee. What, I do protest, Mr. Meyer. Well, I do say. Yeah, you're just doing an accent. I am a southern bel, sir. I don't think anyone's been confused up until this point.
Starting point is 00:24:23 Well, it's possible I thought I thought I met a woman horse. Yeah, he ran to be the town's woman horse. The only one, so all the boy horses got to fuck it. This mayor makes me feel like a cat on a hot tin roof. Sometimes I forget Dave studied drama because he really can transform a scene, can't he? I'm a southern male. A mayor. I tips my hat.
Starting point is 00:24:54 Everyone's on board with mayor. So he was suspended from his mayoral or mayoral. mayoral duties, his mayoral duties, and once again charged. This time though, he was found guilty and sentenced to spend three months in jail. This decision was appealed. No. And subsequently overturned. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:25:16 How many second chances is that already? I think, yeah, it's three, four, it's going to be four, five. Four times he's been evaluated and they've gone, ah. He meant well. He's all right. He's all right. Stealing oil. Amongst all this in 1927, he married a woman named Georgette Leblur.
Starting point is 00:25:36 Oh, Georgeet, you poor woman. Leblur. Leblur. It was all a leblur. What's going I say? Leblah. They had a son the following year. Honeymoon baby.
Starting point is 00:25:53 I love a honeymoon baby. It's the son's name. Really? Yeah. You're into that. The royal baby. I mean, they haven't even been married a year Or close to
Starting point is 00:26:03 Shotgun wedding, I tell you Yeah, I tell you what No, Dave, I'm, I don't know It was just a honeymoon baby Like within a few months of them being wed Their son was named Gerhard Gerhard
Starting point is 00:26:16 That's the first name Yeah That's a beautiful name Gerhard, yeah I really like actually genuinely Yeah, it's a good name Yeah, it's a cool name After the charges were overturned
Starting point is 00:26:27 he returned to his mayoral duties. What? They let him back in. He was so, apparently he was so popular. I think when he stepped down, the rest of the council resigned as well. Like if he's out,
Starting point is 00:26:40 we're out. I think so. That's dumb. That's somewhere. Yeah, like he was, I mean, he was obviously always,
Starting point is 00:26:47 he was getting votes and he was, people liked him, even though he was clearly, yeah, it's a real confusing sort of character. So he returned to the gig as mayor, but accusations of theft continued to be thrown at him until he was finally officially booted from the office in 1931. Right, so he's sort of yo-yoing a bit and then in and out.
Starting point is 00:27:14 Yeah, exactly. Around a month after he was booted, he sought election as the district's representative in the general council. He won, becoming the youngest man to do so at about 33 years of age, 33, 33, 35. How? Do they not look at his record that he's been kicked out as mayor twice? Yeah, and this feels like, I think he's so, mayor is obviously the local, that's the city. Man, I think this is more of a, he's going for a seat in a more national.
Starting point is 00:27:43 And what's the title? The general council. Can you say that in a proper southern voice? General counsel. Well, just in case you didn't know what Matt was on. Yeah. Whilst in the position, he was accused of stealing electricity. which led to him being fined
Starting point is 00:28:02 Where was he putting it? I don't know. In his fort. He was making it for later. First he put in his trunk and he drove it to his castle. And yeah, that led to him being fined and booted from that position as well. I mean, mate, you've got it pretty sweet, surely. You're getting paid alright.
Starting point is 00:28:21 I don't fully understand how you steal electricity. Yeah, I guess he's a really long extension lead. He's plugged it in. Yeah to like The next one neighbor's place And then he's just a long lead Into his place
Starting point is 00:28:35 And he's like got six toasters going Yeah Doesn't need him Around the clock He just He takes the bread out And throws it out Yeah
Starting point is 00:28:42 I'm actually not even putting bread in He's just putting it down It's just putting it down He's still there for 17 hours once Just doing that And nobody realised That something wasn't quite right Until the electricity bill
Starting point is 00:28:53 It was like 10 grand Yeah And his neighbours were like Hang on a sec This is enough to power six toasters for 17 hours. I thought I was having a stroke. I was smelling burnt toast, but it was just the neighbour.
Starting point is 00:29:06 Unbelievable. It's ridiculous. Well, anyway, he lost his job because of all that toast. Wow. Toast is never worth it. Losing a job. Is that your motto? No, I love toast. Toast so good.

Anyway, we should get back to this serial killer. All right. Thanks, Gilleshire. So he was done for stealing electricity,
Starting point is 00:36:01 got the boot. and I guess at that point he realized maybe he'd used up all the goodwill he had in Villeneuve. So he moved to Paris with his wife and his son in 1933. And there he continued to practice as a doctor and again enjoyed a good reputation. But his criminal activities continued unabated. He built a new medical practice at 66 Rue Cal Martin in Power. What did he build the practice out of? He built it out of sticks.
Starting point is 00:36:38 Which was a bad idea. But I mean, honestly, it is better than oil. Yeah. True. He's going in the right direction. He's working his way through the products. They weren't his sticks. Ah, of course they weren't.
Starting point is 00:36:49 He's stealing sticks. He's a doctor. He's got the money for sticks. So he built a new medical practice and also a great reputation in the community. according to an article on Murderpedia Have you seen this website? Murderpedia.
Starting point is 00:37:05 It's like, Yeah, I've used Murderpedia. I'm a big fan. It's good. It's like it collates a bunch of articles on certain topics. This one is really good. This is probably the best one I found and it would have been hard not to just read this whole thing out
Starting point is 00:37:18 because it's very good. But anyway, it's an article by Michael Newton. And in it he says, Petio promoted himself with typical zeal in Paris. offering patients a wide variety of treatments, claiming credentials both real and imaginary. I've got a degree in unicorns. Well, okay, please give my head a massage. Advertisements described him as an intern, spelled I-N-T-E-R-N-E, at one mental hospital
Starting point is 00:37:50 where he had actually been an intern with the E with an accent on top, which means patient. So you take the accent off. He took the accent off, meaning he was an intern there when actually he was a patient. So just all he had to do. And that was actually in the, when this was suggested by Jamie, that was one of the things they mentioned. That was actually.
Starting point is 00:38:15 He was pretty fascinated about it. He just took off the accent and that changed his credentials. Like I've done an internship. Yeah. Wow. Honestly, I mean, just make up a new word. Yeah. It's the whole problem here, the French language.
Starting point is 00:38:28 This whole time, is that what's happening? Every time you should go to jail, but they just take off some little accent or a little umlaut or whatever here. And it's like, oh, actually, no, you, sorry, did I say you had to be here? No, you get to run here. Great, great. Sorry, I missed that oomelout. Crazy. A little bit of dirt, just flip that off.
