August 14, 1973 - Jacques Plumain
Operating across the Franco-German border in the late 1990s and early 2000s, Plumain was convicted of two killings but has long been considered a suspect in additional deaths that were never fully resolved in court. The cross-border nature of his crimes complicated both investigation and prosecution, and the gap between convictions and suspected victims remains a defining feature of his case. His eligibility for parole since 2021 has kept the matter a subject of ongoing public attention.
