- Synopsis
- GARY HEIDNIK: A NAME THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY 3520 North Marshall Street in Philadelphia is a house tainted with the stench of burning flesh. What police found there was an incredible nightmare made real. Four young women had been held captive--some for four months--half-naked and chained. They had been tortured, starved, and repeatedly raped. But more grotesque discoveries lay in the kitchen: human limbs frozen, a torso burned to cinders, an empty pot suspiciously scorched... This is not a story for the faint-hearted. It is a shocking true account of the self-proclaimed minister with a long history of mental illness, whose bizarre plan to create his own "baby factory" preyed upon the susceptible and the retarded. It is a macabre web spun around the twin specters of money and religion, tangled with courtroom drama and lawyers' tactics, sure to send a chill into your very soul.
