Case 205: Bernd Brandes (Patreon)

On March 9 2001, 43-year-old Bernd Brandes disappeared from his home in Berlin, Germany.  The well respected and highly intelligent computer engineer’s absence was extremely out of character for those who knew him but investigations into his whereabouts proved unsuccessful.  It wasn’t until eighteen months later, when a curious medical student began searching online forums and contacted authorities that investigators uncovered what happened to Bernd Brandes.  The tale that emerged was one almost too unbelievable to be true.  It involved a historical manor house, a torture room, cannibalism and a German man named Armin Meiwes.
