Ep. 125-Serial Killer "Cannibal" Joe Metheny

You can tell a lot about a true crime show by how it handles laughter. We start by addressing listener feedback about our humor and why we refuse to confuse coping with disrespect. We take victims seriously, we treat families carefully, and we do not extend courtesy to convicted killers just because they exist in a courtroom transcript. That boundary matters before we step into a topic as visceral as cannibalism.

From there, we share a headline out of Budapest, Hungary: a hospital worker accused of stealing human remains and preparing them as meals. The details are stomach turning, and the case sets up a bigger question about access, oversight, and how quickly a “normal” job can become a pipeline for the unthinkable. It is the kind of real-world horror story that reminds you this is not just legend or internet creepypasta.

Then we move to Maryland and the listener requested case: Joe Metheny, a Baltimore serial killer convicted of two murders who claimed he mixed victim flesh into barbecue sandwiches sold at a roadside stand. We walk through what is documented, what he confessed, and what police could not firmly prove, including the investigation timeline, forensic anthropology findings, and the legal mechanics of sentencing. We also ask the uncomfortable questions the case forces on anyone who loves true crime: what’s fact, what’s fabrication, and why do some offenders brag when the truth is already monstrous?

If this grabbed you, subscribe, share the episode with a friend who can handle it, and leave a review so more listeners can find the show.

Dedication To Jay And House Rules

SPEAKER_00 0:00

Our episode today is dedicated to Jay. He actually requested that we do an episode on Joe the cannibal. So here we go. This is Hold My Sweet Tea.

SPEAKER_01 0:56

And I'm Pearl. And I'm Holly. And we are having a J-centric episode.

SPEAKER_00 1:05

Yeah. This is this is what happens when listeners ask us to do stuff. We're going to pump you up. Yes.

SPEAKER_01 1:16

It's all about Jay today. And while cannibal.

SPEAKER_00 1:19

Yes.

Why We Joke About Dark Cases

SPEAKER_00 1:20

And while we're being silly at the beginning of this, I want to um bring up that we had a ton of YouTube comments that for some reason we weren't notified we had. So I finally um saw all of those. Right. And someone got upset because we were singing it wasn't me stuff in the beginning of one when we were talking about the Murdoch.

unknown 1:43

Right.

SPEAKER_01 1:43

And we were talking about Alex Murdoch.

SPEAKER_00 1:45

And she's like, oh, that's so disrespectful. Well, I just want to point out that I have zero respect for that man in particular. Exactly. There are moments before every episode where we act a little goofy. There are moments after every episode where we act a little goofy. And I'm going to tell you that if I didn't act goofy in those two moments my entire life, I would feel like shit. Right. Because that's our personality and that's how we're going to act. Yeah. Like I'm going to tell y'all when my grandmother died, who was like another mother to me, I made jokes at her funeral, not out of disrespect, but out of that is the way I handle bad shit. Right. Because if I don't find a way to bring myself some sort of levity, I would live in a depressive hole. Like our world is fucked. I don't know if the rest of you don't realize how fucked it is. So I'm not being disrespectful when I make jokes. And we've told you guys this in our, like when we first started podcasting, it's just the way we are. Right. If it's something that makes you uncomfortable, don't listen to us. Right.

SPEAKER_01 3:04

But it's easy. Everybody deals with traumatic things and in general in different ways. Right. Both of us deal with it with like this just weird sense of humor, but also we know when to be serious. And the rest of that episode was very strictly serious.

SPEAKER_00 3:22

And we we spoke about, you know, the the person who was convicted of this stuff in that episode. Right. And their family. And we were very careful. Right. Yeah. With how we how we handled the episode itself.

SPEAKER_01 3:40

But we were talking about Alex Murdaw, who is a complete piece of crap for killing his wife and son.

SPEAKER_00 3:45

And is and is basically allegedly apparently. Getting a retrial where they've thrown out all the evidence that proves he was in that dang building.

SPEAKER_01 3:55

Which is why we sang it wasn't me.

