crime stories - the vampire rapist

Chris Triffo, Canada, 2005
Synopsis

A sexual sadist, obsessed with the desire to bite female breasts, Canadian Wayne Boden became infamous as the 'Vampire Rapist,' after his distinctive modus operandi. Stalking his victims in the neighborhood of Montreal, he sparked a two-year reign of terror with attacks that drew particular attention for their brute ferocity. On July 23, 1968, Norma Villancourt, a 21-year old teacher, was found dead in her Montreal apartment. She had been raped and strangled, her breasts savaged with bite marks, but police reported no evident signs of a struggle. In fact, a pathologist noted the victim had died with a passive, faint smile on her face. <> is a documentary series chronicling some of the most intriguing crimes in Canadian history. This investigative series takes the viewers behind the scenes: revealing what occurred, introducing the people involved, unveiling techniques used in solving the crime, exposing the emotion experienced by those effected and the final resolution of the case.