Starting point is 00:38:49 And that just changes history, okay. That's wild. So the article goes on to say, outside his home office at 66 Rue. Cal Martin, Petio erected a brass plaque so jam-packed with phony endorsements that another physician complained to the Medical Association and Petio was forced to remove it. He had a brass plaque. I love that. Can you just get them?
Starting point is 00:39:15 Yeah. Ooh. Yeah, my grandpa had one on his house. Really? What did it say? Did he just get it? Yeah, he just get it. Well, you know, it was like a dental surgeon's like Dr. Blah, blah, blah, all these things
Starting point is 00:39:23 and then like order of Australia or all this stuff underneath it. What? Just next to his front door. I was like, Well played. Do you actually have an order of Australia? Yeah, yeah, it's got something like that, yeah. What?
Starting point is 00:39:34 Yeah. He just had O-I-M written there, but actually. Yeah. Really, if you put the accent above the A. Yeah, you're actually an order of Australian mucking about. Yeah, all right. So, yeah. Quite different.
Starting point is 00:39:49 Quite different. Very different. But unless you look into it, you wouldn't know. You can be both, though. You can. You can be a bit of a rat bag, but also have the order of Australian metal. That's true. Before long, he was in different kinds of trouble,
Starting point is 00:40:02 so he's already had his brass plate removed. Not what next. What more could possibly happen? That's the worst thing that could happen to a person. And the worst thing that's happened to him so far. According to all that's interesting, the physician was fined 2,400 francs for his prescribing of illicit narcotics. A charge for which he would have gone to trial had the two addicts set to testify against him,
Starting point is 00:40:24 not appeared under mysterious, not disappeared under mysterious, circumstances shortly before the trial again. Appeared, what if they appeared. Whoa. Smoke bomb. We are here to testify. Testify. The judge was so like, no, not happening.
Starting point is 00:40:48 Not happening. Get out. This is mysterious. No, they did the opposite. They disappeared. Yes. Smoke bomb. They're gone.
Starting point is 00:40:56 Boom. And I'm gone. So both disappeared. Apparently. What are the chances that they both become runaways? Yeah, a couple more runaways. Yeah, they join the cause. Wow.
Starting point is 00:41:11 Is that the cause? Yeah, the CAUSE. Fight the power. People should be more impressed on you. That was the cause. Yeah, that was very good. Thank you. I was impressed, but I was busy.
Starting point is 00:41:29 singing. Now I'm done. I really needed you to stop and be impressed. I wasn't finished singing now. I was impressed that just knew the bit after that. Yeah. Oh, yeah. That is a song that no one has thought of for a long time. Get out of town.
Starting point is 00:41:42 You get to at the end of I would run away and it's like, no, da, do, do, do. Nah, it's a great one. You knew it. Yeah, I love the cause. I love everything at Ireland.
Starting point is 00:41:52 I love Ireland. Yeah. I'm wearing green right now. You are. And I feel like without even me saying that, Some people got that vibe. Yeah. They were listening like, oh, she sounds like she's wearing green.
Starting point is 00:42:04 And they were right. And we're right. What color am I wearing, listener? Ha, trick question, he's naked. Yes. Sucked in. Matt prefers to work in the nude and we respect his choices. We don't like it, but we respect it.
Starting point is 00:42:19 It just feels more of a flow. Yeah. And we see the difference. We hear the difference. But obviously we can't look at you. Yeah. It's also a clear desk, which was a bad choice on our part when we were furnishing this studio. The Bermuda Triangle episode is the only one I wore clothes.
Starting point is 00:42:36 I mean, I think you can hear how restrictive. It was an absolute mess. It was a messy episode. Bubados. That is the influence of pants. Yeah. Get them off. Get them out.
Starting point is 00:42:47 Restrict. I don't want them. Get them out of here. Very restricting off of the vocal cords. Pants. Yep. Yeah. It's where some of my best vocal cords live.
Starting point is 00:42:56 regret face so he kind of got away with that one he was again arrested spin after though just feels like he spent most of his time being arrested yeah imagine like your doctor your neighbourhood doctor has just got the cops around all the time
Starting point is 00:43:16 he's just always been put into the back of a divvy van that's classic Dr Marcel don't worry about him he'll get out of it he's never done it anything. I don't know why they're always after him. Yeah. How are all of these people so bad at reading other people that none of them have gone, I don't know, he just gives me the hebi-jeebis, you know?
Starting point is 00:43:39 Or that they don't keep records at all. Yeah, that's the thing. Obviously, he just moves to a new place and everyone's like, you seem great. I'm not going to look into you at all. He just chucks a little umla out on the top of words, and it goes from saying criminal mastermind to a real good guy. Yeah. It's a beautiful language. Wow, it's just changes.
Starting point is 00:43:58 So tonal. So this time he was arrested for theft again, as well as assaulting a police officer. But again, he was acquitted due to his mental fitness and was sent to spend time in a mental health facility. He was released after a couple of months. And despite there being continuing doubts from some doctors about his mental health, he was just back out. Oh, my God. What seems happening is they go, you are too mentally ill to go to jail. where you should be is out there on the streets.
Starting point is 00:44:30 Practicing medicine. What? What? Yeah, that doesn't make sense. You can't go. You're too unwell to go to jail, so don't worry about it. It just, yeah, it sounds like their system wasn't great. I mean, we ought to still talk about in Australia.
Starting point is 00:44:42 Our mental health system here is requiring work. A lot of work. And this is a long time. This is a hundred years ago. Of course. But, yeah, that's. Yeah, it sounds like the system is, it's bloody Swiss cheese. There's a lot of holes in it.
Starting point is 00:44:55 That's very good. There's a Swiss Italian coming through. Yeah. He knows. I'm talking cheese analogies. This sounds like a Gouda story to me. I was going with Gouda. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:45:07 I'll be brief. Everyone in the world listening had the thought of Gouda and they all bit their tongue. Jess and me included Dave. That is why you're the master of the puns. Jess was also going for it. It wasn't. I was just a little quicker than you were. I didn't.
Starting point is 00:45:23 Don't get all blue about it, Jess. Blue cheese. Fuck. my personal favourite time. I would have accepted if you said, don't get all blue cheese about it, Jess. Then that's a funny joke. That's funny.
Starting point is 00:45:33 But just saying blue about it and then saying blue cheese, my favourite cheese. No one cares. Well, I've got great pecorinos, so. Oh, okay. Yeah, but it definitely sounds like you. You're talking about your balls.
Starting point is 00:45:44 Do you reckon? I mean, I will admit that it's confusing because I do call my balls my pecorinos. Like, look at the pecorinos on this guy. But that's pecorinos with an umlau. I understand. Tonal. I couldn't hear that, could I?
