In The Kansas City Butcher, author R.M. Cochran delivers a chilling deep dive into the life and crimes of Robert Berdella-an unassuming shopkeeper who became one of the most brutal murderers in U.S. history. From his quiet neighborhood in Missouri, Berdella lured young men into his home where he inflicted unspeakable torture, meticulously recorded every detail, and disposed of their bodies with chilling precision.
