Welcome to True Crime Horror Story’s own Hell’s Kitchen. I’m your chef, JD Horror and today we have something really special for you on the menu. As you’ve probably guessed, we are still on the theme of cannibalism. During the last episode we explored all the different forms of cannibalism, but in today’s show there will be no confusion about whether these eaters of fellow men were doing it out of a survival instinct or whether a mental illness drove them into a feeding frenzy.

Case #1: The Appetizer - David Harker was a drunken transient who murdered an acquaintance, dismembering her corpse to prepare a pasta more disgusting than anything Chef Boyardee could ever dream of. (D. Harker, Darlington, UK)

Case #2: The Main Course - The Genessee River Killer Arthur Shawcross was one of the most prolific serial killers in New York history. However, it wasn't his kill count that led to his infamy so much as the vile nature of what he did to the bodies after they were already dead. (A. Shawcross, Rochester, NY, USA)

Case #3: The Dessert - "The Cannibal Cop" Gil Valle wore the mask of a husband, father, an officer of the law by day... but at night his sick fantasies led him to the darkest corners of the internet, where with the help of other twisted individuals he would formulate a plan he called The Blueprint. (G. Valle, Queens, NY, USA)
