Every Friday, join us for a quick dive into the intriguing world of true crime with our 'Did You Know' short fact episodes. In this weeks' episode we explore the Rotenburg Cannibal.

In the serene countryside of Rotenburg, Germany, a quaint village nestled among verdant fields and rolling hills, an unimaginable horror unfolded—a tale so macabre that it sent shockwaves through the world and left an indelible mark on the annals of true crime history. At the heart of this chilling story was Armin Meiwes, a seemingly ordinary man whose insatiable appetite for human flesh would lead him down a path of darkness and depravity.

It began innocently enough, with Meiwes' exploration of online forums dedicated to extreme fetishes and taboo desires. It was here that he encountered Bernd Brandes, a man who shared Meiwes' dark proclivities and who would ultimately become his willing victim.