Starting point is 00:45:57 No, but if you see it written down, you'd understand the difference. Of course. I'm not an idiot. I'm not a pecorino. Ah, which is something you say about idiots. Yeah. I say. Basically calling him Dave's balls.
Starting point is 00:46:10 Yeah. There are a couple of Dave's balls over here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. My balls are not intelligent. They are not. Dave's got dumb balls. Yeah. There, we said it.
Starting point is 00:46:20 Okay. Okay. Hey. We still love you, dumb balls and all. No challenge is here. The elephant in the room has been called out now, which is what I called those balls. They are quite big. Jumbo.
Starting point is 00:46:33 It's got jumbo balls. Jumbo and Dumbo. Maybe you want to argue with my friends, Jumbo and Dumbo. Oh, please don't beat me out. Oh, I wasn't going to beat you up. I was going to slap you on the face on my balls. It's just going to down trial. I just got a tea bag.
Starting point is 00:46:50 I love my job. Is there something there? So he's out again, back at work. But once out, he continued committing crimes, including tax fraud, and was again charged, and this time fined. Oh, they find him? After living in Paris for six years, he'd built up a large rap sheet. And by this stage, it was 1939.
Starting point is 00:47:24 And David, I don't know if you're in France, a pretty significant year. That is when the second world War broke it Yeah So I thought the saints Sort of won some Some sort of premiership No Dave
Starting point is 00:47:36 They've never won a Premishu They have one Which one? 66 No 39 You've not mentioned that I think I'd know
Starting point is 00:47:45 If the Saints Had won a Premiership in 66 Okay I don't think Paris was very significant To World War II though So It's barely worth mentioning
Starting point is 00:47:53 Oh okay great Yeah Weird Yeah It's the main thing because the Nazi Germany invaded and occupied Paris. Can I ask her an incredibly quick question? Sure.
Starting point is 00:48:03 Is his wife still with him? Yes. Why? I think she might be... In on it? Yeah. I don't know how much in because not many of the stories talk about it, but she definitely, as it gets worse, she was an accomplice.
Starting point is 00:48:17 Oh. It's going to get worse? Yes. What, worse than stealing some oil? I don't believe it. I do say. So, yeah. I feel like every year there's been something.
Starting point is 00:48:30 He's, what is it, 1939? How old's he now? He's early 40s and he's been arrested a lot. Yeah, quite a lot. But also, maybe when there's no charge, maybe there's not a record, I wonder. Or would it just be a long record rap sheet of released, released, released, overturned, acquitted? Obviously one file because there's no like overarching system back then.
Starting point is 00:48:54 Yeah. And then you move, you know. a couple of police stations over and they just don't know who you are anymore. We move out of their jurisdiction. Yeah. So it's now World War II. Paris has been, of France and Paris have been invaded by Germany. And it seems that Dr. Marcel Pettio used the chaos of war to his benefit.
Starting point is 00:49:20 He worked as a member of the resistance, helping provide false medical records for French citizens who were being sent into German labour camps. It's basically people who, if you're picked to go into these labour camps, he would write up a thing saying, actually they're unfit for these reasons and get them out of it. He was actually doing good work finally.
Starting point is 00:49:39 And he also treated sick workers who returned from the camps. All that's interesting articles suggest that this was possibly just to garner public trust and admiration and thus better conceal his illicit acts, which increasingly involved the sale of illegal drugs. That may have worked in part, but not entirely, because in 1942 he was charged, convicted, and fined for over-prescribing narcotics,
Starting point is 00:50:05 something that he'd done throughout his whole career. And I think that's just for the cash, I guess. He's basically like a semi-legit drug dealer. He gets people addicted and then keeps prescribing and making money out of it. I think that's the point of it. Now we're getting to the next section is the fucked section. kind of where he got his nickname, you know, the Satan and all those kind of names. What were the nicknames again?
Starting point is 00:50:29 Yeah. Dr. Satan, so the big one, that's probably what this episode will be called, I think. That's a good one. Also, the demonic ogre and the butcher of Paris. Dr. Satan, Dr. Satan, Dr. Satan, Dr. Satan. Oh, Dr. Satan. Dr. Satan, Dr. Satan, Dr. Satan. Just trying to keep it light.
Starting point is 00:50:50 Thank you. He gave himself a new alias. Dr Eugene and set up what he spruped as an escape network for resistance fighters, including also Jewish people and others who needed to escape the Nazis. According to Colt Nation, he claimed that his network, which he called Fly Tox, just a real modern sort of bad fake corporation name, Fly Tox. Yeah, it does sound like in the 80s, like a movie would, like the bad corporation would be called Fly Tox. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:25 So he claimed that his network flight talks worked in conjunction with Argentinian authorities to safely transport people to South America without the knowledge of the German invaders. When the Gestapo heard about his supposed escape network, though, they infiltrated it. And apparently it was pretty easy to do because he was pretty open about it. He had people out there spruiking it for him trying to get people in, you know, hey, and it was quite expensive. I think the equivalent of something like half a million dollars, you pay him half a million. dollars, he'd get you to Argentina. That is a lot of money.
Starting point is 00:51:58 Yeah, which meant that I don't think he was able to, like a lot of people couldn't afford it, right? The Gestapo heard about the network because it was pretty kind of an open secret. They're like tapping the Gestapo people on the shoulder. Hey, you got 500 grand or get it to Argentina away from these nuts. Nats, oh. Not, nothing, nothing, no worries. Have to go nine, nine, nine, nine, nine. I'm crazy.
Starting point is 00:52:21 La la la, blah. Bye-bye. Oh, don't follow me. But so the Gestapo infiltrated And they believed it was made up Of a large number of spies But it was actually only an operation Of probably single digits
Starting point is 00:52:34 Of one Maybe five I read somewhere Including Petito, his wife And then three other accomplices Maybe his brother Just mentioned one time somewhere The Gestapo jailed Petio
Starting point is 00:52:46 While they investigated And he was in jail for quite a while But they couldn't figure out What was going on They released him What even they had releasing him. Yeah, but apparently what...
Starting point is 00:52:56 They're crazy. Well, what they had... While he was in jail, they were tortured his accomplices and got information out of him. But it was also, it was kind of like this weird scenario where all of a sudden the Gestapo were like almost the good guys in this weird scenario. They're the ones who were trying to figure out what this fucked guy's doing. But they have no idea. I think they think he's doing something good, maybe.
Starting point is 00:53:20 But he's actually also doing something bad. So they let him go. They released him and apparently it was sort of getting late in the war and the Germans had other issues. You know, they had bigger problems. Like what? I think the war was starting to turn against them. Oh. Yeah, no turkeys.
