-Tony Van den Boggaert, a family acquaintance of [[Regina Louf]] (witness X1), operated as her pimp from her early teens during the 1970s and 1980s in Ghent, Belgium. Louf claimed Van den Boggaert, a friend of her family, took control of her prostitution at age 12, leasing her to parties organized by [[Jean-Michel Nihoul]]. Van den Boggaert transported Louf to locations including Amsterdam brothels and Brussels mansions equipped with hidden cameras for blackmail. He managed her schedule, ensuring she performed sexual acts with clients at these events, where she was used as entertainment for businessmen and politicians. Louf stated Van den Boggaert introduced her to Nihoul's circle, where she was sold for services at parties escalating to violence. He accompanied her to the 1984 murder of [[Christine Van Hees]] at a mushroom farm in Brussels, where she was forced to watch the torture and killing by Dutroux, Nihoul, [[Bernard Weinstein]], and lawyer Michel Vander Elst. Van den Boggaert's role extended to facilitating her participation in orgies at Nihoul's chateau in the Ardennes, where contracts were sealed with sexual acts involving children.[^1]
+Tony Van den Bogaert was a friend of the family of [[Regina Louf]], the witness X1 in the [[Marc Dutroux]] investigation, in Ghent. Louf's parents admitted to police that Van den Bogaert, then in his forties, had had a key to their home and unlimited access to their twelve-year-old daughter, and he admitted his relationship with her to police. In 2002 he was living on the border of Belgium and the Netherlands and had not been prosecuted.[^1] On April 23, 1998, in a confrontation with Louf, a man described as her "so-called protector" admitted that he had had sex with her when she was twelve, with her parents' knowledge, and had once lent her to others; the admission was not pursued because the acts were time-barred.[^2]

-Van den Boggaert's involvement in Louf's exploitation began after her grandmother [[Cecile Beernaert]] introduced her to the network through childhood prostitution at a Knokke-Heist brothel near [[Royal Zoute Golf Club]]. Louf described him as her "owner" after Beernaert, managing her as a child prostitute leased to Nihoul's parties. He drove her to these events, where she was trafficked to clients including [[Paul Vanden Boeynants]] at locations like the Dolo nightclub and Faulx-les-Tombes chateau. Van den Boggaert ensured compliance with threats and drugs, positioning her for filmed blackmail. Louf's testimony detailed a 1983 incident with Carine Dellaert, where Van den Boggaert delivered her to a house for rape after childbirth, involving Nihoul and Dumont. His activities aligned with the broader network documented in the [[X-Dossier]], where Louf identified him as a key figure in her grooming and transport.[^1]
+### Louf's Account

