January 5, 1933 - Nestor Pirotte

Operating in Belgium across a career of violence that predated the country's more internationally known criminal cases, Pirotte earned his nickname through a pattern of killings that left investigators uncertain of the full scope of his crimes. The gap between confirmed convictions and suspected victims points to the difficulty authorities faced in building cases against him. His place in Belgian criminal history reflects not just individual acts but what remained unresolved.
