(True Crime!) Cellar of Horror: The Story of Gary Heidnik by Ken Englade (PB/GFC)

Serial killer Gary Heidnik's name will live on in infamy, and his home, 3520 North Marshall Street in Philadelphia, is a house tainted with the memory of unbelievable horrors. What police found there was an incredible nightmare made real. Young women had been held captive-naked and chained. They had been tortured, starved, and repeatedly raped. But more grotesque discoveries lay in the kitchen: HUMAN LIMBS FROZEN, a TORSO BURNED TO CINDERS, an EMPTY POT suspiciously scorched...

This is not a story for the faint-hearted. Cellar of Horror is a shocking true account of the self-proclaimed minister with a long history of mental illness, who preyed upon the susceptible and the retarded in a bizarre plan to create his own "baby factory."

In late 1986 and early 1987, Heidnik abducted six women and forced them to live in unimaginable conditions in his basement in North Philadelphia. The women were beaten, tortured, and raped in the dungeon-like structure. Unfortunately, two of the six women, Sarah Lindsey and Deborah Dudley, never made it out of Gary Heidnik’s house alive. Sarah Lindsey was the first to die in that basement, succumbing to a combination of starvation and torture. To hide her corpse, Heidnik DISMEMBERED her body and COOKED HER RIBS in the oven and BOILED HER HEAD on the stovetop. Police came knocking at Heidnik’s door because of the foul odors, but he was able to convince them he had simply burned a roast. Dudley was killed in Heidnik’s torture dungeon when he forced her into a WATER-FILLED PIT and then ELECTROCUTED her with a LIVE WIRE! He dumped Dudley’s body in New Jersey.

Heidnik’s horrific crimes and inscrutable sociopathic nature served as inspiration for Buffalo Bill, the serial killer in The Silence of the Lambs.