-Van den Boggaert died in 1995, halting potential testimony before the X-Dossier's compilation in 1996. His death, reported as suicide, occurred amid the network's operations, with no autopsy details disclosed. Louf claimed he maintained records of events, but no such documents surfaced in the investigation. His association with Nihoul's parties, where he supplied Louf, linked to business contracts and elite attendees like Counts [[Count Leopold Lippens]] and [[Count Maurice Auguste Lippens]]. The X-Dossier summary noted Van den Boggaert's role in providing girls to these gatherings, with Louf describing him driving her to Amsterdam's red light district for prostitution.[^1]
-
-### Role in Exploitation
-Van den Boggaert controlled Louf's prostitution from age 12, arranging encounters at Nihoul's Avenue Louise mansion with built-in cameras capturing acts for leverage in business deals. Louf testified he filmed some sessions himself, using the footage for further blackmail. He took her to the 1984 Van Hees murder at the factory farm, where she was locked in another room during the torture. For Dellaert, Van den Boggaert brought Louf to the site where she assisted the birth before the group rape, with the baby taken away. Louf's accounts placed him at orgies where children were used as incentives for contracts, with violence escalating to snuff for high-paying clients.[^1]
-
-Louf described Van den Boggaert's family ties facilitating her entry into the network, with Beernaert selling her to him around age 12. He leased her services to Nihoul, who hosted events at the Dolo and chateau, where Louf performed oral and anal acts with multiple men, filmed for binding agreements. Van den Boggaert ensured her availability for hunts in the Ardennes, where children fled woods, caught and abused based on payment. He introduced her to drugs and violence, preparing her for parties with elites like Vanden Boeynants, where she was branded and forced into acts with dogs at ASCO factory.[^1]
-
-Van den Boggaert's pimp role included transport in his car for these events, from Ghent to Brussels and beyond. Louf stated he had sexual relations with her from an early age, contributing to her dissociative identity disorder. His 1995 death by suicide prevented cross-examination, but Louf's testimony in the X-Dossier detailed his facilitation of her abuse, tying to [[Jean-Marc Connerotte]]'s probe. No further criminal records for Van den Boggaert beyond association with the network were documented.[^1]
-
-### Connections
-Van den Boggaert connected to the network through Beernaert, who operated the Knokke brothel where Louf was initially prostituted. He worked with Nihoul to supply girls, attending parties where contracts were sealed. Louf claimed Van den Boggaert knew of the 1984 Van Hees murder, present with Dutroux and others. His role linked to [[Michelle Martin]]'s filming at parties, with tapes seized from Dutroux containing similar content. Van den Boggaert's death in 1995, reported as suicide, occurred before Dutroux's arrest, limiting direct links but noted in X-Dossier summaries.[^1]
-
-Louf's testimony connected him to [[Jean-Paul Dumont]] and lawyer circles, with events at castles and factories. The network overlapped with [[Spartacus International]] through shared contacts, though Van den Boggaert's specific ties remained Louf's claims. His family background in Ghent facilitated access to victims, with Louf describing him as a family friend who groomed her from childhood. Post-death, no assets or records seized linked him further, but his role aligned with pimp activities in the X-Dossier's elite network descriptions.[^1]
-
-Van den Boggaert's associations included figures like [[Paul Vanden Boeynants]], at whose parties Louf was supplied. Louf identified him in photos as the man who drove her to events with [[Marleen De Cokere]] and Nihoul. His suicide note or details were not public, but timing aligned with internal pressures in the network, amid investigations into related rings like [[CRIES]].[[^1]]
+Louf said that from about the age of twelve Van den Bogaert acted as her pimp, taking her from Ghent to parties in Brussels attended by [[Jean-Michel Nihoul]], to the [[Le Dolo]] club and to Amsterdam, and that he was present on the night of the 1984 murder of [[Christine Van Hees]].[^3] The prosecutors-general of Antwerp, Ghent and Brussels found on April 23, 1998, that "no proof could be found that Regina Louf could make any contribution whatsoever to these investigations."[^2]

-Christine Van Hees was a teenage girl whose body was discovered on an old mushroom farm in 1984. She was murdered in what became a cold case that was later reopened as part of the [[X-Dossier]] investigation related to the [[Marc Dutroux]] affair. According to the testimony of witness "X1" ([[Regina Louf]]), Christine Van Hees, known as "Chrissie," was tortured and murdered at a factory farm in 1984. The details provided by X1 matched the crime scene with such precision that they could not have been obtained from public sources or newspaper reports.[^1]
+Christine Van Hees was killed in 1984 and partly burned in the disused mushroom farm (champignonnière) at Auderghem, on the outskirts of Brussels. The murder was not solved, and the file stayed with the Brussels investigating judge [[Jean-Claude Van Espen]].[^2][^4] She was fifteen or fourteen.[^5]

-The crime scene revealed horrific details about Christine's final moments. Her body was badly burnt and bound with ligature fixed to the neck running down to the ankles. One wrist had a penetration wound caused by a metal nail-like object. The murder occurred in the basement of a factory on the farm, where the perpetrators set her on fire after torturing her. The brutality of the crime and the specific nature of the wounds suggested a ritualistic element to the murder, consistent with patterns observed in other cases connected to the broader Dutroux network and organized child abuse operations in Belgium during this period.[^1]
+### The X1 Testimony

