Her name was Brigitte Dewèvre. Assassinated in 1972, she was the daughter of minors and her story got lost in the tumult of a confrontation reviving the class struggle. The Bruay-en-Artois case was a foreshadow of other “media monsters” such as the Ranucci case in 1974 or the one of the little Gregory in 1984.

April 5, 1972, Brigitte Dewèvre is fifteen when she leaves her family’s red-bricked mining village. The Dewèrves are a modest and typical family of this working-class town in the North of France, where life is punctuated by work in the mines. The next day, the teen girl’s naked body is found in a wasteland, thirty meters from her parent’s house. At the heart of this case, an overworked and stubborn cop, the detective Ollier, and the discreet but renowned magistrate Henri Pascal, nicknamed the “little Judge Pascal”, as well as two suspects who are the symbol of a deep social divide. Step by step, this sinking case turned into a fact of society with many implications.

For the past five decades, the search for this phantom culprit never ceased to amaze: the historical reporter Jean Ker, a special correspondent for Paris Match who became close to the Dewèvre and anonymous people remain convinced that the truth might still come out at some point. Especially since other unsolved criminal cases in the area engage the possibility of a serial killer on the loose.
