Episode 40: ISSEI SAGAWA Scholar, Necrophile, Cannibal, Porn star

Renee Hartevelt was a beautiful 22-year-old college student studying French poetry when fellow student Issei Sagawa shot her in the back of the head, assaulted and mutilated her corpse, and ate large parts of her.

Though quickly apprehended, Issei would never go to trial, in fact he would become a celebrated author, painter and porn star, exploiting his crimes and turning them into a profitable cottage industry.

Today, ladies and gentlemen, we bring you the terrifying, disgusting, and truly bizarre tale of Issei Sagawa, the Kobe Cannibal. Scholar, necrophile, cannibal, pornstar.

His story is both disturbing and deeply fascinating, a journey from sickly, introverted child indulging in the worst fantasies, to Shakespearean scholar, to murderer and cannibal, to celebrity.

Buckle up, we’ll bring you all the gut-wrenching details, exploring Japanese folklore and the psychology of vorarephilia along the way. Keep your hands and feet in the ride, it’s a doozy!