Starting point is 00:53:38 Christmas. Oh. Pretty bad Christmas. That suck. So this, now I'm going to explain what he'd been doing a bit. What Petiot had been doing was taking the people seeking refuge into his home. Then he'd tell them that the Argentinian. government stipulated that they need to be injected with inoculations against various
Starting point is 00:53:59 diseases before they went over to Argentina. But the injections were actually cyanide. What? So we'd take their half a million bucks. And what was that inoculating them against? Life. Oh. So he kills them and then steals whatever money and belongs they have left.
Starting point is 00:54:16 And then he'd get rid of the bodies. Apparently at first he dumped them into the sane, which is I believe the river and Paris. The sen, thank you. But as the Nazi occupation of Paris intensified, it was too risky for him to take the bodies out of his house to dispose of. So he began putting the bodies in vats full of chemicals to dissolve them. And it's also said that he also burnt bodies in a furnace in his basement.
Starting point is 00:54:46 He had a couple of properties as well. Doctors. Yeah. Investment properties. Negative gearing all over the. I'm going to read this next chunk is from that article by Michael Newton. This sort of takes up the scenario from there. On Monday morning, March the 6th, 1944,
Starting point is 00:55:05 foul smoke poured from the chimney of a stylish home at 21 Rue Ler-Sour, Paris. Oh, Rue Lassour, that sounds very stylish. Yeah, I'm not pronouncing any of those words, right? Is that at least say Rue? Yeah, it basically means street. Yeah. Neighbors suspiciously eyed the three-story house with its private stable and courtyard
Starting point is 00:55:26 wants the home of a lesser French princess. I'm introducing yourself. Hello, I am Anastasia. A lesser French princess. I'm a B-grade princess. As the hours then days dragged on with no abatement of the noxious smoke, a neighbor finally went to complain on Saturday,
Starting point is 00:55:47 March the 11th. A week later. Yeah. God, they are patient. Do you reckon either their husband or wife's like, you've got to say something. You've got to. All right. If it's still going tomorrow, no, go on the weekend.
Starting point is 00:55:59 It's been going for seven days, honey. Get out there. That's too much. Yeah. But I guess at the same time they have been living through Nazi occupation in their city. I guess there's like a lot of bad things are happening. But that does sound anyway. So he found a note tacked onto the door and said,
Starting point is 00:56:18 away for one month, forward mail to 18 Rue Day Lombards in Oxy. Police were summoned and a pair of officers arrived on bicycles. Neighbors informed them that the owner of the house, Dr. Marcel Pettio, maintained a separate residence two miles away at 66 Rue Cuman, the one we were talking about before. Some noted the mysterious parade of callers at Dr. Pettio's empty house during the past six months, including nightly visits from a stranger with a horse cart. Some months earlier, two trucks had stopped at number 21, the first removing 47 suitcases,
Starting point is 00:56:56 while the second delivered 30 or 40 heavy sacks of something unknown. I think is this chemical or this substance, lime, I'm guessing, lime something. Oh, that breaks down bodies? I think so. I reckon this is one of few benefits of neighbours being really nosy, because that's when crimes get solved. Yeah, because I had... I had 46 suitcases.
Starting point is 00:57:19 No, honey, it was 47. I counted. You forgot the orange one. It was small. Of course. I couldn't forget the orange one. Remember, we talked about how odd that was. That they had an orange one.
Starting point is 00:57:27 Because I have some very nosy neighbors. Do you? Very, very nosy neighbors. And you're right. The one thing is... They've stopped your crime waves. No one will ever break into the apartment complex because they're always just watching.
Starting point is 00:57:41 Either that, or they'll watch some. one do it and go, yeah, saw him do it. Yeah. I was watching. That's comforting. Yeah. So at least we'll have a description. Right.
Starting point is 00:57:50 Possibly. So they'll be there for the news reporters. Yeah, I saw it happen. Yeah. No, I didn't do anything about it. What do you expect me to do? Right. Reporters are always getting them to describe.
Starting point is 00:58:00 What did it sound like? It was a bang, but what was it like? Like an explosion? Like a bang. What do you want me to say? I'll tell you what, what do you need? Feed me the line. Just feed me the line.
Starting point is 00:58:12 What do you need? You've got a script here. You're trying to get me to say something you need. Just tell me, I'll say it. What it is. Would you, if you saw a reporter, would you talk to him? I feel like I wouldn't. No.
Starting point is 00:58:24 I don't know why, but I just feel like. No. Yeah, I don't know why that instinct is. It's like, go away. I don't know. Talk to the cops. Yes, I talked to the police. Oh, are you stupid?
Starting point is 00:58:37 I'm a knuck. I'm telling them everything. Check out, there's no. I didn't see nothing. Well, obviously it depends. Dave. I mean, what have you done wrong? I didn't see nothing.
Starting point is 00:58:48 You can't make me talk. You got a warrant? Yeah. Get out of here. That's Dave. Okay, okay, 46 suitcases. That's all you're getting out of me. Okay, so this article by Michael Newton goes on.
Starting point is 00:59:05 So there's been people observing all these weird things happening. The officers telephone, and the cops have arrived. on bikes, which is very cute. Very Parisian. There's a baguette in the basket. And a little dog. Yes. And a little dog.
Starting point is 00:59:23 A French bull dog. His name is Officer Woof. And he is the cutest officer on the force. He will crack the curd. He is a good boy. He is a good boy. Officer Wu. We need him to use his little.
Starting point is 00:59:42 the Griss House. Sorry, Dave, I think that was a Belgian accent you just did. So close. So, so close. So, so close. Officer Woof. Officer Woof, telephone de Dr. Petio at home. He asked whether they had entered the house.
Starting point is 01:00:02 You haven't entered the... You haven't checked the downstairs cupboard, have you? You never gone down to the basement and seen all the bodies, have you? Oh, no. Did I clean up the blood, I forget. I have forgotten. I've sent him merch. Got to make a quick call.
Starting point is 01:00:20 And then he forgets to take him up hold. And he's going, honey. Honey, can you go get rid of them bodies? The police are on to us. Doctor, it is still I. Wolf. Officer Wolf is getting a promotion after this, I reckon. This is some good work.
Starting point is 01:00:38 So Officer Wolf's on the phone. Because he's got like a hands-free set of Madonna Mike set up. A headset. Your Gertfer Woof. Goal 1-800-Woof if you have any information. Goethe Woof. Oh, that's a sitcom. He said, you haven't ended up you.
Starting point is 01:01:07 They said, no, no, we haven't. Oh, God. So he cautioned, don't do anything. I'll be there in 15. And a half hour later with the smoke worsening and no sign of patio. People are never, they're always lying about how quickly. Yeah, I always say that. Yeah, I'm five away.
