Nicolas Claux - The Vampire of Paris - On Nov. 15, 1994, officers of the Parisian "Brigade Criminelle" arrested 22-year-old Nicolas Claux outside the world famous cabaret Moulin Rouge on suspicion of the murder of Thierry Bissonnier, 34.� Bissonniers October 4 killing was one of a string of homosexual murders, seven of which occurred in October alone. The murder squads preliminary investigator, Gilbert Thiel, believed that a single killer was responsible and was eager to get Claux back to headquarters for questioning.Claux says that Thiel, veteran of several high-profile cases, was not prepared for the web of murder, cannibalism, and sadistic acts that he had woven in his short lifetime.

This is a pop up card (on card stock) that Claux hand made and drew while in prison in 1998. This is the only card of it's kind that we have seen from Claux and is a one of a kind item!

The card features a coffin cut out on the front and when opened a cemetery comes to life -. Bathory's tombstone ws well as a crying woman pops up. The back of the card features a horned demon. Claux has hand signed the inside as well as the back of the card and has dated it 1998.

Interesting that Claux sent the card during the Christmas holiday season - evident on the underside as he wishes the recipient 'Greetings of the Season and Best Wishes for 1999".

Card measures: 4"x6" closed 8"x6" opened.
