In his affidavit, Merrill recounts the story of an unnamed man who told investigators that he paid Rogers to surgically remove his genitals. The man met Rogers over the Internet and later arranged to meet him in person at a Columbia motel, Merrill wrote.

I don't think he was on this board. He may have been on a different, slightly related board, closely connected with this one, though.

I went and read the articles and I think I know what the accused goes by on BME. I don't think I ever talked to this person, but if the article is true I hope he gets the book thrown at him. And people think eunuch wannabes/voluntary eunuchs are insane... <rolling eyes> At least we know what we want and only seek to help ourselves, this guy obviously victimized people.

Here's a good one (found on Matt Drudge's website):

German 'cannibal' tells of regret

Meiwes said Brandes agreed to be eaten

A German accused of killing and eating a man he met on a website for cannibals has expressed regret for his actions.

Armin Meiwes, who is awaiting trial, told a German newspaper he wants to deter other people from copying him.

Mr Meiwes, from Rotenburg, says his victim was a willing participant who ate part of his own body before Mr Meiwes stabbed him to death and stored his remains in a freezer.

The 41-year-old computer expert is expected to go on trial on 3 December.

Advertised on internet

The grisly details of the case caused a sensation in the German media when Mr Meiwes was arrested in December, 2002.

Meiwes stored Brandes' remains at his house

Mr Meiwes, a computer expert, met 43-year-old Bernd-Jurgen Brandes in early 2001, after Mr Meiwes advertised on websites for "young, well-built men aged 18 to 30 to slaughter", the German daily newspaper Bild reported at the time of his arrest.

Mr Meiwes told investigators he took Mr Brandes back to his home, where Mr Brandes agreed to have his penis cut off, which Mr Meiwes then flambeed and served up to eat together.

Shit, this is one weird fucking world. Cutting your or other people's genitals off... eating them, or feeding them to people is just strange as hell.

I posted a link to that article as a new thread.

Strange as hell, maybe, but that's the topic of 4 out of 5 stories on this website isn't it?

I'm sure that the Members of this board appreciate that remark.

As for the eating business, well, I'm not overly excited by that. In fact, it makes me a bit nauseous to think about it.

How does it make you feel that he possibly ate your genitals?

Man, I'd freak out.

Grisly details cited in case of Fulton man

Affidavit questions search ‘oversight.’

By JAMES GOODWIN of the Tribune’s staff

Published Wednesday, November 19, 2003

New allegations against Jack Wayne Rogers describe a dark world of genital mutilation and murder, while a delay in the search of the Fulton man’s property raises the question whether evidence could have been destroyed.

The former lay minister pleaded guilty in federal court last week to possessing child pornography. But records filed Monday in Callaway County Circuit Court suggest that Rogers, 58, also might have acted on other sordid fantasies.

People interviewed by the Missouri State Highway Patrol have said that Rogers has admitted to multiple murders and has surgically removed the genitals of willing subjects and unwitting victims in Columbia and elsewhere.

"Rogers called it ‘communion’ " when he consumed body parts of a victim, Sgt. David Merrill, a criminal investigator with the highway patrol, wrote in a court affidavit.

The document, which led Monday to a third search of Rogers’ property and a travel trailer at 707 Nichols St., outlines alleged acts of genital mutilation, cannibalism and murder. But if evidence suggests Rogers participated in any of the crimes, county prosecutors have yet to press charges.

Merrill wrote in the 17-page affidavit that "due to an oversight and despite the fact that I believed that probable cause existed to search … for human remains," investigators did not look for remains in flower beds, under paving stones or elsewhere in Rogers’ front and back yards during the first two searches.

Instead, investigators concentrated on finding the child pornography Rogers admitted last week in federal court to possessing.

There was a three-week span between the first search of Rogers’ property on March 18 and his arrest on April 9. The gap between those searches is provocative for investigators.

"I believe," Merrill wrote, "… that after the execution of the first search warrant and before being taken into custody, that Jack Rogers destroyed evidence which may have implicated himself" in the disappearance of Brandon K. Perry, 20, of Skidmore and other "yet to be discovered crimes" as well as the "illegal" genital surgeries.

Rogers’ lawyer in the pornography case, Valerie Leftwich, declined to discuss Merrill’s affidavit. "I would have no comment on that," she said.

Investigators have seized surgical tools and other materials from Rogers’ home that could lend credibility to accounts that he performed at least one genital surgery in Columbia.

In his affidavit, Merrill recounts the story of an unnamed man who told investigators that he paid Rogers to surgically remove his genitals. The man met Rogers over the Internet and later arranged to meet him in person at a Columbia motel, Merrill wrote.

The man and his wife met with Rogers and an unnamed associate, according to the affidavit. Rogers conducted the procedure as his associate handed him the surgical utensils and took photos, Merrill wrote.

Investigators later found the associate, who said he had known Rogers for a few years and had helped him perform the same operation on three other men.

"The individual told officers that the standard agreement between Jack Rogers and individuals undergoing Jack Rogers’ surgical procedures was that Jack Rogers would retain the severed and removed body parts for his own use," Merrill wrote. "The individual reports that Jack Rogers told him that Jack Rogers would on occasion eat" the body parts and that "on one occasion Jack Rogers asked if he wished to try it."

The man who underwent the procedure at the Columbia motel has identified himself in a digital image taken from a computer confiscated in April from Rogers’ now-defunct business, according to the Merrill affidavit.

That business, Deck & Decker Personnel Service, was located in a suite at 1900 N. Providence Road. A sex chamber and a manual describing the procedure for removing genitals were also found at the business, Merrill wrote.

Another man interviewed by state investigators said Rogers told him he "had killed a number of individuals and that they talked frequently about Jack Rogers’ involvement in performing surgeries involving the removal of male genitalia," Merrill wrote.

The man told investigators that Rogers once mentioned that one man had died during such a procedure. The man also reported that Rogers said he "would keep the teeth of victims and throw their teeth out of his car window while he drove to hide and dispose of the body," Merrill wrote.

In his affidavit, the investigator said he sought a third search warrant for Rogers’ home to look for human remains. Police confiscated a backpack, couch cushions and a blue plastic tub found in a travel trailer on Monday.

But an inventory of seized items makes no reference to human remains.

As much as this person's actions are in line with many of the fantasy stories posted (and which I admit to enjoying) he seems pretty creepy. The combination of a lay minister, boy scout leader, pedophile and cannibal cutter is not really what our community needs.
