The true crime docuseries Monique Olivier: Accessory to Evil (Original title: L’Affaire Fourniret) hit Netflix on March 2nd, and the internet has been shaken ever since. Check out how Twitter is reacting to the shocking new series below.
Synopsis:
From 1987 to 2003, Michel Fourniret cemented his legacy as France’s most infamous murderer. But his wife was an enigma: Was she a pawn or a participant?

For context, Michel Fourniret was a known rapist and serial killer. While he was implicated in 12+ murders, he was only convicted of 8 before he died in 2021. His victims’ ages range from 9-year-olds to 30-year-olds. It’s an awful situation, to say the least.
Fourniret met Monique Olivier through a prison pen pal program while incarcerated for assaulting a young girl in 1966. He wrote to her that he wanted to rape and kill virgins once he got out, and she offered her assistance. They teamed up to follow through on his plans and evaded authorities for a long time.
Some of the victims’ families are still waiting for justice all these decades later. This is why Olivier’s role in the murders is finally being brought to the forefront in the French courts.
Viewers have taken to Twitter to give others content warnings. Others are sharing articles and details about the known victims. However, most are demanding that Olivier pays for her crimes.
