The evil:



The synopsis:

A documentary that unearths the shocking story of Dr Marcel Petiot, a respected French rural doctor and town mayor who is also a calculated and violent psychopath.

During World War II, as Hitler’s forces march into France and spread fear and paranoia throughout the country, Petiot uses the confusion to prey on those most in fear for their lives - Jewish people, partisans and criminals being pursued by the Nazis.

Posing as a resistance operative, he creates an elaborate, fictional “escape network”, offering to help the oppressed flee from the occupied zone to the freedom of South America. Yet there is no network.

Instead, Petiot leads his victims to a secret location in the wealthy suburbs of Paris, murders them, steals their valuables, and disposes of their dissected body parts in the river Seine.

As the corpses begin to pile up, soon Petiot is being hunted down both by the Gestapo, who believe he really is a member of the Resistance, and the French police, who fear that this intelligent, charismatic doctor could be the deadliest serial killer to have ever stalked the streets of Paris.
