Funeral Vampire

She’s called, “The funeral hobbyist” and "Borgia of America." Two nicknames for Ohio serial killer, Martha Wise. Martha was born in 1885 in a small town of Valley City, Ohio. Martha had a deep fascination of funerals. She attended every funeral she heard about. Wise told acquaintances, “I like funerals, I love having sad people around me and hearing the weeping of mourners." Later she married a man named Albert. A few years into the stale marriage, Martha and Albert had three daughters and buried one child at birth. During her pregnancy, Martha still worked on the farm, plowing and tending to the animals. Her husband was a brutal man who abused his wife in every possible way. Martha’s mother advised her to marry Albert or any man who looked her way because she was such a plain looking girl. At night, neighbors witnessed Martha in the field naked, dancing around and what appeared to be white foam coming from her mouth. The people around town lost count of the times they seen her in the fields crawling and acting odd.  

Albert was found dead in the house. The cause of death was unknown. Shortly after Albert’s death Martha met a much younger man, John Walters. She fell in love for the first time.

Her family was not thrilled and nagged Martha about dating a younger man. Her mother told she looked like a fool and was making a mockery of her children.

Martha was raging inside from her family’s words that played in her mind repeatedly. She became mad, walking aimlessly around the house, muttering words under her breathe, barking when she would hear sudden noises that distracted her. Her children stayed away from her. They feared for their lives.

  On New Year’s Day, 1925, Martha’s mother passed away. Her death thought to be caused by a severe stomach virus. A month later, Martha’s Aunt Lillian and uncle Fred Geinke were dead from the same cause, a stomach virus.

Others were ill in the Geinke home. Lillian and Fred’s three daughters suffered paralysis in their legs. They were kept at the hospital.

The local sheriff thought the story sounded strange and started to investigate. A few weeks into the case he found out arsenic had been poured into the private water supply of the Geinke family property. Martha heard the sheriff was on to her, so she had one more thing to clear up. She set the local church on fire. She sat in the woods as it burned. Martha giggled in delight.

A few days at home, the sheriff arrived for her arrest. Martha did not resist. Under questioning, Martha confessed to the three murders, she told the sheriff, "It was the devil who told me to do it. He came to me while I was in the kitchen baking bread. He came to me while I was working in the fields. He followed me everywhere." Martha confessed to local burglaries and arsons. “I like fires. They were red and bright, and I loved to see the flames shooting up into the sky." Martha pled insanity. John Walters help put Martha away. During the testimony he claimed that Martha had "barked like a dog" during sex. Jurors found her sane and guilty of first-degree murder. She was sentenced to life imprisonment.  Not long after her release from prison, she came back .She had nowhere to go and was unable to live among society. Under questioning, Martha confessed the three murders, but said, "It was the devil who told me to do it. He came to me while I was in the kitchen baking bread. He came to me while I was working in the fields. He followed me everywhere." She also cleared the books on other felonies, with her confessing to a string of burglaries and arson incidents.

Top Wicked Minds- Cannibals across the World

Jarno Elg . In 1975, Elg was born in Hyvinkää, Finland. As a child, he had a long history of violence towards animals. In one case, Elg killed a dog by duct taping it up and hitting it on a metal pipe. On November 21, 1998, Jarno Elg entered the house of an unnamed man and strangled him to death. He then continued to dissect the man, wrap his head in duct tape, and eat him with a group of accomplices. Elg had three accomplices and they took various body parts from the man and used them in a satanic ritual that included torturing the victim while listening to The Cainian Chronicle album by Norwegian black metal band Ancient.
The criminal investigation started when a decapitated leg was found at a dump site, thus giving the name “dump site murder” to the case. Jarno Elg sentenced to life in prison for the murder of a 23-year-old man. The Hyvinkaa District Court in southern Finland sentenced his accomplices Terhi Johanna Tervashonka, 17, to eight years and six months in prison and Mika Kristian Riska, 21, to two years and eight months. The convicted criminals were said to be involved in Satanism. The court declared most of the details of the case sealed for 40 years.