-The precision of X1's testimony was so remarkable that even critics of her testimony were forced to either acknowledge its accuracy or claim that investigators had fed her the information as part of a conspiracy. This level of detail included specific information about the location, method of torture, and identity of participants that would have been impossible to know without firsthand knowledge or involvement in the crime. The Christine Van Hees case became one of three cold case murders investigated by the X-Dossier team that led to the reopening of her case based on X1's testimony, demonstrating the significance of witness testimony in potentially solving long-unsolved crimes connected to organized abuse networks.[^1]
+In 1996 the witness X1, [[Regina Louf]], told the Neufchâteau investigators of the murder of a girl she knew as "Chrissie." "It was a sort of bondage," she later said, "so her legs and her hands and her throat were connected with the same rope, and so when she moved she strangled herself." She said that [[Jean-Michel Nihoul]] took part in the killing and that [[Marc Dutroux]] watched; Nihoul denied it.[^3] She also named [[Bernard Weinstein]] and the lawyer [[Michel Vander Elst]].[^1] The farm had since been demolished, but she described its wallpaper, sinks, hooks in the ceiling and a network of stairs and adjoining rooms. Rudi Hoskens, one of the officers assigned to re-examine the case, said: "She gave us some details that made us think it's impossible to give without having been there at that place." The son of the farm's former owner said: "I have never met Regina Louf. All I know is that she could not have described the house as well as she did unless she'd been there. It was two houses joined together in a strange way." The Prosecutor General of Liège, Anne Thily, told a reporter in 2002 that Louf was a fantasist who had invented everything.[^3]

-### Suspects and Accused Perpetrators
-
-X1 identified several key figures as having participated in the torture and murder of Christine Van Hees. [[Jean-Michel Nihoul]], a businessman and central figure in the Dutroux network, was named as a primary participant. Marc Dutroux, the convicted serial killer and child molester, was also identified as being involved in the murder. [[Bernard Weinstein]], an associate of Dutroux who worked at a video processing company, was named as another participant. [[Michel Vander Elst]], a lawyer with ties to Nihoul and the video processing company where Weinstein worked, was also accused of involvement in the crime.[^1]
-
-The connection between these individuals and the video processing company where Weinstein worked suggested a possible link to the production and distribution of child abuse material, which was a common thread in many cases connected to the Dutroux network. Vander Elst's position as a lawyer provided legal cover and connections that could help protect the activities of the network from law enforcement scrutiny.[^1]
-
-### Geographic and Social Connections
-
-Investigations revealed that Christine Van Hees had connections to several key locations and individuals that placed her within the orbit of the Dutroux-Nihoul network. She regularly visited locations frequented by Michel Nihoul and Marc Dutroux in early 1984, including swimming every week at a swimming pool located above Radio Activité, where Nihoul was active. She frequently went skating at Poseidon in Woluwe, where Dutroux and his associate Francis H. also skated.[^1]
-
-Christine had a friend who drove an American car with an eagle on the hood, matching Nihoul's vehicle. She regularly skipped school to spend time with Philippe M., who worked at Radio Arc-en-Ciel in Schaarbeek. Philippe M.'s name was found in her personal telephone book, indicating a closer relationship than casual acquaintance. These connections suggested that Christine may have been deliberately targeted or groomed for exploitation by individuals associated with the network, using social connections and trusted relationships to gain access to vulnerable young people.[^1]
+Louf's account led the gendarme Aimé Bille to the old file, and he found that the earlier investigation under Van Espen had "multiple gaps."[^4] Van Hees had swum weekly at a pool above the premises of [[Radio Activité]], where Nihoul was active, and skated at Poseidon in Woluwe, which Dutroux also frequented.[^1]

 ### The Investigating Judge

-The investigation was directed in the 1980s by the Brussels investigating judge [[Jean-Claude Van Espen]], and the reopened file was returned to him at the end of January 1997. The Belgian parliamentary commission of inquiry recorded its astonishment at his "violent reaction" to contacts between its councillor-investigator and the Neufchâteau investigators, and his order of June 22, 1997, suspending all investigative acts by the team; it concluded that he had given "particular, in fact disproportionate, attention" to those contacts.[^2] *The Observer* reported in 2002 that a Belgian journalist had revealed his "close relationship" with Nihoul and his then wife: that as a lawyer he had represented Nihoul's wife, that his sister was godmother of Nihoul's child, and that he had resigned from the case in early 1998.[^3] On April 23, 1998, the prosecutors-general of Antwerp, Ghent and Brussels closed the files opened on Louf's testimony; the murder was never solved.[^4]

