Gary Heidnik was a Philadelphia murderer who kidnapped, tortured, and raped six women. Two of the women did not make it out of his basement alive.
 
Heidnik claimed insanity, but in July 1999, he was sentenced to death and executed by lethal injection.

Gary Heidnik was part of the inspiration of the Buffalo Bill character in Thomas Harris's 1988 novel, The Silence of the Lambs, and its 1991 film adaptation.
