True Crime


The people in today's episode had taken up a rather thrilling hobby, skydiving. So there are three main people involved in what you could actually call a love triangle. Els van Doren was a 38-year old mother of two, married to an Antwerp jeweller and was an experienced skydiver who had performed 2300 jumps. Els was friends with 26-year old Els Clottemans, who was a primary school teacher in Brussels. At one point, Els suggested that everyone in the skydiving club call her younger friend "Babs", so that there would be less confusion. Both women were having an affair with their Dutch skydiving instructor Marcel Somers, and all three of them belonged to the Zwartberg parachute club in eastern Flanders.