SPEAKER_00 3:57

Yeah. So here's my deal. I have nothing but respect for victims and their families. Absolutely. And everyone else that this resonates into. Do I have respect for the people who did it? Nope. Especially once they've been convicted of doing it. No. I I personally don't believe. Like you have a mental problem. It needs to be dealt with. Yes. I will be cooth about it at that point. But I don't owe a convicted killer respect. Nope. At all. Right. So I just wanted to clear that up.

SPEAKER_01 4:46

And that is her TED talk for the day.

SPEAKER_00 4:48

Yeah. And you know, they're like, oh, all the laughing, all the whatever. You're right. I laugh a lot. Yep. Me too. Because it makes me feel better. It's not because I think what happened is funny. Right. At all.

SPEAKER_01 5:04

But we got a lot of positive comments. Oh, yeah. We are so sorry that we haven't talked about those, but like she said, we weren't notified. For some reason, it's not bringing it to our email. So when she went back to check, she's like, oh my God, there's so many comments. So thank you, thank you all for leaving comments and like kind words and things like that. Yeah. And even if you are leaving words of critiques and criticisms.

SPEAKER_00 5:29

Yeah, no, I don't mind it at all.

SPEAKER_01 5:31

I just wanted to clarify. She wanted, yes. We're gonna clarify like the way we are standing because we're the ones speaking, we're the ones saying it. And like she said, if you if you don't agree with that, you don't have to listen. But we do really appreciate the ones of you that do listen and understand where we're coming from because everybody has a personality, and this is just ours.

SPEAKER_00 5:54

Correct. And how we handle all the bad shit.

SPEAKER_01 5:57

Ask our children, we roast them every day.

SPEAKER_00 5:59

Yes. Yeah, exactly. And I mean, my my daughter posted it on my birthday about me being her biggest bully. She knows that I'm I'm playing with out of love. And it is completely out of love. And she she messes with me hard back. And it's like just it's just the way we are. Because I'm gonna tell you, my life has been rough. And if I just lived in that roughness, y'all would hate me. Then you would have mental issues.

SPEAKER_01 6:31

Yeah, I would like things that but that's your therapy and that's how you handle it.

SPEAKER_00 6:35

I might be out there killing people at that point. You are a cancer. Yes, that's what I was about to say. I am likely to become one if I don't laugh. So, you know, bear with me as I giggle sometimes.

SPEAKER_01 6:50

Absolutely. But on a lighter note, blessed be the emotional support coffee that I have this morning. It is almost the 4th of July. And may the caffeine open. May the caffeine open. There we go. That's what praise be the coffee bean.

SPEAKER_00 7:11

That's right. So and now we're gonna get like totally beat up for being that way. Right.

SPEAKER_01 7:21

And and also, you know, we know we ruined beef jerky for everybody. So we're about to ruin some other meats. Yeah, just in time. Just to give you a warning. If you do not want to listen to anything about cannibalism, yeah, then go ahead. Don't listen to this episode. Don't listen to it. You've been warned.

Cannibalism Warning And Spooky Season

SPEAKER_01 7:41

Here it goes. I haven't heard it yet, but I know I'm gonna be grossed out, so let's go.

SPEAKER_00 7:46

And you know, lucky for you guys, it's coming out after the 4th of July. So your barbecue is safe.

SPEAKER_01 7:56

Right. And also, just to say, after the 4th of July, on July 5th, it is officially spooky season.

unknown 8:06

Whoop whoop.

SPEAKER_01 8:07

I am here for it.

SPEAKER_00 8:08

I mean, it's always spooky season. Right.

SPEAKER_01 8:10

But like officially, officially, we're done with all the lame holidays. Now we can get into spooky season. Get into the cool stuff. Yes.

The Hungarian Hannibal News Story

SPEAKER_00 8:20

So before we get into the cannibal that Jay asked us to cover, I saw something that came out on June 24th, like a news article that I just wanted to share a little bit of. And it is out of Budapest. Hungary. So there is a hospital worker that has been accused of stealing human remains from work. He's also stealing human remains from what would be considered abandoned cemeteries. So I guess they're not in active use any longer.

SPEAKER_01 9:10

But still, you're disrupting remains, kind of like my Jonathan Gerlich episode.

SPEAKER_00 9:16

Yeah, but he's not selling anything. He is preparing and eating them as meals. It's a 30-year-old man, and what they arrested him on was suspicion of illegal use of a human body.

