Hidden Evil Volume 3 Sexual Deviants : True Crime: Serial Killers
Serial sexual homicide is a crime that is committed purely for sexual gratification. Well known serial killers such as Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy, and BTK were all motivated by power, sexuality, and brutality. These types of murders often receive widespread publicity, and create a sense of fear due to their nonsensical, motiveless, and random nature. At some point in the killer’s life, their sexual urges and arousal become intertwined with sadism – taking sexual pleasure from their victim’s fear, humiliation, physical, and emotional pain. The obsession often takes root during the adolescent years, around eleven or twelve years old, and it becomes a fantasy that is played over in the sadist’s mind.
Serial sexual homicide is a rare and disturbing form of serial killing often plagued with a specific pattern – multiple victims, sexual motivation, pattern of behavior, psychological factors, and being a high risk to society. This book will delve into the disturbing crimes committed by three disturbed men and shed light on the unsettling and heinous acts that led them to murder.
Herbert Baumeister, Albert Fish, and Robert Berdella were three men driven by powerful sexual forces and extreme criminal behavior. Their motivations were complex and often intertwined with psychological disorders and unique life experiences – family, background, relationships, education, career, and remarkable life events. Herbert Baumeiester targeted gay men and lured them to his upscale, million-dollar estate called Fox Hollow Farms. His motivations appeared to be a mix of sexual compulsion and a desire to live a normal life filled with stability, good relationships, and a balanced routine. Albert Fish was a cannibal and child rapist in the early twentieth century. His crimes were driven by extreme sadism and a perverse desire to inflict pain and suffering on his victims. Robert Berdella, also known as “The Kansas City Butcher,” targeted young men in the 1980s. He enjoyed torturing, raping, and killing his victims due to a strong desire for control and a motivation for sexual sadism to force physical pain and humiliation on his victims.

Unexpected Evil
Out of all three books in the Hidden Evil series by Caroline Bardot this book was the most evil. The three serial killers that the author focused on were monsters - "serial sexual murderers". These killers were dangerous and vicious. Their actions often unspeakable. For two of the murderers their torturous activities were unrelenting and reprehensible. These revolting sadists actions are not for the squeamish.
I have been a true crime fan since before undergrad both a Criminal Science & Psychology majors and in grad school a Prison Management & Substance Abuse Counselor majors. In Abnormal Psychology I wrote a paper about Albert Fish yet Bardot managed to teach me some things I had never read before. Herb Baumeister had been a dual personality serial killer, making it seem like two different men were killing very similar types of men. He cared so little for his victims and children he disposed of his victims not too far from his house and where his children played.
But far worse was Robert Berdella. His psychopathic tendencies knew no bounds. The crimes he inflicted on his victims were horrific, revolting, and remorseless. The torture savage, severe, and repugnant. His house was like an abattoir, even how he treated his victims was degrading and depraved. His barbaric cruelty was merciless. And the fact that no one could tell what had been going on at his house whenever he left home shows his sociopathic tendencies. If you want to understand the real meaning behind the term serial sexual killer you need to read this book!
