The interesting 'bits' to this story...the cannibal was a computer engineer type who had an extremely high income, and enjoyed his lifestyle. The dimwit victim...actually talked to the cannabal at the train station...went to the house...talked there some more...felt uncomfortable...went back to the train station with the cannibal...and then suddenly changed his mind there (he was home free...but was too stupid to realize it). The cannibal apparently recorded the whole episode...and the court case is uphill because the victim went along with the entire episode...so murder just isn't a tag you can pin on this episode. And finally....the cannibal has hinted...that there are up to 800 of his buddies in Germany. The cops have investigated this comment and aren't making a comment. They are probably pretty shocked and really don't want to start a cannibal hunt...but if you look at the 200-300 people who come up missing each year in Germany...there might be a couple of active cannibals out there in the shadows. All the more reason to carry a weapon....but the authorities really don't want that to happen.

In Australia, recently, there was a serial killing case involving a group of men who preyed on others. Cannabilism was involved, as well as torture. (It the South Australian "bodies in the bank" case.) They operated for years, undetected. And one wonders - are there others?