Starting point is 01:01:26 I'm 15 away. Yeah, easily. My GPS is saying 15. You're 20. Yeah. You haven't, you're going to find a park. Yeah. Yeah, you haven't calculated that, haven't you?
Starting point is 01:01:37 Yeah, stupid. Wait for the lift. That always takes a while. That's right. So half hour later he suddenly arrived. The smoke was worsening. There was no sign of him. The patrolman called for firefighters, which makes sense.
Starting point is 01:01:51 Probably could have done that straight up, I reckon. But entering through a second-story window, firemen searched the upper floors before entering the basement. They soon emerged, one vomiting. Oh, gastro. Awful timing. And that's really contagious. I would recommend the others will end up getting it.
Starting point is 01:02:10 Get away. Yeah, stay away from him. It's airborne, mate. You see a doctor. Somebody get off as a wolf. He's a low immune system. And the chief of the fireman told the cops, you have some work ahead of you after coming out of the building.
Starting point is 01:02:29 Three officers. Next went downstairs where the coal-fed stove was found burning full blast, a human arm dangling from its open door. Nearby, a heap of coal was mixed with human bones and fragments of several dismembered bodies. It was impossible to count the victims in this tableau, this tableau of grisly disarray. This is the beautiful wordsmithery of Michael Newton. He's turned in a real fucked up scenario into a tableau of grisly disarray. So hang on a sec.
Starting point is 01:03:05 So he's left the house just with that fire burning. Yeah. And he's been gone a while. Yeah. Like a week. Yeah, at least a full week. Well, the fire has been going for a week anyway. Yeah, but I think, I don't know if I'm in the note on the door is that, is that,
Starting point is 01:03:24 I'm not sure if he's actually been aware, if that's just, he's out at the moment. Or he's probably working, you know, he's probably getting people addicted to drugs up the road or something. Oh, that is just wild and gross. And these are all the rich people that wanted to go to Argentina. Yeah, well, these are the desperate people who are the Nazis are after, right? So Jewish people, people working for the resistance. Yeah, that is Nazis. It's so fucked.
Starting point is 01:03:48 I missed it. He did turn up half an hour later. No, he hasn't turned out. No, he's still on the phone. Right, yeah, okay, sorry. At this stage. Because imagine, like, the police are going in, he's like, uh, but he's not there. Yeah, okay.
Starting point is 01:04:00 No, this is the article continues. Stunned, police left the basement at about the time, Dr. Marcel arrived on his bicycle. He just kept riding. Whoa! He puts on a fake mustache. He keeps going. I am Marcel's brother.
Starting point is 01:04:18 I am the good twin. He arrived on his bicycle and remarked, this is serious. My head could be at stake. Whoa. What? He's realized he might be in trouble because of the cops are. Oh, do you reckon?
Starting point is 01:04:33 He's been arrested like a dozen times and it's never stuck. This is the first time he said, oh, this one's serious. This could be serious. The heaps of bodies and evidence, this could do me in, I reckon. Then after questioning each of the lawmen to ascertain that they were French, Pedio identified the basement dead as Germans and traitors to our country. So first he was like going, wait, so which side are you on? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:56 Because I'm going to tell you they're the bodies of the enemy. I guess is what he's short to her. So if they were Nazis, he would have said, yeah, I'm working for you. I mean, that's what I'm inferring. from that. Pedio claimed to be the head of a resistance group with 300 files at home on Rue Coom Martin, his other place, which must be destroyed before the enemy finds them. The French policeman, embittered by years of Nazi occupation, allowed Petio to leave. What?
Starting point is 01:05:24 Oh. Seven months would pass before they saw him again. What the fuck! So they kind of bought his story enough, and then just in the... Yeah, I guess in a, like a weak moment in the mind, he just let him go rather than going, let you stay with us until we figure out what's going on. Yeah, we'll accompany you to these files. But it's a brutality of the way he's killed.
Starting point is 01:05:49 I'm not saying it's ever okay to kill anyone, but like in that circumstance when he's going, they're baddies. I'm just doing my bit. Yeah. The way that he's done it is next level fucked. that it's, you'd still be like, oh, nah, I don't, I don't think you're quite right. You know, does that a sentence make sense at all? Yeah, well, I think, and I imagine that surely they must have had the thought of.
Starting point is 01:06:19 Yeah. That's a bit extreme. I mean, a firefighter vomited at the scene. Yeah. They see pretty bad stuff. Yeah. So that's the end of that section of that article. But that, I mean, that's a great article if you are wanting to read.
Starting point is 01:06:35 some more. I'll have links to all these articles in their description, but that's quite a good one. So knowing that it would only be a matter of time before they figured out his lie, right? He's like, and they were basically onto him. As soon as like those cops talk to their boss, I think their boss was like, you know, we need to get this guy. But by that stage, he'd already started, he's going into hiding. He also changed his name from, because he was going under Dr. Eugene. Yeah, that's right. This time he's changed it to Henri Valerie. Valerie.
Starting point is 01:07:12 So many opportunities to sing in this episode. I'm loving it. Musical of death. He moved in with one of his patients as well. So he's lying low, new name. And he also changed his appearance. He suggested fake mustache. But it's kind of what he did, grow out his beard and his hair.
Starting point is 01:07:31 Yeah, great. Wow. Hot. I think that every time I get a haircut. And I cut it short, and I'm like, oh, you idiot, grow it out. Grow it out. They're going to be on to you. As Valeri or Valerie, probably Valeri, right?
Starting point is 01:07:46 As Valeri, he joined the French forces of the interior and quickly rose to the rank of captain. What the fuck? Wow. He must be a great talker. He has to be. Where is his wife and son? Where's his son? This is insane.
Starting point is 01:08:02 I think the wife was one that I was working with him, I think. But yeah, the sun would still be pretty young. That was the thing that I, because I don't talk about the sun anymore, but I just mention it because I'm like, through all this, he's had a, there's a toddler. Yeah. He's going off to, what's, what, like, I guess a heaps of bad people have gone home and had a family life, but it's just a wild idea. Yeah, it is. But it's like, do you ever really know someone? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:29 Yeah. Good point. So now he's captain for the French forces of the interior as this new identity. And later in the year, a newspaper ran a story about Petio, which included accusations that he'd work with the Nazis apparently. And that kicked off a search for his whereabouts. And apparently to help with the search, they enlisted the services of Captain Henri Valeri. Hang on. What?
Starting point is 01:08:54 He's now been enlisted to help search for himself. Apparently. What the? The fuck! Whoa. What? The fuck. I only read that in one place, but it was too good.
Starting point is 01:09:08 It feels like some of this stuff is like legend, sort of myth stuff. He looks like you, but without a beard. So I reckon you all know. If you were him without a beard, where would you go? Yeah. Hey, don't worry. We've got our best man on the case. This guy, looks just like him.