 Ferkuniak died of an overdose in 1989 at 39. The following month Horsch bought a house on Airey Avenue in [[New Britain Township, Pennsylvania|New Britain Township]] for 137,500 dollars. He filed for bankruptcy in 1993, listing a barbecue restaurant, Butterworth's Hickory Pit, as a trade name. In 1997 township police charged him with cashing 187.19 dollars in paychecks made out to his dead nephew. Around 1999 he was briefly engaged to a teenage housekeeper. In the 1990s and 2000s he produced a series of pornographic videos with amateur couples and then films of staged violence against women, many of whom he recruited with cash and drugs on the streets of [[Kensington, Philadelphia|Kensington]]. He married [[Amy McHale]] in 2004, and they divorced in 2008.[^1][^10][^11]

-In 2009 a woman at the house called township police to report noises.

+In 2009 a woman at the house called township police to report noises. Officers under Chief [[Robert Scafidi]] found 455 marijuana plants in the basement, firearms including an M1 carbine, 25 pounds of gunpowder, bondage devices, pornography showing women who appeared to be bleeding, and identification cards belonging to several different women. Horsch ran into the surrounding fields and was caught. Scafidi said the district attorney's office took the identification cards for follow-up. "I really don't know what happened after that," he said. On March 20, 2009, on Ontario Street in Kensington, Horsch slowed his green Jeep beside a nine-year-old girl, called to her, got out and approached her; she ran home, and police found him nearby with binoculars, a camera with a telephoto lens, an eye patch and condoms in the Jeep. In 2010 he was convicted in Municipal Court of luring a child into a motor vehicle and corrupting the morals of a minor, and Judge Roger Gordon sentenced him to two and a half to five years, a conviction that would have required registration under Megan's Law. The prosecutor, Jill Fertel, had asked for the maximum after learning what the New Britain police had found. Horsch appealed for a new trial in the Common Pleas Court; the girl and her mother were too afraid to testify again, the charges were dropped, the conviction was vacated, and in 2015 a Common Pleas judge granted his petition to expunge the case. In September 2026 a court clerk refused *The Philadelphia Inquirer* access to the file on the ground that expunged records should have been destroyed. "No one was getting arrested for what Raymond Horsch was doing," Fertel said.[^18] He pleaded guilty to federal drug and weapons counts in January 2011, was sentenced to 53 months, and was released in June 2013. The bank repossessed the [[New Britain, Pennsylvania|New Britain]] house the same year.[^7][^10][^12][^19]

 After Connerotte was removed from the Dutroux case in October 1996 and replaced by Judge Jacques Langlois, the cell came under a Mr. Duterme, who from April 1997 had De Baets's colleagues reread the interviews and report on her credibility and on possible manipulation by De Baets's team; the first report, very negative for De Baets, "totally lacked credibility," and a second was ordered. In the summer of 1997 Langlois ordered a complete rereading of all the related files and removed De Baets and Bille from the investigation. A criminal investigation of the two gendarmes by Judge Pignolet was dropped and a gendarmerie disciplinary inquiry acquitted them completely; they then filed more than eighty complaints alleging that reports in the rereading had been falsified.[^1]

-In January 1998 Louf gave up her anonymity, in part to protest the stalling of the inquiry, amid a press campaign against her fed by leaks from police and judicial circles. On April 23, 1998, the day Dutroux briefly escaped, the prosecutors-general of Antwerp, Ghent and Brussels decided that "no proof could be found that Regina Louf could make any contribution whatsoever to these investigations" and closed the related files. The same day, in a confrontation with Louf, the man described as her "so-called protector" admitted that he had had sex with her when she was twelve, with her parents' knowledge, and had once lent her to others; the admission was not pursued, the acts being time-barred.[^1] The Van Hees case was closed unsolved in 2014 under the statute of limitations.[^3]

