10 of the world’s stomach-churning cannibal Serial Killers

During their time together, it was stated by Lucas that Toole would take his victims and cook them as a barbecue, with Lucas later recounting that he “wasn’t a cannibal because he didn’t like the taste of Toole’s BBQ sauce.” The two deranged killers had a combined confession of hundreds of victims. It was said that throughout Toole’s killing spree, he liked to eat the ribs of his victims and drink their blood, something Lucas seemingly disapproved of later. When asked in an interview whether he actually ate people or not, Toole replied, “You look damn tasty. If I had me a knife, I’d slit your throat and drink some blood.”

How does one reach this level of depravity to cause such carnage? Toole and Lucas told much about their murders, yet we’re still left wanting something more concrete as to what drives a person to this level of evil. Toole’s reasons for cannibalizing his victims, though seemingly impossible for the rest of us to follow, seem to simply boil down to nothing more than “because I could,” and he even once said he sometimes ate his victims simply to save money on groceries. That is the very definition of “in cold blood.” Audio recordings of the two madmen discussing their cannibalistic ways over the phone are plentiful and can be found online.
