Episode 128: Gary Heidnik the Bishop Butcher of Marshall Street

Gary Heidnik, the inspiration behind Buffalo Bill in The Silence of the Lambs, was many things. The bishop of his own church. A savvy financial investor with a genius level IQ. A cannibal and cult leader trying to create his own perfect race of humans, as well as a murderer and serial rapist and registered nurse.

Strap in and prepare for a rough ride, listener discretion advised.
