Tonight, we step inside the minds of killers who crossed the final line—turning murder into a meal. These aren’t movie plots or campfire stories. They are real crimes that shocked the world.

Kevin Bacon, a 25-year-old hairstylist from Michigan, trusted someone he met on a dating app and vanished on Christmas Day 2019. What police found in the basement of Mark Latunski’s home was horrifying.

In California, rapper Antron “Big Lurch” Singleton’s drug-fueled psychosis led to one of the most disturbing crimes in hip-hop history. And in Paris, Issei Sagawa’s 1981 murder exposed a chilling mix of obsession and fantasy that still fascinates and horrifies the public today.

These cases prove that sometimes, the darkest monsters aren’t from horror movies—they’re real people driven by madness and desire.
