Ep. 144: Gary Heidnik

Happy Re-New Year! That's right, we're starting the year over, and trying again. And it just so happens that we're starting off with a really dark episode: cue all the content warnings. This week, Hannah tells Katy about Gary Heidnik, the serial kidnapper/rapist  who inspired one of Hollywood's most infamous villains. This is a story full of red flags, heroic women, and a subpar police investigation. The girls have their comfort snacks for this one (homemade mac and cheese and chocolate covered pretzels), and we suggest you do the same. Content warnings: sexual assault, suicide/mental health, cannibalism, torture, etc. Sources: https://allthatsinteresting.com/gary-heidnikhttps://www.phillymag.com/news/2007/07/23/inside-the-house-of-heidnik/https://www.truecrimeedition.com/post/gary-heidnikhttps://murderpedia.org/male.H/h1/heidnik-gary.htmhttps://www.oxygen.com/monster-preacher/crime-news/monster-preacher-what-happened-to-gary-heidnikhttps://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-9215799/Victims-monster-preacher-raped-tortured-reveal-escaped.htmlhttps://6abc.com/philadelphia-crime-mass-murder-serial-killer/3429565/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_M._HeidnikSupport the showFollow us @thetaleswetellpodcast on Facebook and Instagram, or thetaleswetellpodcast.comSupport us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/join/thetaleswetellpodcast?Click here for merch!