Starting point is 01:09:25 And also, Detective Woof. Yes. He's also. been bumped up to detective. He's in plain clothes now? No, he's wearing a little trench coat. He's got a little magnifying glass and a nut pad. Yeah, but he still has to be ridden around in the basket.
Starting point is 01:09:47 Yeah, and he's got a little... Pedal festival. He's got a little bag that has his treats in it. But he has restraint and he's like, oh, no, but I'm a good boy. No, I do not deserve a treater. I've not been a good boy. He continued hiding in plain sight for the following month, but according to all that's interesting again,
Starting point is 01:10:10 he gained so much notoriety as a resistance fighter that a French periodical ran a profile of him. When papers hit the stands, several people recognised him as pedio and alerted police that the murderer, in fact, was still in Paris. So regular people can recognise him very easily, yet the police were like, you there, give us a hand, would you? Did we mention that Detective Woof has facial blindness?
Starting point is 01:10:41 Oh, that's not to joke about it. Yeah, I'm so sorry. You couldn't recognise him. I mean, sometimes, I don't know if you've ever had this mat, but if you have a beard and then you take it off, a dog might bark at you because they don't recognise him. Yeah, so Wolf might not recognise him with a beard. Dogs are, yeah.
Starting point is 01:10:57 That has happened to be quite a few times. So soon after he was recognised, as Petio at a train station in Paris and arrested once again. No. I mean, how many times is that? This is over 10 arrests. He went to trial, yet again. His defense was that everything he did in his role,
Starting point is 01:11:16 was in his role as resistance fighter for France. He admitted to killing, and I think he said even he killed about 63, he admitted to killing 63 people, but he said they're all Germans and their collaborators, right? It was just enemies of France. I killed, but, you know, I killed for country. He claimed no knowledge of why bodies were buried at his house, suggesting that the other members of the fly-tox organization must have done it,
Starting point is 01:11:43 throwing them under the bus. What a prick. The judge and jury dismissed his claims, though, and he was found guilty of 26 murders and 99 other criminal charges. The sentence was... One more. One more charge. Just go, like, steal a pen or something, just to round it up. That gets it up to 125 altogether.
Starting point is 01:12:02 Oh, okay, I'm right with that. The sentence was death by guirteenth. On the 25th of May, 1945, the execution was carried out. A translation of his final words, according to a bunch of different sources, were, gentlemen, I ask you not to look. This will not be very pretty. Oh. Well, yeah, no shit.
Starting point is 01:12:24 And the guys, man, I'm chopping heads off all the time. This is what I do. I chop heads off. This is nothing for me. Your neck gizzards are not going to be any worse than anyone else's neck gizzards. Sorry to talk in medical terms there. Yeah. I meant the goo that comes out when I cut off your neck.
Starting point is 01:12:41 Cut off your neck. Wow. Yeah. So, yeah. Just by cutting off of a neck. Yeah. So he's, I mean, that's a pretty definitive end to it. He is now dead.
Starting point is 01:12:52 That is, he didn't know. Get out of it somehow. No, I think maybe I'll use this as a final thought. This is, again, from the all that's interesting article. And this sort of just talks about what you were talking about before, Bob. It says, the inherent grisliness of murder makes it hard, if not impossible, to describe any murderer as better or worse than another. Still, Marcel Petio was truly superlative in his horror, mainly because of the circumstances and motivations behind his acts. He promised safety and freedom to those leaving Nazi-occupied France, only to strip them of their possessions and lives.
Starting point is 01:13:27 So he's like, that's why he started getting the names like Dr. Satan and etc. Yeah. Yeah. That's very grim. Yeah. And I think that's the grisliness of it is, it's unnecessary. I mean, I'm not saying any type of murder is necessary. You know what I mean.
Starting point is 01:13:46 Like he just goes beyond, like they're already dead. And then he just continues to do gross things. I suppose in a way to just like see what happens. just for, yeah. Just yuck. This is the final line of the, and maybe this will be the final line of the report as well, but from the Michael Newton article.
Starting point is 01:14:09 He said, The blade dropped at 505 a.m. According to the witnesses, Petio was smiling as his head tumbled into the basket. Oh. That's so creepy. Also, why are you doing that at 5 o'clock in the morning? Who's there?
Starting point is 01:14:25 Who's there at that? I got a big dad head chopping. Sure, there's got to be some sort of, it's like how, you know, trades people can't use power tools before 7 a.m. Right. It should be like that. Like, no head chopper until I've had my coffee. You'll live it next to a thing and you're like, oh, great, I'm being working up by the shim. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:44 And the, oh, you know? And the sound of a head rolling into a basket. Yeah, it's a distinctive sound. But once you hear it, you can't unhear it, you know. Wow, Matt, that was gross and amazing. Yeah. I'd never heard of it. And I believe it's quite a well-known story in France,
Starting point is 01:15:02 but it doesn't seem to be super well-known outside of France. Never heard of him either. Wow. Kind of glad I did also. A little scared of him. Yeah. It's a, yeah, just a pretty frightening guy. There's been multiple movies made about his life,
Starting point is 01:15:17 like dramatizations of it. And, you know, he's one of those kind of characters that gets songs and stories. stories and books written about him. Yeah, so I don't know, yeah. It's a weird sort of one. We haven't done a serial killer in a while. I think it's, again, because I find it a little bit easier in their older stories. I feel some distance from it.
Starting point is 01:15:43 But I mean, that's in my grandparents' lifetime. Yeah, definitely. I was just thinking, Matt. But also, if you take out the, I think what differentiates it as well with the other serial killers is that a lot of the time of the serial killers, is that a lot of the time of the serial kill as we tell it from the perspective of like the police trying to find this person and they don't know anything about them. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:16:01 And this guy like did so much that if you took out all the serial killing, you'd be like, wow, he got a lot done in a life, you know? And then you add the serial killing and you're like, okay. Yeah, I mean, that's right. Like he had a whole political career and like he was in the war and then politics and then yeah. And yeah, he, so he died, did I say died in 46. So that means he was 49.
Starting point is 01:16:33 Yes, that is a lot of stuff that happened in 49 years. Yeah, you know, he's achieved a lot. But he's just also done a lot of very bad things. He also literally shot himself in the foot. It's the kind of thing. It's like, yeah, the system really, he just kept getting away with stuff. But hey, so many years later,
Starting point is 01:16:53 with a bit of fun on a podcast, wasn't it? Thank you so much for listening to the Lord. Thank you, Matt. Thank you for sharing that story with us. And thanks to the patrons who voted for it. And of course, Jamie Svet for suggesting it. Sveti. There were shenanities.
