    1. >Inside the wings of Korydallos Prison, Peter Sentom at some point met the prison psychologist, Olga Atsamoglou — a 45-year-old mother of two who was, at the time, separated from her former husband. Sentom began visiting her office more and more often, and rumors were already circulating in the prison about a fateful love affair. Reports spoke of a passionate love on Olga Atsamoglou’s part for the notorious life-sentenced criminal, something evident from her efforts to help him and keep him close to her.

      >At some point, a decision was made to transfer Peter Sentom to Corfu, and she began thinking about how she could get him brought back to Korydallos. She therefore advised him to claim psychological problems to the director of Corfu Prison and to make sure this was reflected in his behavior. Peter Sentom submitted a request for the psychologist to visit him in Corfu, since she was the one familiar with his history, but that request was denied. In a new request, he asked to be transferred back to Korydallos himself so that he could be examined by the psychologist — and indeed, this finally happened at Easter 2002.

      >The couple reunited, and during their daily meetings in the 45-year-old’s office, they planned together the long-desired escape of Sentom.

      >On Monday, May 27, 2002, from the moment Olga Atsamoglou arrived at the prison for her shift, she was asking the guards whether anyone had asked for her or if a doctor colleague of hers had come by. The truth was, she wasn’t expecting anyone. Around 3 p.m., she called Sentom into her office. There, she gave him the clothes she had brought for him so he could disguise himself as a doctor, as they had arranged. Peter Sentom put on a light-colored suit, a brown tie, polished black shoes, a brown wig, glasses, a shoulder bag, and held a folder and a fake ID in his hands.

      >As they passed through the checkpoints on their way out of the prison, Olga Atsamoglou introduced him as her colleague, a doctor with whom she would be collaborating on a rehabilitation program. He showed the fake ID and managed to get through every checkpoint without raising suspicion. They walked out of the prison undisturbed, got into the psychologist’s car, and disappeared.

      >Peter Sentom’s absence was noticed during the prisoner count that evening, while in the locked office of the psychologist, Olga Atsamoglou, his prison clothes were found. Later, the getaway car was discovered on Petrou Ralli Street. The couple had fled abroad. The guards were immediately dismissed, and an investigation began, but the efforts were fruitless — they were never found.

      >A year after their escape, the psychologist sent a letter to her two children, and in it there were clear indications of a romantic relationship with the serial killer. Many, however, believed that the content of the letter had been dictated to the psychologist by Peter Sentom and that she had been forced to write it under duress. In one part of the letter, Olga Atsamoglou mentioned that soon the end would come — an end that would justify her choices.

      >The true story of the serial killer Peter Sentom
      In 2006, Olga Atsamoglou was found dead in a hotel room in Colombia, but the circumstances of her death were never made known to the Greek police. It was said that she had been staying at the hotel with a man who disappeared and was never questioned by the local authorities. Many believe that man was, of course, Sentom. Ultimately, he met the same fate as his former lover and accomplice two years later.

      >On January 11, 2008, the body of an unidentified man was found in a hotel room on Margarita Island, Venezuela. Through procedures involving the Greek, American, and Venezuelan authorities, his fingerprints were examined and it was confirmed that he was the fugitive life-sentenced prisoner Peter Sentom. The circumstances of his death also remained unclear, although there was talk of a drug overdose.

    2. You’d think a psychologist of all people with +2 kids would be enough if a debuff to a serial killer.

      Searched and found his last name is spelled or misspelled all over the place. It could be Centom or Centome or Cedom Oh brother

      I just don’t understand why women do this. Sounds like she needed some serious psychological help herself. He was serving time for killing his lovers? Among other people?
