Patrick covers ‘The Collector’ aka  ‘The Kansas City Butcher’,  Robert Berdella.  In the mid 80’s Berdella collected weird memorabilia from around the world for his flea market shop.  He also collected unwilling men and kept them captive in his house of horrors.  Who was this monster?  How’d he get caught?   And how did the justice system get the last laugh?
