NYPD Officer Accused of Plotting to Kill and Eat Women

A New York police officer was arrested Wednesday in Queens by the
Federal Bureau of Investigation after he discussed cooking and eating
female body parts, according to a criminal complaint.
The evidence against the officer, a six-year veteran of the New York
Police Department, consists of e-mails and instant messages in which he
was “discussing plans to kidnap, rape, torture, kill, cook and eat body
parts of a number of women,” according to the complaint against the
officer, Gilberto Valle.
The complaint suggests that Officer Valle, who worked in the 26th
Precinct in Manhattan and lives in Forest Hills, Queens, never followed
through on any of the acts he is accused of discussing. He was charged
with federal kidnapping conspiracy, and is expected to appear in Federal
District Court in Manhattan on Thursday afternoon. Officer Valle, who
is married, joined the force in July 2006.
In one message to a co-conspirator, Officer Valle wrote that he was
contemplating cooking a person “over a low heat, keep her alive as long
as possible,” according to the complaint. [NYT]
I wonder if he'll take a page from the "Rape Cop" playbook and argue that
it wasn't official misconduct because he didn't benefit from scheming to dispatch and devour members of the public.
