00:15Echoes call from hollow halls, a voice that creeps and softly crawls, time stands still
00:24in the air.
00:26Are you prepared to be terrified?
00:29The line up of videos we have for you today, isn't just some of the most disturbing cases
00:33you'll ever come across.
00:35These are videos that gave the most experienced federal agents sleepless nights.
00:39They are bizarre, troubling, and terrifying.
00:43From the man who created dolls with actual humans, to the one who abducted and tortured
00:48people so he could become his favorite character from a book.
00:50These are the most disturbing videos that terrified the FBI.
00:56Robert Dennis Blair Adams was a 31-year-old Canadian man who worked as a construction foreman
01:01in Surrey, British Columbia.
01:03Adam worked with his stepfather in Germany for a period of time.
01:07Things didn't go as smoothly as he would have hoped, but he managed to make it work until
01:11he couldn't.
01:12People said he was aggressive, with a tendency to be paranoid from time to time.
01:16Adams hoped that a change in scenery and a return home would help alleviate his feelings.
01:22So, he traveled back to Canada in 1996 and looked for a job after cooling off for a while.
01:29After resuming at his new workplace, his boss and co-workers noted that he behaved well.
01:35His friends and relatives also said he looked like himself again.
01:38He was finally on an excellent patch, but something happened.
01:42On the 5th of July, 1996, Adams went to the bank and withdrew most of the money in his
01:48bank account.
01:49He didn't stop there.
01:50He also collected all the gold and platinum bars, jewelry and extra cash from his safe deposit.
01:56Adams then went to the ferry terminal in Victoria, British Columbia.
02:00He wanted to travel by sea to Seattle, Washington.
02:03However, immigration officials noted that he was anxious.
02:06He had a large amount of cash that made them think he was entering the United States to
02:11deal in illegal substances.
02:13His history also showed that he had been convicted of drug and assault charges.
02:18So, he was denied entry into the U.S.
02:21This did not discourage him.
02:23He continued trying to enter the U.S.
02:25On July 9th, Adams was seen at the Pacific Highway border crossing.
02:30Officers of the Canadian Border Patrol caught him trying to cross the border on foot.
02:34They noted that he had several scratches on his hands and legs.
02:38He was arrested because his description matched that of a man wanted for theft near the border.
02:43However, they subsequently released him after realizing that they had the wrong person.
02:48That same day, Adams approached the Vancouver International Airport and rented a Nissan Ultima.
02:54He drove the car into the U.S. and went to the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport,
02:59where he bought a round-trip ticket to Frankfurt, Germany.
03:02He asked for a refund shortly after, and his German girlfriend later revealed that she had
03:07not expected him to visit.
03:09Adams bought a one-way ticket to Washington.
03:11When he arrived at Dulles Airport, he rented a vehicle and drove to East Knox County, Tennessee.
03:17On the way, he backed the car into a vehicle on U.S.
03:20Route 250 in Virginia.
03:22The owner of the vehicle later told police that Adams seemed nice, but was in a hurry.
03:27Adams was seen at a gas station around 5.30 p.m.
03:30Adams was complaining that he couldn't enter his vehicle because the key did not work.
03:34So, the clerk helped him call an engineer.
03:38When the Interstate Repair Service driver arrived, he noted that Adams was trying to open the
03:43Toyota car with the keys of the Nissan Altima he had parked in Seattle.
03:47The repairman, Gerald Sapp, noted that he informed Adams and told him to check his pockets for the right keys.
03:53But he refused and insisted he already had the right one.
03:56Sapp gave up when Adams would in bulge.
03:59So, he helped him arrange for a towing vehicle and dropped Adams at an inn in Knoxville.
04:06Two women later told investigators that they saw Adams speaking with a man in the area.
04:12The CCTV cameras captured Adams as he arrived inside the inn.
04:16He continued to act strangely, loitering at the hotel lobby for 40 minutes.
04:21He eventually bought a room, but he walked out before the hotel clerk could give him his change.
04:26He never stepped inside the room he paid for.
04:28On the morning of July 11, 1996, construction workers who were resuming work around 7.30 a.m.
04:37Found Adams' lifeless body at a hotel that was under construction.