SPEAKER_01 9:41

Gross.

SPEAKER_00 9:42

They said that during their search, they found a prepared human face, facial skin, some bones stored in a suitcase, an entire lower leg, a brain, a hand, a whole head, several skulls, and a heart in a jar. They are unsure, however, if that heart that was in a jar was animal or human.

SPEAKER_01 10:21

Well, I mean, at this point, does it really matter? I mean, he's got human remains in his mouth that don't belong to him. That don't belong to him. He was saving those bones for some bone broth later. You know? He's like, keep it healthy, bone broth.

SPEAKER_00 10:41

So upon interrogating this man, it is alleged that he said he's particularly attracted to human body parts and has actually consumed them in various ways. Fava beans and a Chianti. You know, the police are actually referring to him as the Hungarian Hannibal. Ah! I knew it. Since you said that. I knew it. His name is not released at this point or anything else. So that's an ongoing investigation. I just felt like I could share the we tid.

SPEAKER_01 11:26

You know, since we're talking about can't I'm over here eatable yogurt while you're doing you see, it doesn't phase me. I'm like, eh, whatever. No me yogurt. Yeah. Gotta get my protein in for the day.

SPEAKER_00 11:43

So on to Jay's recommendation. Jay, Jay, Jay, Jay. I'm sure he's probably listening at work going, it's me.

SPEAKER_01 11:55

It's me. This episode's about me. Our four. Jessica! I know. Right? It's me, Jessica. I love that. Oh my goodness. All right, Jay.

SPEAKER_00 12:08

Here we go. All right.

Meet Joe Metheny In Maryland

SPEAKER_00 12:10

So from Hungary to Maryland we go. Joe Mephany. He's a serial killer who claims to have sold his victim's remains in barbecue sandwiches. So Joe's not just eating people. Joe is serving them up to you.

SPEAKER_01 12:44

So kind of a sweeney Todd situation. Right.

SPEAKER_00 12:51

Well, he is claimed to have killed ten people. There's something else that says 13. But apparently he's only been convicted of two murders and one kidnapping. Only. Only he had murdered and was convicted of killing these women. Two women in Baltimore in the mid-1990s. These two women are Kathy Magaziner and Kimberly Spicer. He's he was a rather large man. I say he was because he was actually found dead in his cell in 2017. But he was nicknamed Tiny because that's how it always goes.

SPEAKER_01 13:52

Right. You got these big guys and they're like, oh, I'm gonna call you Tiny.

SPEAKER_00 13:57

Right. And when he was caught, he like part of his confession to police was that he's a very sick person. Like I find it interesting that they realize what they're doing is not okay. Yeah yet that doesn't stop what they're doing.

SPEAKER_01 14:26

Right. They don't go try to seek help or anything like that. It just I think fuels them more. They're like, well, now that I've I've come to terms with what I'm doing and I know it's wrong, I'm just just gonna do it.

SPEAKER_00 14:40

Right.

SPEAKER_01 14:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 14:42

And during his confession to magaziner's murder, he actually told detectives he got a rush out of it, he got a high out of it. Now he would describe how after killing the women he stored their flesh in a freezer and that he then opened up a little open pit beef stand is how he put it.

SPEAKER_01 15:17

This is why I have issues eating things from like somebody's house or like something local like that, because I'm like, what's really going in there? And not all restaurants are like compliant as they should be, right? But like you can kind of at least hope and pray.

SPEAKER_00 15:42

Hope and pray. Like y'all, y'all don't know what you're eating. You have no idea. Right. You never know. I mean, now we had a restaurant. I did not feed people people. No, I didn't feed people cats or dogs either, or horses, you know, legit. It was what it said it was.

SPEAKER_01 16:01

Those wagyu burgers that y'all had were like the best burgers ever.

SPEAKER_00 16:06

Yeah, they were a blend. It was yep.

SPEAKER_01 16:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 16:09

Well, according to Joe, no one can tell the difference between pork and human flesh when the two are mixed together.

SPEAKER_01 16:23

So I don't like pork. I'm not a pork person, so I'm okay.

