A man allegedly served ‘little boy pot pie’, ‘French fried boy’ and other human flesh to unknowing neighbors at barbecues at his home.
Nathaniel Bar-Jonah, a convicted child predator and murderer, held multiple cookouts in 1999 during which he served items including meat pies, burgers, casseroles, chili and spaghetti.
His guests reportedly said the meat had a ‘peculiar taste to it’, to which Bar-Jonah said he was using deer meat, the Daily Star reported.
When Bar-Jonah was arrested the following year, cops found several recipes in his home that included child body parts and with horrifying titles like ‘little boy pot pie’.
Investigators found that Bar-Jonah did not own a rifle or have a hunting license. Additionally, he had not made any big grocery store purchases for about a month after a schoolboy, Zachary Xerxes Ramsay, vanished on his way to school in 1996.
Bar-Jonah, born in Worcester, Massachusetts, in 1957, was seven years old when he started picking at his scabs and sucking the blood. He showed an ‘insatiable appetite’, according to The Sun.
In the 1970s, Bar-Jonah allegedly kidnapped and sexually assaulted a 10-year-old girl. He was accused over the next two decades of posing as a cop to lure kids to his home.
A cookout guest told Bar-Jonah that his meat tasted ‘repulsive’, and he claimed that he ‘hunted, killed, butchered and wrapped the meat’ of the deer on his own. The woman’s child later became one of Bar-Jonah’s victims.
Bar-Jonah was working part-time at a kitchen at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana when Ramsay went missing. Some speculated that he was cooking some of the child’s remains and feeding them to his co-workers to get rid of evidence.
A roommate said Ramsay was not found because he had been ‘chopped up’ and scattered in different locations.
FBI agents recovered notebooks in which Bar-Jonah described torturing children and eating them.
Bar-Jonah was sentenced to 130 years behind bars without parole for kidnapping, aggravated assault and sexual assault of several kids. He died in 2008 in prison.