In 1868, Enriqueta Martí was born in Sant Feliu de Llobregat, Spain. As a young woman, Enriqueta moved to Barcelona where she worked as a maidservant and nanny, but soon turned to prostitution. Martí was described as a strange, false, and unpredictable woman. As she grew older, Enriqueta began to lead a double life. During the day, she dressed in rags, begged for food, and looked for abandoned children to kidnap. She would then make the children into prostitutes or murder them.
By night, Martí dressed in luxurious clothes, hats, and wigs, and attended the El Liceu, the Casino de la Arrabassada, and other places where the wealthy of Barcelona gathered. Enriqueta Martí was also a practicing witch-doctor who used the remains of her victims to make remedies. From these children, she used everything from their fat to blood, hair, and bones. For this reason, Martí did not have problems disposing of the bodies of her victims. She used the human meat to make black market medicines and food that wealthy people were willing to buy.
Enriqueta Martí was finally arrested in El Raval, mezzanine number 29 of Ponent Street (today Joaquín Costa Street). The forensic experts managed to differentiate a total of twelve different bodies with what little evidence they were able to recover. In her house, police found fifty pitchers, jars, and washbowls with preserved human remains, greasy lard, coagulated blood, children’s hair, skeletons of hands, powdered bones, pots with the potions, ointments, and salves already prepared for sale. In spite of suspicions, experts at the time were unable to verify if she was the deadliest serial killer in the history of Spain.
It is clear that Enriqueta Martí murdered a large collection of children in Barcelona before being caught. Additionally, the public suspected her of kidnapping babies. During this time in history, there were many children who disappeared without a trace in Spain, so much so that the population lived in fear. Enriqueta was never tried for her crimes. She died a year and three months after her arrest at the hands of prison mates. They killed her by lynching her on one of the prison patios. The death robbed authorities of the opportunity to expose all Martí’s secrets and gain information on her rich clients.





In 1893, Leonarda Cianciulli was born in Montella, Italy. As a child, she attempted suicide on two separate occasions and was greatly disturbed. Cianciulli had seventeen pregnancies during her marriage, but lost three of the children to miscarriage, and ten more died in their youth. In 1939, Cianciulli heard that her eldest son, Giuseppe, was to join the Italian army in preparation for World War II. She came to the conclusion that his safety required human sacrifices. Cianciulli then planned the murder of three middle-aged women. After the victims were comfortable, she killed them with an axe and cut their bodies into nine parts. She also gathered the blood into a basin.
In her memorial (titled “An embittered soul’s confessions”) Cianciulli describes what happened next: “I threw the pieces into a pot, added seven kilos of caustic soda, which I had bought to make soap, and stirred the whole mixture until the pieces dissolved in a thick, dark mush that I poured into several buckets and emptied in a nearby septic tank. As for the blood in the basin, I waited until it had coagulated, dried it in the oven, ground it and mixed it with flour, sugar, chocolate, milk and eggs, as well as a bit of margarine, kneading all the ingredients together. I made lots of crunchy tea cakes and served them to the ladies who came to visit, though Giuseppe and I also ate them.”
In regard to her third murder, Cianciulli said: “She ended up in the pot, like the other two…her flesh was fat and white, when it had melted I added a bottle of cologne, and after a long time on the boil I was able to make some most acceptable creamy soap. I gave bars to neighbors and acquaintances. The cakes, too, were better, that woman was really sweet.” Leonarda Cianciulli has become known as the “Soap-Maker of Correggio,” because she turned the remains of her victims into soap and food.
After a neighbor became suspicious of Cianciulli, the police were called, and she immediately confessed to the murders, providing detailed accounts of what she had done. Cianciulli was found guilty of her crimes and sentenced to thirty years in prison and three years in a criminal asylum. Leonarda Cianciulli died of cerebral apoplexy in the women’s criminal asylum in Pozzuoli on October 15, 1970. A number of artifacts from the case, including the pot in which the victims were boiled, are on display at the Criminological Museum in Rome.
