New York is known for its colorful characters from all walks of life. However, Gilberto Valle was too much for the city and all of America. The sheer horror of Gilberto’s cannibal, misogynist fantasies landed him in jail in October 2012. His case soon became a trademark and highly contested one for lawyers all across America.

Gilberto joined the New York Police Department in 2006 as an eager young man. He saw his future in the force, but he would mess it up forever in a few years due to his twisted fantasies. He married Kathleen Cooke Mangan in 2010, and they had a lovely daughter two years later.

However, everything was to change on October 25, 2012. Kathleen accidentally came upon Gilberto’s search history, and the label “Dark Fetish Net” intrigued her. She wanted to know what kind of fantasies her husband had. She was up for a rude, horrifying awakening.