His lawyer, [[Jerome Brown]], called the search "much ado about nothing" and said: "We categorically deny that Eugene Horsch is a serial killer."[^2][^10][^11][^12][^15] In September 2026 the trial was postponed at the defense's request to begin no earlier than March 22.[^17]

+The Vietnam War followed the French defeat at [[Dienbienphu]] and the division of [[Vietnam]]. On August 2, 1964, North Vietnamese boats attacked the USS *Maddox* in the Gulf of Tonkin; a second attack reported on August 4 almost certainly did not take place, as an [[NSA]] history declassified in 2005 concluded. The Johnson administration used the reports to obtain the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, the legal basis for the escalation that brought American ground troops in 1965 (see [[Gulf of Tonkin Incident]]).[^1]
+
+### The CIA's War
+
+[[William Colby]], formerly the [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]]'s station chief in Saigon, headed Civil Operations and Revolutionary Development Support (CORDS) from 1968 to 1971, under which the [[Phoenix Program]] sought to identify and "neutralize" the Viet Cong's infrastructure through capture, interrogation and killing.[^2] [[Ted Shackley]] became Saigon station chief in 1968, the year of the Tet Offensive, after running the agency's secret war in Laos, where the Hmong army of General Vang Pao fought the Pathet Lao and the North Vietnamese on the Ho Chi Minh Trail.[^3] [[Air America]], the agency's proprietary airline, flew covert transport across Southeast Asia and was accused of carrying heroin from the [[Golden Triangle]].[^4] [[Richard Secord]] served in air operations in Laos and Vietnam.[^5]
+
+### Behavioral Science
+
+The [[Rand Corporation]]'s Viet Cong Motivation and Morale Study, commissioned by [[Advanced Research Projects Agency|ARPA]] in the mid-1960s, produced about 2,371 interviews, more than 60,000 pages, conducted at some forty sites in South Vietnam, including detention centers; Rand's own history later confirmed that its analyst Leon Gouré had promoted the air war with findings the interviews did not support.[^6] The Army's [[4th Psychological Operations Group]] developed leaflet and loudspeaker equipment; in March 1969 alone 713 million leaflets were dropped over Vietnam, the main channel for the [[Chieu Hoi]] defection program.[^7] In Senate testimony [[Sidney Gottlieb]] said that in those years the military had been "considering the use of [[LSD]] on a fairly large scale."[^8]
+
+### Opposition
+
+[[Martin Luther King Jr.]] set out his opposition to the war in "Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break Silence" at [[Riverside Church]] on April 4, 1967, a year before his assassination.[^9] In April 1968 [[Andreas Baader]] and [[Gudrun Ensslin]] set fire to two Frankfurt department stores in protest against the war; they later founded the [[Red Army Faction]].[^10] The CIA's domestic surveillance of antiwar groups, reported by [[Seymour Hersh]] on December 22, 1974, led to the [[Rockefeller Commission 1975|Rockefeller Commission]] and the [[Church Committee]].[^2]

