Episode notes
Modern-Day Parallel
- Henry Zebrowski realized that Jared Fogle's 'pants' act mirrored Gilles de Rais's pre-murder performances.
- Both used a 'show' to lure victims, with Fogle using his weight-loss pants and de Rais using theatrical displays.
Church of Innocence
- Gilles de Rais founded the 'Chapel of the Holy Innocence', a church that served as a cover for his crimes.
- This act, along with his lavish spending, further alienated him from his peers and raised suspicions.
Theatrical Manipulation
- De Rais's theatrical productions, like his church, were a blend of extravagance and manipulation.
- By creating a spectacle, he could control his image and distract from his darker pursuits.
