The Monster Who Inspired the Silence of the Lambs
For four months, he shackled, tortured and raped six women in the basement of his Philadelphia home.

Lisa

On the 22nd December, Gary Heidnik went Christmas shopping for another woman to kidnap. 19-year-old Lisa Thomas was walking to a friend’s home when Heidnik stopped his white Cadillac alongside her. He thought she was a sex worker and tried to pick her up, but Lisa wasn’t working the streets and furious with Heidnik’s suggestion. Instead, he apologised and offered her a ride to wherever she was going, and she accepted. He was driving a fancy car, after all.

Lisa’s visit to her friend’s house was short, so Heidnik waited for her and when she got back in the car, he took her to dinner. While the pair were eating, he asked her to go to Atlantic City with him the next day. Confused by his hasty suggestion, she told him she didn’t have anything to wear, so he took her to Sears.

When they arrived back at his house, he drugged Lisa’s glass of wine and sat her in front of the television to watch a film. When she awoke, she was naked and being dragged to his bedroom where he raped her.

As he did with Josefina, Heidnik grabbed Lisa’s throat as she got dressed and began to strangle her. He handcuffed her and hauled her down to the basement and threw her in the pit with Josefina and Sandy.
