Summary

We got another double header! This time its a coupl'a cannibals! *Incase you didn't catch the word "Cannibals" being used over and over again...this one is explicit, to say the least. :) For our appetizer, we head back to July 2008, when Vince Li gruesomely murdered a fellow Canadian bus passenger named Tim McLean. Li didn’t stop at murder, he stabbed, beheaded, and even ate parts of McLean’s body. The police eventually arrested him after an hours-long standoff. But WHYYYY!!!???? Who was Vince Li? Why did he kill Tim McLean? And why did he eat him!? Then for the main course, we talk one of the most infamous cannibals to date, Issei Sagawa. A Japanese man claiming to have always had a fascination with human flesh. At the age of 35 he finally acts on it, killing a dutch woman that he had befriended, just so could eat her! Oh and he never did any jail time. He lived a long life and died of old age. It was a paperwork error or something...you know how these things go... 0_0    Check out our other shows!: Cryptic Soup w/ Thena & Kylee Strange & Unexplained True Crime Guys YouTube EVERYTHING TRUE CRIME GUYS:   https://linktr.ee/Truecrimeguysproductions True Crime Guys Music: True Crime Guys Music on Spotify OhMyGaia.com Code: Crimepine Patreon.com/truecrimeguys Patreon.com/sandupodcast Merch: truecrimeguys.threadless.com   Sources: https://allthatsinteresting.com/issei-sagawa https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Issei_Sagawa https://murderpedia.org/male.S/s/sagawa-issei.htm https://allthatsinteresting.com/vince-li
