description: "Joseph Vacher was a French serial killer, rapist, and necrophile who killed between 11 and 50 people, many of them adolescent farm workers, between 1894 and 1897. He was contemporarily called \"le tueur de bergers\", but upon his capture became more commonly known as \"The French Ripper\" or \"L'éventreur du Sud-Est\", owing to comparisons to the more famous Jack the Ripper murderer of London, England, in 1888. Vacher's scarred face and plain, white, handmade rabbit-fur hat composed his trademark appearance."
