Who is the Killer?: The Milwaukee Cannibal's Last Victim

Tracy Edwards

On July 22, 1991, 32-year-old Tracy Edwards was standing outside a bar with two of his friends, when a man approached them.
They talked for a while before the man invited them up to his apartment to drink some beer and watch the movie "the Exorcist."

Only Tracy agreed to go.

Once inside Tracy noted a foul odor and several boxes of hydrochloric acid on the floor, which the man claimed to use for cleaning bricks.

As the two sat watching the movie, the man laid his head child-like on Tracy’s chest and chanted softy with the movie.

The man asked Tracy to turn his head and view his tropical fish, whereupon the man placed a handcuff upon his wrist.

The man then grabbed a huge butcher knife and began wielding it at Tracy, forcing him backwards into the bedroom.

There was a blue 57-gallon drum in the corner, from which a strong odor emanated.

Tracy could see countless photographs of mutilated, contorted and headless corpses all over the room.

Tracy then punched the man in the face as hard as he could then kicked him in the gut until he was knocked off balance.

This gave Tracy time enough to race for the door and escape into the hallway.

He ran as hard as he could to exit the apartment building and continued running until he was able to flag down two Milwaukee police officers.

Tracy quickly told the officers about the last few hours he had endured with the man.