04:41He was half naked with his shirt open and pants off.
04:45The pants, socks and shoes were on the floor.
04:48The sum of $4,000 in German, Canadian and U.S. currencies was scattered around his body.
04:54Police also found a small bag containing his jewelry, gold bars, platinum coins and the key to the Toyota car.
05:02An autopsy report confirmed that Adams died from sepsis due to a large cut on his stomach.
05:08His head had a wound that appeared to have been caused by a crowbar or club.
05:12He also had multiple cuts with speculations that they were defensive wounds.
05:16Police believed that Adams' death may have been sex-related because of the conditions in which his body was found.
05:22Police found a long strand of hair in his hand.
05:25They also released the model of the man who was seen with him, but none of the evidence led to
05:30any arrest.
05:31People close to Adams said he had been acting strangely in the days leading up to the trip to the
05:36U.S.
05:36He told his mother that people were spreading rumors about him and trying to kill him,
05:41but refused to say anything about the person or people.
05:44Adams' case remains a mystery and it continues to terrify investigators.
05:50Before we continue, I just want to say thank you.

06:21Let's grow this together.
06:23Now, back to the video.
06:27On October 8, 2009, surveillance cameras on the Jamison family property caught Bobby Jamison,
06:33his wife, Sherilyn, and their daughter, Madison, leaving their house to the car parked outside their home.
06:40But this was no ordinary walk.
06:42They made the same trip several times, picking up items from the house and putting them inside the vehicle.
06:47At first, it looked like a family preparing to go on vacation or move away from their home in Eufaula,
06:54Oklahoma.
06:55The problem was that they didn't seem to be themselves.
06:58Despite moving between the house and the car several times, they never interacted with each other.
07:04They just moved continuously to and fro like someone in a trance.
07:08One of the items they placed inside the vehicle was a brown briefcase that Sherilyn had put in the vehicle.
07:13Before that day, they had been saving up for the purchase of a 40-acre plot of land near Red
07:19Oak.
07:19A while after they finished packing and started their journey to an unknown location, the entire family disappeared.
07:26They never made it to Red Oak, which was 30 miles from Eufaula, and were never seen alive again after
07:31that.
07:32When the search for the family kicked off, police were quick to determine that the family did not disappear because
07:38they wanted to.
07:39However, this theory needs more evidence.
07:42Some days after they left the house, investigators found their abandoned pickup truck parked in Oklahoma's Latimer County.
07:49None of the family members were found with the truck.
07:51However, their dog, Maisie, was in the vehicle.
07:55He was malnourished, signifying that he had been left alone inside the vehicle for some days.
08:01Things got weirder when the police officers found other items in the car.
08:05The family's ID cards, mobile phones, wallets, and a GPS system were still inside the car.
08:12They also found 32,000 US dollars in cash, even though those who were closest to them said they weren't
08:18known for moving around with such large amounts of cash.
08:21The brown briefcase that Sherlin was seen moving, was never recovered.
08:26Sherlin's handgun, was also missing from the car.
08:29The search intensified, with officers combing through nearby areas, but the Jamisons were not found.
08:36Investigation surrounding the case stalled as a result.
08:39As the case gained popularity, many people came up with several theories for the disappearance.
08:44Some people suggested they were in witness protection, while others said they might have disappeared willingly for various reasons, or
08:51killed themselves.
08:52They pointed to the missing gun, but this theory would include finding the firearm beside their bodies, unless somebody else
08:59was involved.
09:00Many also believed that they were killed, possibly by the person who took off with the brown briefcase.
09:05Suspects included Bobby Jameson's father, who was involved in a lawsuit with his son.
09:10Bobby alleged that his father had threatened him, and even attempted to carry out those threats when he hit him
09:16with a vehicle in November.
09:17In 2008, Bobby believed that his father was involved in criminal activities, including dealing in illegal substances.
09:26The police investigated the father, but found no evidence of wrongdoing.
09:30The case did not move forward until November 2013, four years after the incident.
09:36Two hunters, were walking in a wooded area, in Latimer County, when they came across a strange sight.
09:43Three miles from the location where the Jamesons parked their truck, were the remains of a child, and two adults.
