Episode 109: The Vampire of Düsseldorf (Case of Peter Kürten)
This night was special from the rest - he felt his stomach rumble violently. Oh no. He bent over and threw up everything…
What was the problem? He was used to drinking all night - in fact, it was his only true joy.
Maybe it was her fault. He looked down at the girl laying on the ground covered in her own blood.
Maybe her blood just didn’t sit right in his stomach.
He is after all, the Vampire of Düsseldorf.
