Extra big parental warning on today's episode.

Almost every episode of Time Suck is wildly inappropriate,

but this one, a little extra disturbing.

This one's up there with the toy box killer, Albert Fish, Joseph Duncan, Bob Bredella,

Cicatillo, and a few others, as far as being one of the most upsetting topics we've ever covered,

fascinating as hell, but extremely graphic content lies ahead.

Between the years of 1955 and 1976,

Yakim Kroll, raped, murdered, and also ate many of his victims.

All but one of his victims were women, most of them young girls living around

Diesberg, Germany, relatively unknown outside of Germany,

the Diesberg man-eater, aka the Rhoerhunter, aka the Rhoer Cannibal,

was an intensely disturbing and deranged serial killer who terrorized his victims

by committing some of the most heinous crimes known to man.

Kroll killed at least 14 people and potentially killed,

raped, and ate more than twice that amount during his two-decade long spree.

He also destroyed additional lives and other ways by having a string of unfortunate men

take the fall for his crimes.

Did he pull all this off because he was some kind of criminal mastermind?

Uh, no, not even close.

He's the most intellectually challenged killer we've ever covered,

but don't let that make you feel sorry for this monster.

His crimes don't leave any room for sympathy.
