Official Movie Web Site:
Bob Berdella, Kansas City's most notorious serial killer, was most notable for luring young men to his home throughout the 1980s. He drugged them and tortured them, repeatedly experimenting to see how much pain he could cause them and still keep them alive. And when he went too far, his victims died. He cut up their bodies and set them out with the garbage. Finally, one victim jumped out a window and fled the house wearing nothing but a dog collar. With that incident, police broke the case, and Berdella confessed to six killings in a deal that spared him of the death penalty.
The story behind Bob Berdella is quite gruesome yet fascinating. When exactly did he go "bad"? Growing up within 15 minutes from where the serial killer lived I have grown a much fonder interest. Over the course of the past three years I have conducted many interviews and completed extensive research on the man himself. At first sight Bob Berdella appears to be an ordinary man. To all those who knew him, either through work or some other association, say he was a very friendly man, kind, and courteous. He had many jobs and hobbies, Bob Berdella was a very busy man. He ran his own booth at a Flea Market in Westport, the counter-cultural headquarters of KC. His booth was more of a little shop within the flea market. It was called "Bob's Bazaar Bizarre". He had everything from human skulls to an extensive library on witchcraft and occultism.
Bob lived at 4315 Charlotte, the picture above is what the house looked like in 1989.
