Where Is Monique Now? The Serial Killer Michel Fourniret’s Wife Updated

Netflix’s latest true-crime documentary miniseries, “Monique Olivier: Accessory to Evil,” follows the case of the most notorious serial killer in France, Michel Fourniret. Monique Olivier was the wife of notorious French serial killer Michel Fourniret. Michel Fourniret and Monique Olivier's paths first crossed when she responded to an advert he placed in a newspaper, looking for a penpal.
This was in the 1980s when he was behind bars, serving time for sexual assault. Their letters later revealed that upon his release in 1987, if Fourniret was to kill her first husband, she would assist him in finding young virgins. Just two months after he was released, their murder spree began through France and Belgium, lasting almost two decades. Where is Monique now? Here is all updated information.

Fourniret was a serial killer who was convicted in 2008 of killing seven women and girls aged between 12 and 22 after raping or attempting to rape them. He died at the La Pitié-Salpêtrière hospital in Paris where he was admitted on April 28 from the nearby Fresnes prison. His murderous spree spanned from 1987 to 2001. Fourniret, who had admitted a fascination for virgins, was arrested in 2003 after a 13-year-old girl escaped from his van and called the police.
By that time, he was one of Europe's most notorious serial killers. Dubbed the "Ogre of the Ardennes", he committed most of his crimes in the wooded Ardennes region of northern France and in Belgium. At the time, police missed a series of opportunities to snare Fourniret and the lessons learned helped bring about reforms in the way French police investigate serial murders.

Among the victims was 20-year-old Leeds University language student Joanna Parish who was killed in the Burgundy countryside in May 1990.It was only in June 2003 that Fourniret was finally caught when he tried to kidnap a 13-year-old girl but she was able to unbind her hands and escape his van. She gave the police his licence plate number and Fourniret was subsequently arrested. Monique Olivier will reportedly stand trial later this year for her role in Joanna Parish's murder.

Fourniret's wife Olivier was revealed to have helped him commit the murders, picking up the victims and driving around the wooden Ardennes area with their baby son in the back.She was accused of helping him track down and capture the young women before assisting in hiding their bodies.When he was arrested, Olivier told Belgian police in 2004 that he had committed nine murders which she had participated in several of.As a result, the former nurse was given a minimum sentence of 28 years in prison, which she is still serving, for her complicity in multiple murders, including that of Joanna Parrish.
Since Fourniret was dead by now, Monique was the only hope to find the body, but she seemed to have intentionally misled the police about the location. In the end, it does seem like not everything Monique Olivier said was true, and it is possible that the woman simply enjoyed the power to manipulate. Monique continues to live in prison and will be able to apply for parole in 2032 when she is 84 years old. Unless more incriminating evidence in some of the open cases can still be found against her and her sentence is harshened accordingly.
