THIS DAY IN HISTORY (TDIH)
JUN-11 <<<< JUN-12 >>>> JUN-13
LOCATION:
Paris, France
WHAT HAPPENED:
Renee Hartwelt, disappeared on this day in 1981.
The next day, witnesses saw an Asian man dumping two large suitcases and called the police. Inside the suitcases they found the remains of a woman, with some parts missing.
A few days later the suitcase was traced to a thirty-three year-old Japanese named Issei Sagawa. The police searched his flat and found the dead girl's lips, her left breast and both buttocks in this refrigerator.
Eventually Sagawa confessed and was found incompetent to stand trial.
He was pronounced "cured" and released in September 1985. Soon after, he wrote a book, In the Fog, about his crime.
