Gary Heidnik - The "Real-Life Buffalo Bill"
50 min
Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong explores the disturbing case of Gary Heidnik, one of the real-life killers who inspired the character of Buffalo Bill in The Silence of the Lambs. In the winter of 1986, women began disappearing from North Philadelphia. Nearly four months later, authorities would learn that they were trapped in the basement of a row house with barred windows and crucifixes in the glass, owned by a self-appointed bishop. That bishop would make the women's lives a living hell -- and in the end, two of them would not make it out alive. Candice examines how a childhood of humiliation, a lifetime of psychiatric hospitalizations, and a hunger for control over the people around him shaped a man who could carefully craft his criminal endeavors while simultaneously struggling with debilitating mental illness.
