A quiet graduate student. A trusted classmate. A crime that shocked the world.
In June 1981, Issei Sagawa invited fellow student Renée Hartevelt to his apartment in Paris under the guise of reading German poetry together. She trusted him. She never made it home.
Sagawa confessed to the m**der almost immediately. The evidence was overwhelming, and there was little doubt about what had happened. But instead of standing trial, he was declared legally insane by a French court. Years later, he was transferred back to Japan, where he was eventually released—never having been convicted in a criminal court.
How does someone admit to one of the most infamous m**ders in modern history and still walk free?
In this episode, we’ll uncover the timeline of the crime, the investigation that followed, the psychological evaluations, and the international legal decisions that continue to spark debate more than four decades later. Most importantly, we’ll remember the life of Renée Hartevelt, the young woman whose story deserves to be told with dignity and respect.
