Serial killer Gary Heidnik's name will live in infamy, and his address on North Marshall street in Philadelphia will always be tainted with memories of depravity and death. What police found in Heidnik's home was an incredible nightmare made real. Four young women had been held captive-some for months-half-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, and empty pot suspiciously scorched. Cellar of Horror is the shocking true account of a self-proclaimed minister, with a long history of mental illness, whose bizarre plan to create his own "baby factory" preyed on the susceptible and the retarded. It is a macabre web spun around the twin aspects of money and religion, tangled with courtroom drama and lawyers tactics, sure to send a chill to the centre of your soul.… (more)

I've read this book twice. Last night I finished it for the second time. It is such a weird crazy story that when I was reading Slave Girls by Wensley Clarkson and he had a chapter omitted to this story I had to go downstairs and find this book again.

How he set those women against each other. He made Rivera kill the other girl but thanks to her they were also saved.
Have to see if Gary heidnik is still alive. ( )

This book was a lot more about the trial and the lawyers arguing he was whether he was insane or mentally ill, than the actual crime. The killer was put to death in 1999. The last person to be electrocuted in Pennsylvania. ( )