09:50Many people believed that the remains belonged to the Jamesons, but due to the level of decomposition, determining their identities
09:57wasn't straightforward.
09:59The Oklahoma Medical Examiner tested the bodies using anthropological and forensic pathological methods.
10:05On July 3rd, 2014, it was confirmed that the bodies belonged to the three members of the Jameson family.
10:12The cause of death could not be determined.
10:14More theories started making rounds after the discovery.
10:17Some thought that the Jamesons were involved in illegal activities, citing the large amount of cash found in their vehicle,
10:23as a pointer.
10:24They also suggested that their strange trance-like movement, prior to their journey, suggested they may have ingested illegal substances
10:31that made them act weird.
10:32Another major theory, is that their disappearance and death, were spiritual.
10:37According to their local pastor, the Jamesons had been complaining of encounters with spirits inside their house.
10:43Bobby was also said to be reading the Satanic Bible, which may have been related to whatever they claimed to
10:49have seen.
10:50The case continues to baffle investigators.
10:52It has been featured on several shows, and the theories continue to mount without any headway.
11:00Ariel Castro
11:01On July 10, 1960, Ariel Castro was born in Duoyaco, Puerto Rico.
11:08After his parents' divorce, he moved to the United States with his mother, and three siblings.
11:14However, his troubles started way before then.
11:17Starting at the age of five, Castro was the subject of a series of physical, sexual and verbal abuse from
11:22a male neighbor, uncle and mother.
11:24Castro met his girlfriend, Grimilda Figueroa, in the 1980s, but their relationship marked the start of the most disturbing chapter
11:33of his life.
11:34It began with Castro physically harming Figueroa, shortly after moving to their apartment, in 1992.
11:41While living at 207 Seymour Avenue in Cleveland's Tremont neighborhood, Castro broke her nose, arms and ribs.
11:49He also broke her skull and was arrested for domestic violence.
11:54Castro got off without an indictment, but the violence continued.
11:58Figueroa moved out with their children in 1996.
12:02Unfortunately, it was too late.
12:03She died from the complications of the assault she suffered from Castro some years later.
12:08Castro continued to live in their house, and it was where he started committing his horrifying crimes.
12:14His first victim was a woman known as Michelle Knight.
12:17Michelle was battling with the state to regain custody of her son, Joey.
12:22On August 23, 2002, she was supposed to appear in court for the case.
12:27She left her cousin's house and informed her family that she was going to court.
12:31Strangely, Michelle didn't appear in court, and nobody saw her after that for many years.
12:37She was reported missing to the authorities, but they refused to dedicate resources to her search.
12:43She was removed from the National Crime Information Center database.
12:47Just 15 months after her last reported sighting, officers assumed she moved away due to the heartbreak
12:53of losing custody of her son.
12:55Hence, her case didn't receive the attention it needed.
12:57On April 21, 2003, 16-year-old Amanda Berry went missing a day before her 17th birthday.
13:04Amanda called her sister around 8pm to inform her she would be returning home at the end of her shift,
13:10at Burger King.
13:11She was also considered a runaway.
13:13However, a week later, her mother received a phone call from someone claiming to be with her,
13:18and stating that she'd be back in a few days.
13:20Days passed, but Amanda never returned.
13:24A TV show, linked Amanda to another missing woman named Georgina de Jesus.
13:28Georgina de Jesus was last seen on her way back from school, walking with Castro's daughter, Arlene.
13:35Arlene had borrowed Gina's transport fare.
13:37She used it to call her mother to ask if she could sleep over at Gina's house.
13:41The two friends went their separate ways when Arlene's mother refused the idea.
13:45Castro, who had been watching the girls, approached Gina and offered to drive her home in his bus.
13:51Instead, he drove to his house, where he had been keeping Amanda and Michelle.
13:56He lured Michelle to the house, after promising to give her a puppy for her son.
14:01Amanda also trusted Castro and got into his bus, because she had known him from her work at the
14:06local Burger King.
14:07All three people trusted him, but Castro betrayed their trust.
14:11He drove them home, overpowered them, and tied them to his basement.
14:17There, he carried out all kinds of horror on the women.
14:19Castro joined search parties to look for Gina.
14:22He attended some of the vigils held for his victims, and tried to get closer to their families.
