He grew up with an extremely violent father in Germany; priming him for his eventual killings.

As an adult, he started a killing spree and was found, by police, to be drinking the blood of his victims.

BEWARE! Your child's toy might just try and eat them!
When Cabbage Patch kids first debuted they were flying off the shelves. These popular dolls were seen getting their hair cut, going for a swim, and even eating. To further this success, Mattel created the Snacktime kid. A Cabbage Patch doll that could literally eat with the help of motors inside its mouth.
Everything was great! That is until kids started feeding them their hair and began to be eaten alive. 👉 bit.ly/4ya8TKG
