The Welcome to Grusam, your horrific true crime podcast. I am Meg and karaoke sensation Connie is about to tell us all about

the Ruer, Cannibal. I first try got that.

So earlier this month when we had our

our Patreon hangout, there was a recommendation for us to do kind of a tour of

Europe of cases and that's what we're gonna do so tonight we're going to start

our first leg of the tour in Germany and hang on guys because this is a brutal one.

You guys were thinking Connie has not been giving us very brutal cases and she's the one that we would think would do it.

So I was like, okay. You guys asked for it.

Okay. Trigger warnings for this case are rape, cannibalism, necrophilia, dismemberment, crimes

against children, murder, strangulation, suicide.

So it's literally an all-around brutal case.

Yeah, man, okay, all right.

Meg might not like you guys after I do this case because it's been requested a couple of times and I was like like I'm already like oh okay I'm ready. I'm not gonna cry. I to cry. Yeah, probably because I did. So tonight we're going to talk about the German serial killer, Joacham Kroll. He was born April 17th, 1933 in the upper Cilessia of Germany.

And actually the area he was born, Zarbja, is now part of Poland.

But it wasn't at the time.

He was the youngest of eight.

Eight. Eight. of eight. The baby I don't want to be. Yeah, no.

He had six sisters and one brother.

And I think it's, this is important, I think this is important.

I think it's important to mention his sisters,

especially due to crimes that are going to happen later on

and we're going to kind of circle back to that at the very end
