Who is Gilberto Valle and what are his dark fantasies?
So this guy really, really wants to eat people. Now, the guy's name is Gilberto. And Gilberto is 28 when the story starts, and he's living in Queens, New York. And Gilberto, he's doing all right for himself. He works as a police officer. He just got married, and he has a little baby. But despite that, he's got a problem. He's got some pretty dark fantasies, fantasies about kidnapping and murdering and even eating women. But they're just fantasies. And because these thoughts are creepy as hell, he keeps all of this to himself. No reason to tell anyone. 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. And Michael thinks this woman is fine.
Good enough to eat, I guess you could say. So Gilberto then offers to kidnap his wife's friend and sell her to Michael. And I guess Michael's like, all right. So they start negotiating on the price and eventually they settle at $5,000. Now, luckily, Gilberto does not end up kidnapping his wife's friend. I'll explain why he didn't do it in a bit. But he does start falling into a pattern of offering up women to his creepy online friends. In one chat, Gilberto talks about cutting up a woman's feet and barbecuing them and making her watch while she's still alive. Ew. Another time, he tells an online friend about one of his former classmates from college and how she'd be an easy target because she lives alone now.
How did Gilberto Valle connect with others who share his fantasies?
And he talks about exactly how he'd attack her and that he'd wait until it's dark and then he'd break into her house and knock her unconscious and abduct her and then he would murder her and cook her in olive oil.
He then creates a document on his computer that he names abducting and cooking Kimberly a blueprint because that's the potential victim's name is Kimberly. And in the document, he writes down everything he can find about Kimberly, her ethnicity, her height, her weight, even her bra size. He also writes a list of things that he would need to kidnap her. Chloroform, a strong rope to tie her up, plastic bags to protect the car trunk from any DNA. So he's putting a lot of thought into this. And once he finishes writing all of this, he emails the whole thing to his online friend. And I guess the friend is like, Sweet! It's perfect! These people are f***ing weird. Oh, but it actually gets even worse. One time, he's texting with one of his online friends from Pakistan, and he sends the friend a picture of his wife, Kathleen, in a bikini, and they start talking about how he should bring her on a trip to India, and that there they can meet up, and then they can both end up smashing with her, and then they can both murder her and eat her for dinner.
