==== Marie-Thérèse Marchadier (13 January 1919) ==== '''Marie-Thérèse Marchadier'''<ref group="n">Also spelled Marchandier.{{harvnb|Monesutie|1991|pp=99-100}}</ref> (37, though reported as 36 in one source{{sfn|Shōshin Shobō|1997|p=2833}}), originally from Bordeaux, ran a small boarding house on Rue Saint-Jacques, Paris, and engaged in prostitution. She was known for walking her two beloved Belgian Griffon dogs.<ref name="Tomlinson71"/> Heavily indebted, she contacted Landru (under an alias) in late 1918, possibly after seeing an ad offering to buy furniture, or perhaps having met him years earlier.{{sfn|Wiruson|Pittoman|1963|p=146}}<ref name="Tomlinson71"/> Landru, needing cash himself, borrowed from his wife to potentially buy Marchadier's property. He proposed marriage; she replied her only wish was to live in the country.{{sfn|Wiruson|Pittoman|1963|p=146}} He took her to Gambais on January 9, 1919. Despite her strong will, she agreed to cohabit and sell her furniture, receiving 2,000 francs after returning briefly to Paris.{{sfn|Wiruson|Pittoman|1963|p=146}} On January 13, 1919, Landru escorted her back to Gambais, reportedly carrying two bags of coal.{{sfn|Wiruson|Pittoman|1963|p=146}} She disappeared that day.{{sfn|Shōshin Shobō|1997|p=2831}}{{sfn|Rēn|Gureggu|1995|p=198}} On January 16, neighbours reported nauseatingly foul smoke pouring from the villa's chimney.{{sfn|Shōshin Shobō|1997|pp=2830-2835}} {{Gallery |title=Victims associated with Gambais |File:Berthe Héon.jpg|Berthe Héon |File:Anna Collomb.jpg|Anna Collomb |File:Andrée Babelay.jpg|Andrée Babelay |File:Célestine Buisson.jpg|Célestine Buisson |File:Jaume, Louise Léopoldine.jpg|Louise Jaume |File:Anne-Marie Pascal.jpg|Anne-Marie Pascal |File:Marie-Thérèse Marchadier.jpg|Marie-Thérèse Marchadier }}
