He would lure his victims into his “murder mobile” a large work van, and then bound them with zip ties and duct tape and took them to abandoned parking lots where he would keep them for a day and a half to rape and brutalize them for hours and hours. Then he would strangle them and bury their bodies in shallow graves, in a roughly 3⁄4 of an acre swampy, wooded lot behind a strip mall he called his “Garden.” **TW: This episode contains talk of brutality, rape, dismemberment and murder.

Alexander Spesivtsev was a cannibalistic serial killer in Russia known as The Siberian Ripper and the Novokuznetsk Monster.

This horrifying serial killer is believed to have upwards of 80 total victims. **Trigger warning - rape, child murder, and cannibalism**