SPEAKER_00 16:32

During the time where he killed these two women, he was actually living in a trailer on the lot

Victims And How Police Closed In

SPEAKER_00 16:40

of a pallet company. Spicer's body was discovered in December 1996. And that's what led to everything else cut like coming undone. And then a few days after the discovery of her body is when Joe actually showed police the location of magazineers.

SPEAKER_01 17:13

Yeah. And if he was like staying on a in a trailer at a pallet company, he'd probably selling to like construction workers and you know things like that. Like when they do like little food pop-ups and they bring stuff out, ew.

SPEAKER_00 17:31

Yeah. Yeah. Ew is right. Ew. So like I said before, he's like claimed that he's killed so many other people, but the reason he isn't brought up on charges on anything else is because police can't seem to gather enough evidence to be able to charge him with the other stuff he's claiming to have committed. And before his conviction in the deaths of the two women, he was actually acquitted of murdering two homeless men with an ax. Though he later said that, like himself, that he was guilty of doing it. Right. So he got he got off on those. Now, I guess it's hard to believe whether Joe's telling the truth or not because even during court proceedings, he tried to tell people that his mom was dead and she wasn't. So I guess, you know, there's that mixture of which part of this guy's stuff is the truth. Right. And what's not real. Right. So I just want to know I guess that makes it understandable that they were having a hard time sticking anything else to him at that point.

SPEAKER_01 19:05

So he killed people with a hatchet. I just want to know. Two men. Is he a juggalo? He was like chop, chop, swing.

SPEAKER_00 19:12

Yeah, he might be. Did he have the juggalo tattoo? Right. I don't know. There's no telling, because I mean he was in jail, he could have gotten one. Maybe. You know that they ain't got nothing else to do.

SPEAKER_01 19:29

They do be a little crazy, those juggalos.

SPEAKER_00 19:34

Right. I am able to see court stuff from you know the state versus Methaney, because he uh went to court for the killings of the ladies. And all of that is public record, so everybody can go uh look his name up. And I wonder if he only only killed women. So it it's it's claimed that he was killing prostitutes.

SPEAKER_01 20:14

Oh, okay. So then yeah.

SPEAKER_00 20:15

And so he was saying like all these other victims were of the same nature. So he actually admits that he robbed and murdered Magaziner, and he basically agrees to plead guilty to the murder and robbery, but actually wanted a jury for his sentencing phase.

SPEAKER_02 20:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 20:50

Hence the reason there is a whole proceeding. So part of his guilty plea, he signed a statement of facts, and it gets read into record, and then it's disclosed to the jury during sentence consideration. On December 15th, 1996, at about 1.40 in the morning, that's when police and the F FBI task force

Confession Details And Forensic Findings

SPEAKER_00 21:31

arrest Joe in an unrelated matter to this.

SPEAKER_01 21:37

Yeah, and that's what they usually do. They'll find something else to arrest them for.

SPEAKER_00 21:42

Which I'm assuming was the other murder. During the course of this unrelated investigation, he gives several statements to detectives and a review of said statements shows that he met. Catherine, magaziner, one night in July of 1994, he takes her to his trailer, he says that he has sex with her. And while she's still partially clothed, he strangles her and robs her of her purse and the rest of her clothing. He then buries her in a shallow grave and then takes her belongings and buries them somewhere else. So the the palette company where he's at in Baltimore City where he's living, is on a lot that's next to like a wooded area. And you know, like a company like that is gonna be surrounded by a big old fence, like eight foot high, chain link fence, barbed wire top, because they don't want you stealing their palace. There really isn't anything going on around that place at night. So like it's like two blocks away to the nearest anything. So, you know, he's got the perfect place out there alone in the night. You know, he gets he gets arrested. And he's you know, talking about how I guess she was like an easy target for him because she was thin, but she and sh while she was like tall, it was just like somebody he knew he could overtake. He admits to the police that he buries her without her clothing and you know says that the body that after the body had been buried for about six months, he actually went back to the burial location and dug her up to take her skull. But then he puts her skull in a trash box. Like what's he doing? The box containing the skull was later removed and it ends up in Oxford, Pennsylvania. What? Yeah. Now initially he makes an error in the location of her body. Eventually they do use cadaver dogs and they find the remains.

