Joe Metheny wasn’t just a serial killer—he was a grotesque spectacle of depravity wrapped in a 450lb form. A truck driver with a taste for control, brutality, and apparently human flesh, Joe prowled the underbelly of Baltimore in the 1990s and lured vulnerable women—often sex workers struggling with addiction—into his dilapidated trailer under the guise of drugs and/or shelter. Then, he would r*pe, torture, murder, and dismember their bodies with a disturbing lack of remorse. And then came the horror that made headlines: Joe claimed to grind up his victims’ flesh, mix it with pork and beef, and then serve it as barbecue burgers from a roadside food stand. “No one ever complained,” he later bragged.

Whether that cannibalistic claim was real or just the twisted boast of a man desperate to be feared, the truth was grim enough: six known victims, and a personality that seemed to feed off pain and suffering. Joe Metheny wasn’t just a killer; he was a sadist who wore his monstrosity like a badge, daring the world to flinch.
