Background= Landru was born into a modest Parisian working-class family. His father, an upright and religious man, worked as a stoker in an industrial foundry while his mother was a seamstress. Little Henri proved to be a great student, with great ambitions. In 1889, he was forced to marry his first cousin Marie Reny because of an unwanted pregnancy. He had four children with her. During that time, Landru initially tried to make a living as a garage guard and clerk, but the desire to achieve a higher standard of living led him to crime. Between 1902 and 1914, he committed some minor crimes that earned him three successive prison sentences, which led to the suicide of his father, who, embarrassed by the behavior of his son, hanged himself from a tree in the Bois de Boulogne. One afternoon in 1909, Landru went to meet a widow named Madame Izoret, who in a press advertisement offered her estate in exchange for a husband to keep her company. The scammer showed up at her house and offered her company based on empty promises and then took 20,000 francs. Over time, Madame Izoret became suspicious until she reported the scammer, who was arrested. During that conviction for fraud, Landrú would come to prefigure one of the facets with which he would later develop his criminal plans, maturing the possibility of continuing to be the perfect companion of lonely widows but murdering them so that they could not accuse him. In 1914, Landru escapes a several-year sentence for the last of his frauds. The scarcity of evidence, his different personalities and the outbreak of the Great War favored his escape. World War I provided Landru with the opportunity to hone his talent as a comforter of young widows. Given that the casualties that occurred daily on the battle front constantly increased the number of widows, who placed marriage advertisements in the newspapers, Landru understood that a man like him, still attractive and young, could take advantage of this situation. And that's how the future murderer once again published advertisements in the press. The one with the greatest impact was one that appeared in Le Journal in which it said "Widower, two children, forty-three years old, solvent, affectionate, serious and on the rise in society wishes to meet a widow with marriage desires." Immediately hundreds of women responded to his proposal. Landru was discarding all those with little chance. To the others, he sent a response to gather more information and ensure the profitability of the affair. The first selected was Jeanne Cuchet, a beautiful 39-year-old woman, with a son and about 5,000 francs saved. Landru rented an apartment in the Vernouillet neighborhood and adopted the identity of Raymond Diard, postal inspector, coming from Lille due to the German occupation. This "Bluebeard" was an excellent and polite suitor who evidently promised marriage to Madame Cuchet. But, in January 1915, when their suspicions began, mother and son disappeared forever. Landru disposed of them in the small apartment and then burned them in the fireplace. Subsequently, Landru continued his criminal method. He rented a house on the outskirts of Paris. There he was inviting his successive conquests, under the promise of marriage. He got the second victim from him. Again a widow with more money than the previous one, Madame Laborde-Line. With her he followed the same technique as with Madame Cuchet, he introduced himself as Dupont, an employee of the secret service, and at the same time he proposed that she go live outside of Paris, keeping her savings to invest in that disastrous time of war. Shortly after, Madame Laborde-Line would be murdered and burned in the living room of the Parisian house.
