My Take
Robert Berdella is one of those cases that genuinely unsettles you the more you look into it — a former art student running a Kansas City antique shop called Bob's Bazaar Bizarre, seemingly unremarkable to his neighbors, while committing some of the most methodical and prolonged acts of violence in American criminal history. Between 1984 and 1987, he abducted and tortured at least six young men, keeping detailed logs of what he did to them — that clinical recordkeeping is somehow the most chilling part of the whole story. He only came to light in 1988 when a victim escaped. Berdella died in prison of a heart attack in 1992, so he never served the full weight of what he earned. The Kansas City Strangler, as he was sometimes called, is a grim reminder of how ordinary a monster can look from the outside.
