A Serial Killer in Nazi Paris

World War II was a dark time in human history, known for being the deadliest conflict in the history of mankind.

Human losses in the war are estimated to be between 70- and 85-million.

One factor that is often overlooked as a cause of death during the war is murder. Opportunistic killers used the chaos of war to commit various atrocities in the shadows.

A Serial Killer in Nazi Paris unearths the shocking story of Dr. Marcel Petiot, a respected French doctor and town mayor - who was also a violent psychopath.

During World War II, as Nazi forces spread fear and paranoia across France, Petiot exploited the chaos, preying on Jews, partisans and fugitives desperate to escape Hitler's forces.

Posing as a Resistance operative, he created a fictional "escape network", offering passage to South America.

Yet there is no network.

Instead, Petiot lured his victims to a secret location in Paris, murdered them, stole their valuables and disposed of their remains in the Seine.

Soon, he was hunted by both the Gestapo - who believed he was a real Resistance member - and the French police.
