As France24 explains — and bear with us, because this gets worse – Michel Fourniret was married twice before meeting his perfect bride. Born in 1942, he apparently loved chess, literature, and lived in “a sprawling chateau,” all of which is fantastic if not for all the remorseless murder. While in prison for sexual assault in the 1980s, Fourniret put out an ad looking for a pen pal, per The Guardian. Monique Olivier replied, and plotted with Fourniret to murder her husband in exchange for helping to “find him virgins.” She waited for him on his release day in 1987, and the two set out on their 15-year-long serial killing road trip, along the way becoming what criminal prosecution would describe as the “devil with two faces.” Incidentally, Fourniret never killed Olivier’s previous husband, presumably because he didn’t meet the virgin woman requirement.

France24 states that Fourniret — who fits the textbook definition of a serial killer — felt compelled to kill twice a year. While in jail he befriended a bank robber, who apparently told him the location of a stash of gold buried in a graveyard, which sounds ridiculous but is true. Fourniret used this money to purchase property and fund his and Olivier’s ventures. Once Olivier selected a victim and lured her to the designated location, they’d tie the woman up,used and Olivier would — apologies — check the woman’s hymen to determine whether or not she was actually a virgin.
