Excerpt from The A to Z Encyclopedia of Serial Killers

The Serial Killers ode to horrific madman Gary Heidnik is indeed a rarity, a sick little ditty that you can't help to laugh at even though you know it's wrong.

If you had missed the horrific story of Gary Heidnik I'll sum it up for ya.

Gary Heidnik was a self appointed bishop of his own church. One night a woman escaped from his basement in Philadelphia and alerted the authorities to what was going down at the "House of Horrors." The police discovered three naked, beaten woman shackled to different areas of Heidnik's basement. The police would discover the woman had been starved, raped and beaten mercilessly. They also discovered that two other woman had been murdered in the basement by Heidnik. One was thrown into a dug out hole which was filled with water. Heidnik electrocuted her in the murky pit. Another woman he had left hanging from shackles for over a week had also expired. Heidnik then hacked up her body, mixed it with dog food, then served it to the other woman in his captivity.

Upon further inspection police discovered human remains in his oven as well as his refrigerator and freezer. In court Heidnik offered a hilarious defense. He claimed the woman were already in the basement when he moved into the house!

The Serial Killer's properly sum up his story in about two minutes with such observations as:

"Cruising through the city in a Cadillac/Some poor ho tied up in the back."
