The Serpent: How Herman Knippenberg helped bring French serial murderer Charles Sobhraj, Asia's 'Bikini Killer,' to justice - CNN

“The scene at the police mortuary in Thailand's capital, Bangkok, on March 3, 1976, remains clear in the mind of former Dutch diplomat Herman Knippenberg. He says it was the most shocking thing he saw in 30 years of foreign service, and sparked a decades-long personal endeavor to bring the alleged killer to justice.

"I had the feeling that I was stepping outside of myself -- that I'm on the side, watching the scene," he recalled in an interview earlier this year.
Knippenberg would later learn the Dutch couple in the morgue were among at least a dozen people Charles Sobhraj admitted to killing -- though he later recanted. "The Serpent," a new BBC/Netflix drama series coming to the streaming service in April, tells how for years, Sobhraj evaded the law across Asia as he allegedly drugged, robbed and murdered backpackers along the so-called "hippie trail" -- and how for years, Knippenberg worked with authorities to capture him.
Sobhraj is now serving a life sentence in a Nepalese jail for killing two tourists in 1975. But many of his alleged murders remain unresolved -- and for Knippenberg, the case still doesn't feel completely closed.“

Yes I was there. Twice actually. Good for you to remember. First time ole Bob collapsed before Court so the day got cancelled. Went the 2nd time. Full day of Court. I know Michigan well due to Family there and attending Plays, Musicals so I was comfortable crossing border etc. Reporters in front of us were great to chat with and the one Defense Atty. Lillian (Last name?) passed out mints as it seemed everyone in the 1 st couple of rows were getting over colds LOL
