Do you recall the “Cannibal Cop” that was busted for supposedly conspiring to take hostage, bake and devour a group of women whose info he obtained through his official faculty as a New York police officer? The FBI has detained an alleged client of Gilberto Valle, saying Michael Vanhise wanted to pay him $5,000 for deliverance of a kidnapped prey whom he could rape and kill.
Vanhise, a 23-year-old from Trenton, New Jersey, was arrested today at his house.
Vanhise purportedly sent sms to Valle (busted by his wife)and haggled over the cost of delivery for a drugged prey, which supposedly would be brought to Vanhise, hurdled, gagged and distended in a baggage from New York City. Vanhise is identified as “CC-2” in the chat. Vanhise also had sick plans to kidnap a child.
Vanhise as well e-mailed photographs of a female kid, whom Vanhise knew well, to other co-conspirators (“CC-2” and “CC-3”). CC-2 and CC-3 both articulated significance in kidnapping the child, and Vanhise provided them with the alleged address of the girl, which was in close nearness to the girl’s actual home address.
Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara made this statement:
As alleged in the complaint, Michael Vanhise engaged in conduct that reads like a script for a bad horror film, but fortunately, neither he nor his co-conspirators were able to act out the twisted conspiracies described in the complaint in real-life. His arrest today is the second in this bone-chilling case, but we are not finished.
Vanhise is charged with plan to commend kidnapping, carrying a punishment of life in jail. He was programmed to come into view in court today in Manhattan.
Thanks God nothing happened, but could you believe this is very probable to occur? We trust authorities such as the police, and knowing the danger came come from their end, leaves us unprotected. As parents or care takers of children, we can’t feel but anxious about this situation.
