JOSEPH LAPAGE,

“THE FRENCH MONSTER”

LESS THAN TWO YEARS AFTER FRANKLIN EVANS WAS HANGED FOR THE SEX murder of thirteen-year-old Georgianna Lovering, another shockingly similar crime occurred in New Hampshire. Its perpetrator was a French Canadian woodcutter named Joseph Lapage. Like Evans, Lapage was a classic lust killer—the type of extreme sexual psychopath who attacks with the ferocity of a wild beast, subjecting his victim’s body to unspeakable mutilations. His contemporaries described him in less clinical terms. To them, he was a creature of infernal evil: a “fiend incarnate,” a “demon from the bottomless pit.”
