    EP171: Cannibal Poet
    Feb 25 2026
    Please SUBSCRIBE to Psychopedia wherever you are listening! He fancied himself a poet, but in reality, was a murderous cannibal. José Luis Calva Zepeda, dubbed the Cannibal Poet, murdered at least one woman in 2007 - his girlfriend, Alejandra Galeana - and dismembered her body inside his home. When police entered his Mexico City apartment, they discovered body parts stored in plastic bags and human meat simmering on the stove. Further investigation linked him to additional murders of even more women, marked by extreme violence and post-mortem dismemberment. The horror of the Cannibal Poet lies not just in the cannibalism, but in the psychology: a man who romanticized himself as a tortured intellectual while reducing women to consumable objects...literally.

On November 25, 1996, Richard and Ruth Wendorf were bludgeoned to death in their own home by a 16-year-old boy named Rod Ferrell, who believed he was a 500-year-old vampire. Rod was the self-appointed leader of a so-called "vampire clan" in Murray, Kentucky, a loosely organized group of socially isolated teenagers bound by shared fantasy and ritualized blood drinking. To the outside world, it looked like teenage rebellion with fangs; but strip away the mythology and costumes, and what remained was far more disturbing than any supernatural story. This was a group of malleable kids desperate for acceptance, drawn into the orbit of a deeply damaged boy who understood exactly how to exploit their need to belong. In the end, this isn’t a story about vampires - it’s a story about what happens when young people searching for family find a cult instead...and when shared delusion hardens into shared violence.

On Friday, April 13, 2012, 22-year-old Brittany Killgore lost her life in a sex dungeon. She disappeared three days after filing for divorce from her husband, Lance Corporal Cory Killgore, who was deployed in Afghanistan, and was ultimately discovered days later near a lake in Riverside County, California. The autopsy revealed neck injuries consistent with strangulation, and marks on Brittany's wrists and legs suggesting attempted dismemberment with a saw. But the physical evidence was only the beginning of what investigators would uncover, as the trail led to a home with a fully equipped sex dungeon in the basement. Three individuals, people Brittany considered friends, who were all involved in a sadomasochist sex relationship with each other, decided to torture, assault, and ultimately kill Brittany for their twisted satisfaction.