Starting point is 01:17:13 Like, I think their description was pretty accurate. Pretty accurate. Yeah. When you said Turkmen Batchie, I was like, well, this person isn't a political person, though, are they? and then they ended up being, you know, the mayor and that other quite high-ranking role, so they were. Yeah. So what we normally do at the end of a report, we have a section of the show called fact quote or question. And in it, what you can do, if you're a Patreon supporter of the show, you can give us a fact, a quote or a question.
Starting point is 01:17:46 If you're on the, what's the section? What's the level here, Dave? Sidney Shineberg, rest in peace, deluxe package.

Yeah, through Patreon, that's the best way. Yep. I'll semi-regularly send out a call-out for them.
Starting point is 01:18:06 But this week's fact quote or question is coming from Patreon, Ben Drakovelich, or Ben Dragovelic. And he has given us a quote. Oh, I like a quote. Yeah, we don't get heaps of quote. but not heaps. Oh, now I'm going to live my life by this quote.

Starting point is 01:18:43 What's your boy Ben said? Yeah, come on. His quote is from an old colleague of his. He says, Rule number one, always lead with the money. Rule number two, never not lead with the money. Asterisk, the money in this scenario being what's most important. Oh, which is always money.
Starting point is 01:19:11 Dave, do you feel comfortable living your life by that? Absolutely. I feel like you already were, to be honest. He just kind of nailed your vibe. Yeah, I'll lead with the money. Yeah. And you never not lead with the money. You know what I end with?
Starting point is 01:19:23 What? The fucking money. Yeah. Okay. Okay. You know, there's a song that I think really sums you up, Dave. It's by a little band called Abba. Okay.
Starting point is 01:19:37 And it goes to something like this. It goes, Give me, give me a man after midnight. Whoa. The old switch to it. I thought we're on that. I just thought I was calling it right. Oh, I definitely could have gone with you on that too, and I decided not to.
Starting point is 01:19:56 I really thought it was going to be. Give me a man after midnight. I thought it was going to be Waterloo for sure. Waterloo. Look, they're all good. That's what we're saying. I thought it was definitely going to be about a certain battle. So thanks so much, Ben.
Starting point is 01:20:10 Oh, your boy. Your boy. Get on your Ben. And can we just lead with the money now by thanking our most valuable patrons. Yeah. We love to thank our. Patrons at the end of the show, Jess gives us a little game to play and a little name game to play, as we think. What if we gave them an alias for when they were going into hiding?
Starting point is 01:20:36 We give them a fake name. Okay. What are they going in hiding for? Everyone's different? Everyone's different. Okay, great. We should say if you want to support us on Patreon, you can go to patreon.com slash do go on Pod. And you get rewards like bonus episodes on certain levels.
Starting point is 01:20:51 and you get shoutouts and you get the fact quote or question and other such things. You get to vote on the topics. There's lots of different fun things. And yeah, also get into a Facebook group and other such stuff. Anyhow, let me kick it off. Could I thank firstly from Perth,
Starting point is 01:21:06 beautiful Perth, sunny Perth, Western Australia. Jessica Bannazac. Oh, nail that pronunciation in my opinion. Jessica, if you disagree, well, bad luck because Dave reckons I nailed it. Yeah, that's fantastic. And if you have mispronounced it, she was missing an accent. Okay.
Starting point is 01:21:28 Yeah. Yes. It's a typo. Chuck a little accent on the top there. And Jessica is going into hiding. She was competing in the Miss Universe pageant. Really? And she went, you know what?
Starting point is 01:21:44 Nah. She left, which should be totally her choice. Yeah. But they actually have very strict contracts. Right. So breach of contract. It's just sort of like a reverse miscongeniality kind of scenario. So she's in hiding for a breach of contract.
Starting point is 01:21:58 Yes. It's going into hiding. She's just going to fly under the radar for a bit. Is she growing her hair out? Oh, yeah, you better believe. That pixie cut that she was rocking. And what name is she given herself? She's now Amber Huntington.
Starting point is 01:22:12 Oh, great. That's a good name. That's a really good name. Thank you. She returns to the Miss World competition. That's actually quite a nice name. Amber Huntington. What's wrong with Jessica?
Starting point is 01:22:22 You don't like Jessica? You don't think Jessica's can win competitions? No. Fair. I think they can, Jess, if you believe you can. Thank you so much, Jessica. I was talking to you, not obviously anyone in the room here with me. I'd also love to thank from Hampton in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
Starting point is 01:22:42 Adam Tregear. Tragear, son, tregear. Okay, I think Adam is gone into hiding because. He spilt a meal in a food court. It was really embarrassing. There was like sauces everywhere. Oh, right, a saucy meal. He made eye contact with the cleaner and was like, I'm so sorry.
Starting point is 01:23:02 I can't deal with this right now. He ran from that shopping centre. Yeah. And he's been on the run for nine months. Wow. Does he not know that they can't identify him? He started a new life. Okay.
Starting point is 01:23:12 That seems extreme. And what's his new name? Dr. Burger. Oh, Dr. Burger. Parting in plain sight because he was eating a burger. Oh. That makes sense. For some reason when you said like sauces are going everywhere,
Starting point is 01:23:23 I just assumed, you know what I was picturing? Like an Asian noodle dish. Oh, yeah. We had that on the side. Oh, hungry ball. I told you was a big meal. You were making me hungry. Wow.
Starting point is 01:23:34 And I reckon, based on his location, I reckon it was at Southland. Yes, it was at Southland, actually. Knew it. Read about it in the news, mate, all the front pages. Adam, just go home. It's okay. Dr. Burger. The cleaner just cleaned it up, mate.
Starting point is 01:23:48 Nobody else noticed. That was worse. deal with poo and vomit. All the time. Probably. Honestly, there was like three other people in the food court at the time and they went, that's a bit weird that he's run off. But they have not thought of you since.
Starting point is 01:24:01 Your family are worried. Just come home. It's okay. If you've started a new family, bring them along too, I guess. Like the more the merrier, we just want you home safe. The burger family. The burger family. So thank you to Adam.

Starting point is 01:24:46 Yeah, he's gone on a hiding. For what? Well, he went from, being a top line fighter pilot. Oh. And he fought one too many of his comrades in the mess hall. And the last one he fought was Johnny Johnson. Johnny Johnson.
Starting point is 01:25:08 And Johnny Johnson, unfortunately, he was a lowly private, as he called him as he was, as he was slimmed the boot in. But unfortunately, Johnny Johnson's old man, Greg. H. Geraldine Johnson is second in charge of the whole goddamn Sky Army. So he is in a pickle. Right. And he goes, that's it. I'm out. And he stole one of the planes.