SPEAKER_01 24:56

So they're out here just trying to like hunt down all of these pieces of what they can find then. Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_00 25:05

Now they were unable to find her purse or any of her clothing, even though he like admittedly told them, you know, I put them somewhere else. Yeah. But eventually, you know, her skeletal remains are found and they're taken back to the chief medical examiner. Dr. Rodriguez, who's an expert in forensic anthropology, he writes a report on February 10th, 1997, and he says, the absence of the cranium and position of the mandible and the right humerus is indicative of the remains having been disturbed prior to their excavation. In his opinion, the morphology exhibited by the mandible and the postcranial skeleton is consistent with that of an adult female, and that she was Caucasian. Yeah. So he was able to confirm those things by just looking. Advanced environmental weathering exhibited by the remains are suggestive of a post-mortem interval of approximately two to three years. So she's been buried that at least that one. Wow.

SPEAKER_01 26:32

So he didn't use like all of the body parts for making pulled pork or whatever he was making. Right.

SPEAKER_00 26:42

He just, I guess he was selective with pieces.

SPEAKER_01 26:46

Right. So I think maybe it was like the easier chopped-off pieces or something, and then he um Like who knows?

SPEAKER_00 26:52

I mean, he could not even chopped off whole portions. Like not like you know, he could be I I hate to be gross, but I know. So I'm like trying to dance around with skinning, skinning and cutting off meat. I don't I don't know. Um but apparently he did say that he used his hands and an extension cord to strangle her. Ew. He said that he drug her back into the woods and buried her, and then admits to the months later returning to her body and removing her skull. And then he says initially that it was around July 3rd, 1994, because I knew the Fourth of July was right around the same area when I did this. Right. So it had to have been within the first two weeks of July is basically what he's like. This is how he's remembering because so he kind of just pairs it around like what holidays.

SPEAKER_01 28:07

It's 4th of July, yeah, sure. That's when I did it. Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_00 28:12

And when asked what happened with the clothes, he said, I bear I think I buried them with the purse. And like literally, they're asking him stuff like what what kind of shoes did she have on? What color were they? Like things like that. Like trying to see how many details they can get. And he's like, Um, I'm pretty sure they were white tennis shoes. And um they're like, Oh, did you bury the shoes with them with her clothes? And he's like, Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 28:47

So he really wasn't probably thinking about that part. He was just no, yeah, focused on what he was doing, all the nasty shit.

SPEAKER_00 28:55

And and then he's like saying, you know, like the clothes in the purse, though, I I buried those even more shallow than her body. Like he said it wasn't even really like burying him, it was like I kind of just kicked dirt, just covering him up, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 29:08

Like, oh, nobody's gonna really notice those.

SPEAKER_00 29:11

And then he's like, I don't really have any real reason for why I did it. He's like, call it what you want. I had no

Sentencing Phase And Legal Questions

SPEAKER_00 29:20

real excuse why, other than I like to do it.

SPEAKER_01 29:24

So he just liked to kill people and eat them. Because he got a high from it. That's so gross.

SPEAKER_00 29:35

Obviously, the trial judge instructs the jury on how the death penalty works. And he says before a death sentence can be considered, the first degree murder must have been accompanied by the aggravating circumstance that's alleged by the state. Now, the only aggravating circumstance which you may consider is like the robbery allegedly committed during the commission or attempting to commit the first degree murder of Kathy. That has to be the only thing that they're like, even though there's other extenuating circumstances with her murder that were, you know, explained in court by the prosecutors, they're not allowed to use that as part of the consideration for the first degree murder sentencing. So basically, an intent to kill is necessary for first-degree murder, and the intent to permanently deprive the person of the property is an element of offense to the robbery. So basically, like trying to take her stuff first initially is what makes it aggravated when then he takes her life. So they're instructed to keep that in mind, and then like they're told, you know, you don't have to consider motive, like that's not part of that. So the state has already proven beyond a reasonable doubt. So your job is solely deciding what his sentence is going to be.

SPEAKER_01 31:34

Right. And to me, I mean, even hearing any of that, that's an automatic, like, not just guilty, but you know. Like, how would you I know law books have certain laws set aside for certain things. Do they have things set aside for cannibalism? Like, how would you frame that not as just murder, but ingestion of a corpse?