14:27Meanwhile, in his basement, Castro tied the women up for days without food.
14:32He assaulted them emotionally, physically, and sexually.
14:36Michelle got pregnant five times, but Castro terminated each one with severe beatings.
14:41On December 25, 2006, Castro told Michelle to act as a nurse, while Amanda gave birth to his daughter.
14:49He threatened to harm her, if the baby didn't make it.
14:52He occasionally took the little girl out, referring to her as his granddaughter, or daughter.
14:57He replaced his windows to block out sunlight from his captives, and locked out sections of the
15:02house to his son.
15:03Whenever he visited, his neighbors had suspicions.
15:06They claimed to inform the police, who said they had no such records.
15:11When the police came to investigate Castro regarding another issue,
15:14he did not answer the door, and an interview was conducted at a later time elsewhere.
15:19A small opportunity finally opened on May 6, 2013.
15:23Two of the victims had spent over a decade in captivity, while Gina had been there for nine years.
15:30Castro forgot to lock one of the doors.
15:32Amanda saw Angel Cordero, one of Castro's neighbors, walking by.
15:37Another neighbor, Charles Ramsey, joined them, and they kicked a hole in the front door.
15:42Amanda and her daughter escaped through the hole and called 911 from the neighbor's house.
15:49Do you need police, fire, or ambulance?
15:51I need police.
15:52Okay, and what's going on there?
15:54I've been kidnapped, and I've been missing for 10 years, and I'm here, I'm free now.
15:59Okay, stay there with those neighbors, call the police, and they get there.
16:03Okay, and Amanda Berry, I've been on the news for the last 10 years.
16:10Police officers arrived shortly after to save the other two women from the house.
16:14They went in search of Castro and arrested him in a McDonald's parking lot.
16:18He was charged with kidnapping and rape, among other crimes, totaling up to 320.
16:24The counts were brought up to 97 after further investigation.
16:27He pleaded guilty to 9037 charges.
16:30He was also sentenced to consecutive life terms, with an additional 1,000 years,
16:36with no possibility of parole.
16:38His properties were sealed, and the house at Seymour Avenue was demolished in August 2013.
16:44A year into his sentence, he was found hanging by his bedsheet with his pants down.
16:49He left a note, quoting Bible passages and professing love for his kids and grandkids.
16:55Abby Choi was a Hong Kong model, influencer, and internet personality born on July 15, 1991.
17:03Choi had a fairly typical upbringing.
17:05Her parents divorced while she was still a girl, and her mother remarried a man with
17:10whom she built a mining and construction business in China.
17:14Choi quickly keyed into the social media lifestyle in its early days, and was able to gather a small
17:19following as an influencer.
17:21As her following grew over the years, Choi leveraged her increasing popularity to advance
17:26her modeling career, regularly featuring at Paris Fashion Week, and landing roles with prominent
17:31publications such as Vogue, Elle, and Harper's Bazaar.
17:36By 2023, Choi had garnered over 100,000 Instagram followers, and featured on the cover of the
17:43fashion and luxury lifestyle magazine, L'Officiel Monaco.
17:47The same magazine named her a fashion icon, praising her knack for trendsetting, and ability
17:52to mix and match different pieces. She gave back to society through philanthropy,
17:57including co-founding an organization that helped stray animals.
18:01Choi looked destined for great things. However, her most significant philanthropic endeavor was also
18:07the one that would change the course of her story. At the age of 18, Choi married Alex Kwong.
18:13Their relationship lasted for three years, and they had two children before their divorce in 2021.
18:18Choi got together with another man, Chris Tam Fong Chun, the son of a wealthy restaurant owner.
18:24The two did not legalize their companionship, but they had a wedding ceremony in 2016,
18:30and had two children together. Choi maintained a relationship with her former partner.
18:34She continued to take care of the entire family, which included her former husband Alex Kwong,
18:40her former father-in-law Kwong Kao, her former mother-in-law Jenny Lee, and her former brother-in-law
18:46Anthony
18:46Kwong, who also continued to serve as Choi's driver. After the divorce from Kwong,
18:52Choi bought a luxury apartment for the family and registered it in Kwong Kao's name. The apartment,
18:57valued at $8.5 million, is situated in Kadari Hill, one of Hong Kong's most prestigious locations,
19:05which is home to some of the city's wealthiest individuals. Not only did she hire Anthony Kwong as
19:10her personal chauffeur, but she also gave him money several times and funded businesses for him.
