Between 1984 and 1988, it was very dangerous to be a young man living in Kansas City.

AKA:Robert Berdella, or Bob the butcher, Kansas City Butcher, was also fascinated with imparting torture and pain and watching his victims die. The sad part is that he photographed his gruesome tortures and murders.

During the four years of his killing spree, all neighbourhoods, Kansas were put on alert with people forced to live in fear. It wasn’t until April 1988 when a naked man with a dog collar on his neck rushed out of Berdella’s house, shouting for help that authorities managed to uncover the murders.

Here is a look at the shocking facts revealed about Bob’s killing streak.

The torture sessions lasted for a total of four days. Sheldon was subjected to grotesque experiments, such as having his hands bound with piano wire in an attempt to destroy his nerves. Berdella also put caulk in Sheldon’s ears and injected cleaning fluid into Sheldon’s left eye. Mr. Sheldon finally died and was dismembered and thrown into the trash.

Robert Sheldon:
Berdella began his experiments on Robert, using chemicals to weaken his victims, leaving them helpless to his machinations.

He bound Sheldon’s wrists with piano wire in an attempt to permanently damage the nerves there, put drain cleaner in his eyes, and filled his ears with caulk.He also placed needles under Sheldon’s fingernails.

Robert Wallace:
( next victim) The following June, Robert Berdella committed another brutal murder of one of his runaway acquaintances when he found Mark Wallace attempting to sleep in his shed. Berdella drugged Wallace and subjected him to high voltage electrical shocks and stuck hypodermic needles into his back.

James Ferris:
The next month, another of Berdella’s acquaintances contacted him wondering if he could stay at his house, Walter James Ferris. When Ferris arrived at Berdella’s house, he tied him to his bed and tortured him by shocking his genitals with 7,700-volts of electricity for two days until he died from the abuse.

Todd Stoops, a former male prostitute crossed paths with Berdella a year later, who had stayed with Berdella in the past, at a nearby park. Berdella brought Stoops back to his place to grab lunch.

There, Berdella drugged Stoops and kept him trapped in his house for weeks. He attempted to turn Stoops into a submissive sex slave, trying to incapacitate him through electrical shocks to the eyes, and by injecting drain cleaner into his larynx in an unsuccessful effort to render him mute, while repeatedly raping and sexually assaulting him.
Stoops eventually died of blood loss after his anal cavity was ruptured by Berdella’s fist.

In 1987, Berdella continued this attempt with 20-year-old, an acquaintance he made while working at his shop.

“The Kansas City Butcher” decided to kill him after Pearson jokingly referred to his practice of robbing gay men in Wichita.

He drugged Pearson and continued his torture practices aimed at incapacitating his victims, binding, electric shocking, and injecting drain cleaner into his larynx. He also broke one of Pearson’s hands with a metal bar.

After six weeks of rape and torture, Pearson finally snapped and bit deeply into Berdella’s penis during an act of forced fellatio. He was then finished off.

On March 29, 1988, Berdella abducted his last victim, a 22-year-old male prostitute named Christopher Bryson who he had solicited for sex.
Once he arrived at Berdella’s house, he knocked the prostitute unconscious with a metal bar and tied him up. Bryson was subjected to the same torture and abuse methods as Berdella’s previous victims.

But Bryson knew how to gain Berdella’s trust, eventually persuading Berdella to tie his hands in front of him, rather than to the bed. Then, when Berdella accidentally left a box of matches in the room, Bryson grabbed them and burned through his ropes, leading to his dramatic escape through the window.

What a sick puppy. Hope his heart attack was painful.

i hope he died painfully, alone in his cell. still too good for him

[charlie4]

I wish he had been tortured in exactly the same way his victims were. Still too good for him as he probably would have enjoyed it!

He frequented a bar that friends of mine liked. Very dark neighborhood. Creepy. I'm guessing that with the penchant of going home with whomever paid him attention my friend would possibly have been one of the victims.
