About this listen

In 2001, a quiet man from Germany’s countryside carried out one of the most disturbing crimes in modern history. Armin Meiwes, later known as the “Rotenburg Cannibal,” lured a willing volunteer into his half-timbered home and recorded everything that followed. In this episode, we trace Meiwes’ lonely childhood, his descent into online cannibal forums, the chilling pact he made with Bernd Jürgen Brandes, and the trial that forced German courts to confront a crime without precedent.
