The "pork" that flew off the shelves in Münsterberg was the biggest lie ever told. Karl Denke was a beloved pillar of his community—a pious churchgoer who carried the cross at funerals and gave charity to the poor. But behind his kind "Papa" persona, he was a monster who murdered dozens of homeless men and women and pickled their flesh to sell to unsuspecting neighbors.
In this episode, we uncover the horrifying story of Karl Denke, the "Cannibal of Münsterberg," who killed at least 31 victims between 1903 and 1924, possibly as many as 42 or more. The details are almost beyond belief: he bludgeoned or strangled vagrants he lured into his home with promises of food or shelter, dismembered their bodies, and sold the "boneless pickled pork" at the local market. His gruesome trove of evidence included over 300 human teeth, jars of pickled flesh, and a ledger documenting his victims' names and "slaughter weights." It was only when a victim escaped with an axe wound to his head that Denke's reign of terror finally came to light.
