Seeing the pictures were heartbreaking. Such a tragic journey of jealousy and evil humanity. I wish that Muriel had protection instead of being exposed. I feel like she was initially trying to do the right thing. Fear is a cruel beast.

2023-05-08 17:50:56 +0000 UTCNetflix has done a good documentary on this 'who killed Little Gregory '. Having lived through this drama in my teens (as in it happened not that far from me), Netflix came up with details I didn't know.

2023-05-08 17:47:56 +0000 UTCThis was a hard listen for me... I was about 14 years old when it happened. So Muriel Bollé's age. It happened about 2.5 hours 'down the road' (I live in a neighbouring country). My mom had the French radio station RTL on 24 hours a day. So there was no escaping from this so to speak. The main TV channels we watched were also the French ones (TV1, A2, FR3) and my dad's newspaper was the Le Monde. So, for months, everywhere we looked all we saw was this little dude's smiling face. I think it's the one true crime story that will have me in tears every time. What wasn't touched upon, but came out in the Netflix series, is how one journalist (and his wife) wrote for 8 different newspapers/magazines under different names and who (negatively) influenced the judicial proceedings. He kinda poked the hornet's nest by insinuating certain things. This also railroaded/misguided the magistrate Lambert (who honestly was too inexperienced to deal with this case). Together with the Dutroux (in a prison about half an hour from where I live) case it shaped my youth... And are the origin of my fascination with true crime.
