The Butcher of Kansas City: The Crimes of Robert Berdella | True Crime Horror Case
A naked man crashes through a second-story window wearing nothing but a dog collar… and what police discover inside that Kansas City home becomes one of the most horrifying true crime cases in American history. This Twisted Short unearths the brutal crimes of Robert Berdella, the “Butcher of Kansas City,” a serial killer who hid a torture chamber behind an ordinary white door in the Hyde Park neighborhood.
Inside Berdella’s home, investigators uncovered over 200 Polaroids, torture logs, occult items, surgical tools, human remains, and evidence of at least six murdered men. From kidnapping and torture to dismemberment and disposal, this is the unbelievable true story of a serial predator who operated in plain sight — running Bob’s Bizarre Bazaar, a shop filled with oddities and human bones, while his victims vanished.
This episode dives into:
• The escape that exposed Berdella’s torture dungeon
• The chilling Polaroid collection documenting his crimes
• The bizarre façade of a “normal” neighbor and shop owner
• Connections to occult items, ritual robes, and medical tools
• How Berdella’s victims were targeted, held captive, and murdered
• Why the case still haunts Kansas City decades later
If you’re fascinated by true crime, serial killers, unsolved mysteries, and real stories darker than fiction, this episode will stay with you long after it ends. Follow Tales of the Twisted for more true stories of the strange, weird, bizarre, and eerie.