19:16Despite Choi's efforts to ensure they lived well, the Kwong family wanted more. They continued to
19:22demand more benefits from Choi, until she realized they were taking advantage of her generosity.
19:28Unknown to Choi, the family was in considerable debt. Alex Kwong was a fugitive wanted for carrying
19:34out a multi-million dollar investment scam, while his father, Kwong Kao, was a retired police officer.
19:41He was once arrested for despicable crimes against a woman. The mother was bankrupt. Everything took
19:46a much darker turn, when Choi informed the family that they would have to move to a smaller house
19:52because she planned to sell the big one they were living in. The entire family refused immediately,
19:57with Kao even going so far as to threaten Choi. Unfortunately, it was a threat he planned to see to
20:03fruition with the support of the rest of his disgraced family. On February 21, 2023, Abby Choi
20:09disappeared and failed to pick up her daughter from school. Reports that the model and socialite was
20:15missing went far and wide within a short while, and police quickly began looking for clues. The last
20:20time she was captured on surveillance camera was in front of her car. She was seen getting into the
20:25vehicle driven by Anthony Kwong. Investigators followed the GPS information in the car, and it led them
20:31to a village house in Tai Po. Three days after she went missing, police found the headless corpse of the
20:3728-year-old. The house had a refrigerator where some of her body parts were stored. Two days later,
20:43they also discovered her head and ribs in a pot of cooked soup. Police also found an electric saw and
20:49a
20:49meat slicer at the house. The police arrested the driver, Anthony Kwong, and his parents in connection
20:55with the case. Choi's ex-husband was already on the run. It took a city-wide manhunt before Alex Kwong
21:01was arrested trying to flee the city with large amounts of cash and expensive watches. Also arrested
21:07was Ng Si Wing, Kwong Kao's mistress, a yacht rental company employee Lam Shun, for helping Alex when he
21:14was on the run, as well as Irene Punho Yin, a friend of Alex. It is believed that Kwong Kao
21:21masterminded the entire ploy as a follow-up to his threats against Choi. Anthony drove her to the
21:26village house, where her life was taken, with her remains scattered across several locations. Alex,
21:33Anthony and Kao faced murder charges, while Alex's mother was charged with preventing justice.
21:38The Kwong family paid Choi's kindness with pure wickedness. They were too greedy and felt entitled
21:44to money that did not belong to them. Unfortunately, the fashion icon's fast rise to the top was stopped
21:50abruptly. The Kwong family is awaiting trial, but Alex Kwong had been sentenced to three and a half years
21:56in prison for other charges of theft and jumping bail. Anitoli Moskvin was a Russian man who took his
22:05fascination with death to a completely insane level, but he was not a madman. It all started when Moskvin
22:11was still a schoolboy, growing up in the city of Gorky, now Nizhny Novgorod, in Soviet Russia. He was
22:18fond of playing around cemeteries with his friends. One day, a funeral ceremony was ongoing for an
22:24eleven-year-old girl when Moskvin rolled by. Moskvin said adults at the funeral procession grabbed and
22:30forced his head against the girl. An adult pushed my face down to the waxy forehead of the girl in
22:36an
22:36embroidered cap, and there was nothing I could do but kiss her as ordered. This experience changed
22:42something in him. He used to walk past graveyards for fun, but now he has developed a strange interest
22:48in the motionless bodies within them. Moskvin was an excellent individual. He excelled in his studies
22:54and graduated from the philological faculty of Moscow State University with good grades. Soon after,
23:01he began contributing to academic discussions and gained recognition in academia with a particular
23:07interest in Celtic history, folklore, languages, and linguistics. Moskvin also maintained his interests
23:14in cemeteries and death, extending his tentacles towards burial rituals and the occult. His personal
23:20library had more than 60,000 books on those subjects. He kept doll collections and lived as a loner.