Starting point is 01:25:34 And he flew to Upper Ohio. Oh. Yeah, all the way up to the top of the state. And started a career as a talkback radio host. But he puts on a funny voice. What does he sound like? Hey, you're on the radio here with me, Jiminy Gigi. Jiminy Gigi is his...
Starting point is 01:25:54 I'm taking your calls. Wow. And no one suspected a thing until now, and obviously we've blown this wide open. I would listen to that show. Would you listen to Jiminy Gigi? Jiminy here. What's happening? I'm listening.
Starting point is 01:26:12 Wow, there's a lot of... Wow, do you listen? Shush, I'm talking here. I'll be listening in a second. It's really quite confronting to look at. Yeah, well, thank God this is on radio. Yeah, because his face is terrifying. So Glenn Mitchell or Jiminy Gigi,

Starting point is 01:26:47 Yeah. Confident. Luke Harbour. What would you say that? Luke, I am your harbour. Okay. Well, if we were naming their debut albums, sure. We're not.
Starting point is 01:27:07 That's a great debut album name. Dave, I am your harbour. What's Luke on the run from? Luke is on the run. Man on the run. Run. He went fishing with his best friend. What's his best friend in?
Starting point is 01:27:26 Sweet baby Joe. Sweet baby Joe. That's what he called him. And they went fishing together and they hooked onto a fish while Luke would tell you he got it first. Sure. Sweet baby Joe will tell him he got it first. But they double hooked this fish and then they pulled it in. It was like a record catch for Pennsylvania.
Starting point is 01:27:44 Yeah. And they got it back into the boat after like hours of battling the fish. And they battled it. it out as to who caught the fish. I'm afraid Luke lost the battle. Right. But he stole the fish. No.
Starting point is 01:27:56 He's gone into hiding. Yeah, fair enough. With a fish that is rotting. Yeah, but a really big rotting fish. But what's he changed his name to while he's hiding? Diamond tooth Chris. Oh, yeah, that's good. Yeah, that is good.
Starting point is 01:28:10 I don't suspect him. Diamond tooth Chris. Thank you, Luke. I've already forgotten he did anything. Did what? I mean, he has had a diamond installed into his So when he smiles, he goes, ping. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:28:22 He goes, I trust this guy. It's very distracting, and therefore people don't ask you any questions about where you've come from. Yeah. Thank you, Diamond Tooth. Luke Harbour. Oh, beautiful. Thank you, Luke. All right, let me thank a couple of people now.
Starting point is 01:28:35 Both of them, from Australia. I would like to thank from Yokeen, Western Australia. Yonkeen. I would like to thank Andrew Martin. Oh, another double first-nameer. Thank you so much. Martin. Hello.
Starting point is 01:28:51 What's his story, Bob? Andrew Martin was playing golf. Really? What wonder we get that from? Just a quick nine holes. Your imagination is wild. Thank you. And there was an albatross on the green.
Starting point is 01:29:11 Oh, wow. And Andrew was actually, he was losing quite badly to his friend Greg. The albatross really just pissed you. So he hit it with his golf club. He hit an albatross. He hit an albatross. That's bad. Yeah, it's very bad.
Starting point is 01:29:27 He should be on the run. It was really bad. With their video footage? No. Has he gone viral? That's the thing, right? So this is all been speculated by his friend, Greg. Okay.
Starting point is 01:29:39 Nobody saw Andrew hit the albatross. Right. There's no evidence of it. But Andrew was suddenly gone and the albatross was suddenly gone. Is Andrew and or the albatross was suddenly gone? No. Okay. Andrew was just like, I can't handle the heat, man.
Starting point is 01:29:55 Yeah. Oh, well, if you can't handle the heat, you leave the golf in green. Yeah. So he has, he's currently just in high, he's just laying low for a little bit. Okay. He went to the shops the other day, I had to get some groceries. Someone said, oh, it's your name. And he panicked.
Starting point is 01:30:10 And he said his name was Greg Norman. Oh, no. That's smart. Oh, wait. And then they said, oh, like the golf, oh, he said, oh, no. I get that all the time. Oh, no, because that makes people start thinking about golf stories they've heard recently. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 01:30:25 Oh, that reminds me of an albatross I heard it was beaten to death on a golfing green. And he took those groceries and he ran. Oh, no. So now he's also stolen groceries. He's committed crimes in two states now. I don't think I should be allowed to play the game I came up with. No, that's Andrew Martin, okay Greg Norman. Yep.
Starting point is 01:30:43 Thank you. Thank you so much. Remember we tried to tweet at Greg Norman to let me do comedy on his boat? Yeah. And we never heard from him? I really like the moxie we showed that day, and I think it should have been rewarded. I think Greg right back. Yeah, this is weird.
Starting point is 01:30:56 Maybe he's just waiting for the right time, for the right shin dig on his yacht. Yeah, okay. I reckon I was that. I mean, you're just going to have one. It's just him. Well, he certainly could, but he's like, no, the people need to see this. Yeah, his people will call your people, I assume. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:31:06 And hopefully that's me because I was the one of tweeted saying, hey, get my friend Jess on. She's very funny. Thank you, Dave. I needed that. It just does feel a little bit like he doesn't get it. But that's his loss, not mine. Well, I'll tell you someone who does get it. And that is from Adelaide, our final person to think this week, from Adelaide, Adrian Newman.
Starting point is 01:31:24 Oh, Adrian. New man. Oh, this works so well for Adrian. So to become a new man, why did he have to become a new man? Oh, what? I mean, it's a complex-laid question. It is in some ways. And otherwise it's not insurance fraud.
Starting point is 01:31:39 Yeah. Okay. Who did he rip off? Oh, buddy. Who didn't he rip off? Tell me the last person you want to rip off. The man. Yeah, that's who he ripped up.
Starting point is 01:31:49 Well, no. No, Adrian. Yeah, he did. No, Adrian. Jerry Harvey from Harvey Norman. Wow. Yeah. I think it was the man.
Starting point is 01:31:58 Yeah, wow. We all do. Because he got an insurance thing on a microwave and he used it fraudulently somehow. Yep. Wow. Yep. He returned it when he didn't need to.
Starting point is 01:32:10 Yeah. Yeah. So obviously initially from South Australia, but Newman is now, he's changed his name to Junt Junt Junt?
Starting point is 01:32:27 Yeah, just Junt. He's like, it's like Adel. Just Junt. Just Junt. I'm like Prince. He's also speaking in an accent to throw people off some of what. J-U-N-T.
Starting point is 01:32:41 J-U-N-T. J-U-N-T. That's what he says, I'm just J-N.

But anyway, yeah. He's yelled at you from a height. Anyway, jaunt. Yeah. I'm thanking there.
