A quiet Milwaukee neighbor became a serial killer, luring vulnerable men with promises of money or companionship, then drugging, strangling, dismembering, and even cannibalizing them. Early police missteps and systemic biases allowed his crimes to continue for over a decade. A botched 1991 police response finally uncovered a gruesome crime scene, leading to his arrest, conviction, and eventual death in prison. The case highlights failures in law‑enforcement, mental‑health intervention, and protection of marginalized communities.
