Gary Heidnik, a collector of women, in late 1986-1987 he kidnapped women, raped them, and tortured them in the basement torture chamber. Serial Killer Profile s1e2: Gary Heidnik, 2013
‘He incorporated himself as a church, as a self-proclaimed bishop.’ ibid. profiler
‘I dismembered the body and I started burning it on the stove and in the oven, and that’s when you got the big smell.’ ibid. Heidnik
‘It’s just never over.’ ibid. victim
Rivera was Heidnik’s first prisoner. She was later joined by five other young women whom Heidnik plucked from the streets.
Heidnik wasn’t on a mission to kill, Rivera said. The self-proclaimed church bishop and stock-market whiz who had turned about $3,500 into more than $500,000, wanted children. Lots of them.
‘He was trying to get everyone pregnant,’ Rivera said. Heidnik had sex with the women every day, one after the other, on an air mattress in the basement, saving the women he thought weren’t pregnant for last.
Their bathroom was a toilet without plumbing on the basement floor. If they talked back, he beat them with sticks. To make sure they couldn’t hear his comings or goings, Heidnik gouged their ear drums with screwdrivers.
‘I’d watch him do it to other women and see them cry in pain,’ Rivera said.
On every floor, he had music blaring from radios at all hours to muffle the women’s screams.
Rivera made herself a promise: ‘My main focus was to get out of there alive and get the others out alive.’ Philly online article 29th March 2012, ‘25 Years later Heidnik captive recalls the horror’
