Berdella ran a booth in the Westport Flea Market in Kansas City where he sold earrings that sported human teeth and skulls in it. All his neighbours thought he was a strange but harmless fellow. That is, until April 2, 1988, when a man jumped from the second floor window of Berdella's house wearing nothing but a dog collar. That definitely caught the neighbours' attention. A subsequent police search found two dead bodies inside the house. Apparently Berdella liked to pick
up drifters and male prostitutes, take them home and strap them into his custom-made torture bed. There he would experiment with electroshock and injected all kinds of household cleaners into their veins. He kept a detailed log of how his victims responded and had a collection of two hundred pictures of naked men in different stages of suffering. Berdella liked to extend the life of his victims for a few days before tying a plastic bag over their heads. On December 19, 1988, Berdella pleaded guilty to murder and was sentenced to life. A few years later he died in prison of poisoning or a possible heart attack. While in prison Berdella complained about having too many roaches in his cell. A local radio station decided to start "Bugs for Berdella," a collection of bugs from all over that was sent to him.