23:27Moskvin wasn't interested in dating, marriage, drinking, or alcohol. He lived with his parents and
23:34continued to study throughout his days. To other academics, Moskvin was as eccentric as he was
23:40genius. He secured a position at the Institute of Foreign Languages and served as a lecturer of
23:45Celtic Studies at Nizhny Novgorod Linguistic University. He is also a polyglot with expertise
23:51in 13 languages. But Moskvin preferred to call himself a necropolist and would go on to write about
23:57local cemeteries in local newspapers and other journals. In 2005, a newspaper publisher hired
24:04Moskvin for a task he was more than happy to accept. He was going to compile a list and summary
24:11of the
24:11dead in over 700 cemeteries located in the 40 regions of Nizhny Novgorod Oblast. Over the course
24:18of two years, he visited 750 cemeteries on foot, sometimes walking over 18 miles a day and drinking
24:26from puddles. He spent wherever he found, including haystacks and abandoned farms. After a while,
24:33the line between reality and his work began to blur. He decided he could no longer search for farms
24:39and started spending nights at the cemeteries, sometimes in a coffin prepared for a funeral.
24:45When police suspected him of theft and vandalism, he was let off easily by flashing his academic
24:50credentials and the studies he was pursuing. His research was later described as unique and priceless,
24:56but Moskvin had other ideas. Beneath the papers published and the studies carried out was a
25:02strange obsession and disturbing acts hidden in broad daylight. By 2009, it was impossible to ignore
25:08the large number of grave sites that were desecrated. Police investigations would not lead anywhere,
25:13but one man continued to appear at the scenes. More investigations took place in 2011, after a terror
25:20attack. Again, Moskvin was at the site. He attempted to cover up his actions as he had always done.
25:27He acted as if he were looking at the gravestones and told them he was conducting research. But detectives
25:32discovered he was doing something else. Moskvin was arrested for vandalizing the graveyards.
25:38They obtained a warrant to search his house, expecting to find propaganda materials. Instead,
25:43investigators found completely shocking items that shook the entire nation. His living quarters had 29
25:50life-sized dolls. The figures were dressed in different human clothing. However, these weren't dolls.
25:57They were actual human remains dressed to resemble dolls, created with the dead corpses of girls aged 3
26:03to 12 years old. They were strewn to make them look human. Their eye sockets had buttons to mimic
26:08the human eye. When investigators moved them, the dolls made sounds because Moskvin had placed sound
26:15making mechanisms inside them. A god stranger, Moskvin researched the corpses. He kept records of their
26:22birthdays and celebrated with them on the day. Moskvin said he managed to make them look like humans by
26:27wrapping body parts in clothes and putting them inside nylons. He said he watched cartoons with the dolls.
26:33He even said that he loved most of them. The ones he didn't love were placed outside.
26:38His parents noticed his actions, but didn't know how he was vandalizing graveyards for the materials
26:44he used. As for the foul odor around their house, they believed it was a result of a break in
26:49the sewage
26:50system. One of the corpses had been with Moskvin for nine years. The police also found other materials
26:56stolen from graveyards, leading to suspicions that he desecrated up to 150 graves. He kept maps for
27:03locating cemeteries, doll making instructions, and photographs and videos of graves and bodies.
27:10Psychiatric evaluation revealed that Moskvin suffered from paranoid schizophrenia. On May 25,
27:162012, Moskvin was deemed unfit to stand trial. He was ordered to remain in a hospital where he'd receive
27:22treatment. In 1965, 16-year-old Robert Bradella saw the film adaptation of The Collector, the popular
27:32novel by John Fowles. The film's plot follows a man who is drawn to a young woman. He went on
27:38to kidnap
27:39the woman, locking her in his basement, until she died. Bradella was fascinated by the movie,
27:44and it set in motion his lifelong mission to succeed where the disturbed movie character had failed.
27:50But he added another string to the bow, one that would later earn him the nickname Kansas City Butcher.
27:56Robert Bradella was born in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. On January 31, 1949, his early life was that of a
28:03devout Roman Catholic, attending Mass with his younger brother, mother, and father. While he was
28:09intelligent, his speech challenges and sight issues meant he found it hard to make friends. He preferred
28:15to stay alone indoors, and therefore lacked the athleticism of other kids, including his brother.
