Wolfgang Schmidt: The Pink Giant

If you looked up the word strange in the dictionary, you would probably see a picture of Wolfgang Schmidt. Out of retaliation for a strained relationship with his mother, a 7 year old Wolfgang went into her dresser and put on her bra and panties, then he would urinate and defecate in the underwear on purpose, as this apparently gave him sexual pleasure. He routinely did this until his mom noticed his thieving ways. She shamed him and locked her dresser drawers, but Wolfgang would then steal women’s clothes from landfills and dumpsters for the sole purpose of soiling them for sexual arousal. Even more alarming, Wolfgang eventually became a policeman as an adult, but he was fired after celebrating Hitler’s birthday. He often drifted from job to job, drunkenly roaming the streets in women’s clothing. But soon, Wolfgang’s obsession with women’s underwear evolved, as simply taking from clotheslines or landfills wasn’t enough to satisfy him, so he decided to take his unusual behaviors a step further, and 6 people, including a 3 month old baby fell victim to a man the German media dubbed “The Pink Giant”.
