In the 1990s, a vicious serial killer ravaged Baltimore by killing homeless people and sex workers and then he horribly transformed some of his victims into hamburgers and sold them to gullible customers as part of a perverse game.
The 62-year-old Joe Metheny was convicted of killing two women, Kimberly Spicer and Cathy Magaziner, in the mid-1990s, but he acknowledged killing at least ten others. According to investigations, Metheny preyed on weak women, raping, brutally beating, and then chopping them up for his own enjoyment.
He would occasionally coat their meat in barbecue sauce and use them to make burgers, which he would then sell to unaware consumers.
The murderer, who was commonly called as being "tiny" despite his enormous size, admitted to being "a very sick person" who found thrills and excitement in his existence as a serial killer after being caught. Police anticipated resistance as they drew closer to the 6'1", 450-pound forestry worker, but were pleasantly surprised by the suspect's cooperation.
According to the Mirror US, Metheny publicly acknowledged using an axe to assault two homeless men, but he was not prosecuted because there was not enough proof.
Soon after killing his victims, Metheny came up with a frightening scheme to sell their flesh, “opened up a little open-pit beef stand," he said.
The text does bizarrely resemble Metheny's gruesome business practices, even though it is not verified that the murderer wrote it. It mentioned that once pork and human flesh are combined, "no one can tell the difference" between them.
Tiny lived in a trailer on the grounds of a pallet manufacturer in south Baltimore and maintained a low profile during the murders.
After capturing Metheny, authorities found Kimberly's remains in December 1996 and were escorted to Cathy's body a few days later. As is sometimes the case with serial killers, Tiny was not charged with all ten of the deaths he claimed to have committed because there was not hard evidence.
The murderer said that the reason behind his bone chilling crimes was trauma, sparked by anger for his girlfriend who had run away from him. His upbringing was tough and saddening as his father was a careless and ignorant addict and he watched his mother work herself really hard to support their family of eight.
According to Metheny’s mother, they lost connection after he joined the army when he was 19 years old in 1973. "He just kept drifting further and further away. I think the worst thing that ever happened to him was drugs. It's a sad, sad story."
He was discovered dead by two correction officers while behind bars in 2017.
