Jury braces itself for a horror tale of missing women and a pig farm

Good Heavens!
This crime is even more sensational than the Ed Gein murders, which inspired "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre". :(
This one will surely go down in the annals of serial-killer history.
How much do you want to bet they have the "True Crime" novel out in bookstores before the trial is even finished?
 
Is it a case of art imitating life, or life imitating art?

The popular movie and book "Hannibal" (sequel to "Silence of the Lambs") featured an eccentric millionaire who bred ferocious, man-eating hybrid pigs with the intention of feeding his enemies to them.

Dialogue from the movie, Snatch:

"You're always gonna have problems lifting a body in one piece. Apparently, the best thing to do is cut up a corpse into six pieces and pile it all together.
... Then when you got your six pieces, you gotta get rid of them, because there's no good in leaving it in a deep freeze for your mum to discover, now is it? Then I hear the best thing to do is feed them to pigs. You gotta starve the pigs for a few days then the sight of a chopped up body would look like curry to a pissant. You gotta shave the head of your victim and pull the teeth out for the sake of the piggy's digestion. You could do this afterwards of course but you don't wanna go sifting through pig sh!t now do ya? They will go through bone like butter. You need at least sixteen pigs to do the job in one sitting so be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm. They will go through a body that weighs two-hundred pounds in about...eight minutes. That means that a single pig can consume two pounds of un-cooked flesh every minute. Hence the expression: "as greedy as a pig."

I read Hannibal, then later saw the movie. The book was excellent, but the movie was really bad. Anyway, weren't the hogs the European type? We have them running wild here in Florida. They are extremely ugly beasts, and will eat anything from weeds to 2x4s. They are rooting animals which dig with their tusks for most of the food they eat.

These hogs are extremely destructive to the landscape, and the state has declared open season on them year around in Florida, so they are trapped and killed. These hogs are usually harmless, and if they see you in the woods they will run away. But if one is trapped, and you approach it, the hog will repeatedly ram itself into the bars on the steel cage trying to get to you. They can't stand the feeling of being caged. I've seen this first hand a number of times, and learned from it how dangerous these things can be.

On the other hand, if you raise one domestically, it can be like a pet dog. If its a male, though, it has to be fixed, or it might be ornery when its grown.

They were some sort of highly aggressive wild boar hybrids, bred from German and Italian pigs, or something. I don't remember.
The book was good; I like all of that guy's books, all four of them that I've read.
He writes intelligently. And Hannibal's a great character; he seems like the kind of guy I'd love to hang out with... except for the cannibalism and murder part, of course. Lol.
I did not, however, see the movie. Although I did see "Lambs".
I'm a Jodie Foster fan.

He is an excellent writer. I have only read Hannibal though. I think you would be disappointed in the movie. The ending was butchered, literally.

There is a thread on this site, 'Favorite 5 minute slices of movies,' or similar to that-don't remember if you've been there. I posted the scene in Silence of the Lambs where Christine tells Lecter the rest of her 'lamb' story. Her pain drawing an emotional orgasm from him. There's nothing like a psychological thriller that's done well. Also, the scene where Lecter savagely beats the cop to death. No rage or excitement, no pause in his thinking capability. Like a snake killing a rabbit.


I'm a Jodie Foster fan too, but probably for different reasons.
