Bob Berdella
Bob Berdella was a serial killer out of Kansas City. Although he never became as famous as Jeffrey Dahmer or John Wayne Gacy, his murders remain some of the most gruesome in the United States. Berdella was apprehended in the spring of 1988 after a victim he had been torturing for a week jumped naked from the second story of Berdella's house and escaped. Police investigation made the case against Berdella quite simple, because he had detailed torture logs and large amounts of polaroid pictures he would take of his victims. Berdella buried his victims in his backyard.
Berdella died of a heart attack in 1992 after writing letters to a minister claiming the prison officials were not giving him his heart medication. Bob Berdella's death was never investigated.