SPEAKER_00 32:11

Yeah, I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 32:13

There's so many, there's so many weird legal terms, but like, how what is that?

SPEAKER_00 32:17

Would you get charged with for like feeding it to other people?

SPEAKER_01 32:20

Yeah, that and that's what I was trying to say. Like, I'm trying to like think about it like what would you, you know, get charged with? I don't I don't know. We'll

Did He Really Feed People?

SPEAKER_01 32:30

have to look that up.

SPEAKER_00 32:31

Like, is there anything?

SPEAKER_01 32:35

I mean, murder, cannibalism, ingestion of corpse, feeding it to other people, like there's I don't know. There's so many weird things in this case.

SPEAKER_00 32:51

Right. So during his serving of two life sentences for the kidnap for kidnapping and sexual assault and murder, Methany dies. He's just found unresponsive in his cell at Western Correction Institute in Cumberland.

SPEAKER_01 33:14

How unfortunate for him.

SPEAKER_00 33:16

Yeah. In 2017. So he is he's gone.

SPEAKER_01 33:25

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 33:27

Of course, it always says his death is under investigation. Was there anything to come of it stating what his cause of death was? Right.

SPEAKER_01 33:38

Was somebody in jail did it? Was it suicide? Was yeah. Well, he didn't have anybody to eat in there, I guess, so maybe he starved to death.

SPEAKER_00 33:47

Right. Hunger strike. But I I feel like it was just probably natural causes.

SPEAKER_01 33:55

More than likely, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 33:57

So I don't I don't think that if there was anything obvious, I mean, if there was something obvious, like he got beat to death or something like that. Maybe that would be uh something to look into, but I don't really feel like they had much to check out. But yeah. I don't know if he did anything to Spicer in that manner, but you know, he claims what he claims. So I'm just like, was Joe really a cannibal? Did he really feed people other people?

SPEAKER_01 34:54

Yuck. Will we ever truly know? Will you ever eat another pulled pork sandwich from one of those, you know, roadside stands? No.

SPEAKER_00 35:06

No. So we're ranking pulled pork sandwiches up there with beef jerky. It's just not gonna happen. Not happening. Now I am personally sensitive to pork. It causes my blood pressure to go up. So I try not to.

SPEAKER_01 35:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 35:24

Well, it's so salty and I'm gonna do it.

SPEAKER_01 35:26

Occasionally I'll eat bacon and stuff or a little maybe a little bit of ham, but anything else, I don't really like pork at all.

SPEAKER_00 35:34

So yeah. I'm just kind of grossed out by the idea that somebody like unknowingly, it's much like your um sausage.

SPEAKER_01 35:44

Oh yeah, the sausage ghost.

SPEAKER_00 35:48

Sausage man. I mean, it's basically what he was doing, right? But then you go into feeding his wife and right into yeah, the Sweeney Todd thing, because you know the demon barber of Fleet Street. It's not bad enough that you're eating it yourself, you're gonna feed it to other people. Like, what do you get out of that? I guess it's just the idea that you know something they don't know. Right.

SPEAKER_01 36:11

And then you're like, I'm disposing of all of this and nobody knows, but it's the tastiest thing around.

SPEAKER_00 36:18

Right.

SPEAKER_01 36:19

Ugh. Yeah, that's disgusting.

SPEAKER_00 36:22

So no lunch for me today. And um you're welcome that this didn't come out before 4th of July. Right. While you're all out there eating hamburgers, hot dogs, and pulled pork sandwiches.

SPEAKER_01 36:36

And if you want us to ruin another type of food for you,

Email Requests And After Dark Stories

SPEAKER_01 36:40

please do like Jay and email the suggestion.

SPEAKER_00 36:45

At holdmysweet tea podcast at gmail.com. Yep. Yes. Speaking of which, we got an email. I don't know if you saw it, somebody doing a um like a show on TV about a 2022 New Orleans crime that they're looking for people to talk about it in said film. So so check our email, Holly.

SPEAKER_01 37:12

Yeah, I will. Sorry. It's summer and you know, we get a little busy here. Like that work. Do we respond? Should we be on TV? I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 37:24
