Betty Disto
In 1984, he bought 3520 North Marshall Street, the house that would become infamous later on in his story. From here, he ran his church and advertised its beliefs to residents and the parish began to grow.
Heidnik met his wife, 22-year-old Betty Disto, a Filipino native through a newspaper advert he posted. Betty arrived in Philadelphia in 1985 and the couple married a month later in Elkton, Maryland, but the relationship began to quickly decline. Betty often found Heidnik having sex with multiple women, which he would make her take part in. He was charged with spousal rape and physical assault of Betty during their short marriage.
Betty Disto escaped from Heidnik’s grasp a few months later, with help from the Filipino community in Philadelphia. Betty gave birth to a child in September 1986, safely away from Heidnik. She named the boy Jesse John Disto.