28:21This did not sit well with his father, who loved athletics and favored Bradella's brother. It is
28:27reported that his father abused him physically and emotionally. He grew up as a rude and aggressive
28:32young man. As a teen, he found out he was homosexual. After his father's death, Bradella painted and
28:38started collecting artifacts. He eventually opened an antique business in 1982. But within him was a
28:45deeply disturbing obsession. He operated a booth called Bob's Bazaar, Bazaar at the Westport Flea Market,
28:51where he traded in jewelry, antiques, and art. Some of them were stolen. One of the booths closer to
28:58Berdella's was owned by a man named Paul Howell. Paul had a young son named Jerry. Berdella remained
29:04good friends with the family even after they moved farther from him. In 1984, Berdella offered to
29:10transport Jerry Howell to a dancing contest, but it was a ploy to abduct the young man. 19-year-old
29:16Jerry
29:17Howell became Berdella's first victim on July 5, 1984. He repeatedly gave Howell alcohol and various
29:25illicit substances. When Howell became unconscious, Berdella injected him with tranquilizers before
29:31tying him to his bed. While bound, Berdella harmed, tortured, and abused the young man.
29:37This went on for 28 hours until he passed away. Afterwards, he drained his blood and dissected his
29:44body before placing the remains in his trash can for the garbage collectors. Less than a year later,
29:50Berdella got his second victim. 20-year-old Robert Sheldon offered to pay Berdella for a short stay at
29:57his house. Berdella insisted that Sheldon was a good tenant who paid his rent promptly. He also said he
30:03wasn't attracted to Sheldon and had no issue with him. However, he considered the man an easy target
30:09that he could punish for the sins of others. Berdella bound Sheldon in the second-floor bedroom.
30:14He made it out different forms of torture on the man. A workman was scheduled to perform some work
30:20on his roof. So, he suffocated Sheldon to prevent him from alerting the workman. After his death,
30:27he dismembered the corpse. A man named Mark Wallace had helped Berdella with some work on his yard.
30:33When Wallace hid from the thunderstorm inside Berdella's tool shed, he invited him inside and
30:39convinced him to take chlorpromazine, assuring that it would help calm his nerves. Berdella continued
30:44to explore different torture methods, using electrical shocks and hypodermic needles on
30:50Wallace. Between 1984 and 1988, he invited more people to his house and ended up abducting,
30:57torturing and killing them. They include James Ferris, whom he tranquilized with a meal, Todd Stoops,
31:03whom he held for two weeks, and Larry Wayne Pearson, whom he referred to as the most cooperative of his
31:09victims. On March 29, 1988, Chris Bryson, a 22-year-old male prostitute, was at the Greyhound
31:17bus station in Kansas City, Missouri. Berdella lured him to his house with the promise of payment
31:22for his services. He knocked him unconscious, bound him and subjected the man to various abuse and
31:28torture methods. Berdella told his captive,
31:31you did not choose to be here, but you are. For you to survive being here, and for you to,
31:38you know, make it, it could either be rough or it could be easy. If I grow to like you,
31:43and to trust
31:44you, then I could do special things for you, such as buy you cigarettes, pick up a movie on the
31:50way home
31:51from work, and so forth. Don't try to fight me, or you'll just get more of what you had earlier.
31:57You see, what you got is nothing compared to what you can have.
32:00On the third day, Berdella revealed that he had started to trust Bryson. So, he tied his hands in
32:07front of him, rather than to the bed. The next day, while Berdella was at work, Bryson escaped after
32:13setting the restraints on fire. He jumped from the second floor window, and ran to a meter reader,
32:18wearing only a dog collar. Officers with the Kansas City Police Department questioned Bryson and
32:24arrested Berdella that afternoon. While searching his home, they found various binding and torture
32:30materials. They also found a human skull, a decomposing head of one of his victims in the
32:35backyard. Teeth in envelopes, sawed human vertebrae, tools with blood, flesh, and hair. Berdella kept
32:43Polaroid pictures of his victims. He also had a detailed record of how and when he tortured victims.
32:50He was convicted of first and second degree murder, and was sentenced to life imprisonment,
32:55without the possibility of parole. He died from a heart attack.
