“Is marijuana addictive? Yes, in the sense that most of the really pleasant things in life are worth endlessly repeating.”
Charles Sobhraj remains one of the world’s great conmen, and as a serial killer, the story of his life and capture endures as legend. Born in Vietnam to a Vietnamese mother and Indian father, Sobhraj grew up deprived of a sense of identity, moving to France before being imprisoned and stripped of his multiple nationalities. Driven to floating from country to country, continent to continent, he became the consummate con artist, stealing passports, smuggling drugs and guns across Asia, busting out of prisons and robbing wealthy associates. As his situation grew more perilous, he turned to murder, preying on Western tourists dropping out along the 1970s “hippie trail,” leaving dead bodies and gruesome crime scenes in his wake triggering an international manhunt that put him at the to of INTERPOL’s most wanted list.
