But one day in 2012, all that changes.
Because he gets on the internet and he starts visiting forums and chat rooms for people who have similar fantasies as him.
And there, Gilberto starts connecting with people and he finally feels at home.
Like there are other people who have these crazy thoughts like he does.
And so he makes friends and he starts talking to these other users about eating people and whatnot and how wonderful that would be.
Specifically though, he will describe horrible things that he would like to do to his own wife.
Now, his wife is this woman, Kathleen.
And Kathleen and Gilberto, they've been married for a while, and she has no idea that he's into all this weird stuff.
So Gilberto will describe all of the horrible things that he would like to do to Kathleen to his online friends, and his online friends seem to love it.
And this, in turn, encourages Gilberto to come up with more and more disturbing fantasy scenarios and describe them to his online friends.
And over time, he starts writing scenarios about other people in his life.
Like he'll write scenarios about his coworkers and his friends and his neighbors.
He'll create detailed descriptive scenarios of how he would kidnap them and murder them.
And then I guess eat them for dinner or whatever.
And then he'll discuss these scenarios with his online friends.
And this is apparently a lot of fun for him and all of the rest of them.
But then they start crossing a line.
Because at some point during all this, Gilberto meets this guy online, Michael.
And Michael, he's apparently really into this whole eating people thing too.
So Gilberto sends Michael a photo of his wife's friend.