+### Fort Detrick and Deep Creek Lake
+
+[[Frank Olson]], an Army bacteriologist and [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]] contractor, worked on biological weapons at [[Fort Detrick]] in Frederick. On November 18 and 19, 1953, [[Sidney Gottlieb]] convened a retreat of about ten [[Office of Technical Service|Technical Services Staff]] officers and contractors at a cabin at Deep Creek Lake in western Maryland, where Olson was among those given [[LSD]] without warning; he died in New York nine days later.[^1][^2] The Army gave LSD to soldiers at [[Edgewood Arsenal]] in a parallel program.[^1] Garland Williams of the [[Federal Bureau of Narcotics]] helped establish the [[Office of Strategic Services]] training schools in Maryland and Virginia.[^3] [[Frank Wisner]], who had directed the CIA's Office of Policy Coordination, retired to his farm in Maryland under psychiatric care and shot himself on October 29, 1965.[^11]
+
+### Remote Viewing
+
+The Army's remote-viewing program began at [[Fort Meade]] in 1977 under the name Gondola Wish, and continued as Grill Flame, [[Center Lane]] and [[Sun Streak]] before the [[Stargate Project|Star Gate]] name.[^4] At [[Aberdeen Proving Ground]], [[John Kramar]] was chief of the Ground Warfare Division of the [[Army Materiel Systems Analysis Activity]], which evaluated Grill Flame in 1979, and the Aberdeen physicist [[Evan Harris Walker]] was named principal investigator of a 1978 Army request to fund a remote-viewing machine.[^5][^6] [[Eldon Byrd]] studied the effects of electromagnetic fields on living systems at the Naval Surface Weapons Center at White Oak.[^7]
+
+### Accelerationism and the Zizians
+
+The federal case against members of [[The Base]], 8:20-cr-00033, was brought in the District of Maryland; William Garfield Bilbrough IV of Denton pleaded guilty in December 2020 to conspiring to transport and harbor the Canadian reservist [[Patrik Jordan Mathews]], whom he had driven east from Michigan after August 30, 2019.[^8] In April 2025 the Maryland Coordination and Analysis Center, the state's fusion center, published an advisory describing The Base's founder, [[Rinaldo Nazzaro]], as having "for years garnered suspicions of being a Russian intelligence asset."[^9] On February 16, 2025, [[Jack LaSota]] of [[The Zizians]] was arrested with [[Michelle Zajko]] and Daniel Blank near Frostburg in Allegany County, where they were living in two box trucks, and prosecutors moved to try the group's members together in Maryland.[^10]

+From April 1964 to October 1967 the Soviet defector [[Yuri Nosenko]] was held in solitary confinement in a specially built cell at [[Camp Peary]], "The Farm," the [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]]'s training facility, on the judgment of [[James Jesus Angleton]] that he was a false defector.[^1] From September 1966 to September 1967 [[Manuel Contreras]], later head of Chile's [[DINA]], attended the Army's career officers school at [[Fort Belvoir]].[^2] Lieutenant Colonel [[Jim Channon]] wrote *[[First Earth Battalion|The First Earth Battalion]]* in 1979 as a concept paper of Task Force Delta at the headquarters of the Army's Training and Doctrine Command at Fort Monroe.[^3] [[Alan Standorf]], a civilian analyst at [[Vint Hill Farms Station]] outside Warrenton, "which is run by the army for the [[NSA|National Security Agency]]," died of a blow to the head around January 3, 1991, and was found in the back seat of his car at Washington National Airport on January 28.[^4] In June 1955 [[Nelson Rockefeller]]'s first [[Quantico I and II|Quantico panel]] met at the Marine Corps School in [[Quantico]].[^5]

+[[Marion Pettie]], founder of [[The Finders]], was born in Culpeper in 1920, ran a communal property in the mountains near the town, and died there on October 24, 2003; he said [[Timothy Leary]] sent people down to it in the 1960s.[^6] [[Aldrich Ames]] bought a 540,000-dollar house in Arlington for cash in 1989, on a CIA salary of about 70,000 dollars.[^7] In September 1976 the investigator [[Gaeton Fonzi]] arranged for [[Antonio Veciana]] to meet [[David Atlee Phillips]] at a conference of the Association of Former Intelligence Officers in Reston.[^8] [[Sidney Gottlieb]] kept a goat farm in rural Virginia.[^9] [[Harry Snyder]] of Virginia Tech and Arlene Snyder, as Systemetrics of Blacksburg, wrote the 1979 critical evaluation of remote-viewing research held by the CIA.[^10] The Virginia editor [[James J. Kilpatrick]] was vice chairman of the segregationist [[Coordinating Committee for Fundamental American Freedoms]], which grew out of discussions that included Hugh V. White Jr., formerly of the [[Virginia Commission on Constitutional Government]], and was financed in large part anonymously by [[Wickliffe Draper]].[^11]
+
+### Accelerationism
+
+[[Nicholas Giampa]], seventeen, of Lorton, a follower of [[Atomwaffen Division]], shot his girlfriend's parents in their Reston home on December 22, 2017, and died in custody without trial.[^12] Members of [[The Base]] were arrested on January 16, 2020, four days before the [[Virginia Citizens Defense League]] Lobby Day rally in Richmond, at which they had discussed mass violence.[^13]
