Back at State Police Headquarters, Hansen denied any involvement in
the murders. After a brief game of cat and mouse, he grew tired of
the allegations and requested an attorney. Hansen was then placed
under arrest and charged with assault, kidnapping, weapons offenses,
theft and insurance fraud. On November 3, 1983, an Anchorage grand
jury returned four indictments against Hansen: first-degree assault and
kidnapping, five counts of misconduct in possession of a |
While in Kentucky, Harvey spent much of his time
at Marymount Hospital, and was soon well known and liked by the nuns
who worked there. During one particular conversation, one of the nuns
asked Harvey if he would be interested in working there as an orderly.
Since he was currently unemployed and didnt want another factory job,
Harvey agreed and started work the next day. Although he was not a
trained nurse or doctor, Harvey's duties required him to spend hours

As police dug into Dean Corll's reputation and past, early
returns suggested that the 33-year-old man was the victim not the
monster that Henley made him out to be. This sentiment was summed up in

In mid-1984 Constanzo moved to Mexico City full-time, seeking
what his mother referred to as "new horizons." He shared quarters with
Quintana and Orea, in a strange ménage à trois, collecting other
followers as his "magic" reputation spread throughout the city. It was
said that Constanzo could read the future, and he also offered
limpias—ritual "cleansings"—for those who felt enemies had cursed them.
Of course, it all cost money, and Constanzo's journals, recovered after
his death, |
Schweiger didn't get up the next day. Ackermann claims he
assumed the man was sleeping off a hangover—a frequent occurrence. That
night, he checked in on him, and saw him sprawled in the same position
in which he'd left him. Ackermann, ever the aspiring physician, checked
for a pulse and heartbeat. Schweiger was dead. Ackermann reacted to
this discovery not with remorse or panic, but with eager delight:
Finally he could satisfy his curiosity about the inner workings of the

Evidence taken during psychological interviews with cannibals
supports to a degree the contention that aggression towards the mother
may be one possible factor in a person's cannibalism, such as with the
case of Ed Kemper. However, it is unclear whether that aggression
directly leads to cannibalism. Furthermore, there is little evidence
available which can confirm this theory in its entirety and such
evidence, if it existed, would be difficult to obtain. Even if there is
