Albert Fish - American serial killer, rapist, child molester, and cannibal who committed at least three child murders from July 1924 to June 1928.
The most insane wikipedia article I know. Many paragraphs describe events that seem like the worst thing that could happen, but then the next paragraph is somehow worse.

It really took a handwritten confession of murder and cannibalism for the cops to find him. They held an innocent guy for over 100 days even though the parents of his last victim sent their daughter with him to "his niece's birthday party" and never saw her again? Seems pretty obvious that he was the one who took her lol
We take modern investigation and forensic processes and techniques for granted. I listen to a lot of true crime podcasts and the amount of shit people could get away with 70+ years ago was insane.
But even without all that, they know they sent her away with a guy and she never came back. Isn't it reasonable to assume he had something to do with that
This guy was a real jerk!
Peanut butt butter! That's how they do it in Hollywood!
Timesuck did a good episode on this maniac
That guy loved eating butts.
A man ahead of his time
I need to erase this from my memory banks. What the actual duck.
Here's a couple songs from the perspective of the father of one of the victims (Grace Budd):
Amigo the Devil - Drop for Every Hour
Amigo the Devil - Better Ways to Fry a Fish
