NEW YORK -- A city police officer was charged Thursday with plotting to kidnap, rape, torture and kill women he had identified and catalogued on his computer, and then cook and eat their body parts.

Gilberto Valle sent numerous emails and other Internet communications about the ghoulish torture and cannibalism scheme, according to a criminal complaint. There was no information that any women harmed.

"I was thinking of tying her body onto some kind of apparatus ... cook her over low heat, keep her alive as long as possible," Valle allegedly wrote in one online exchange in July, the complaint says.

The officer was to appear later Thursday in federal court in Manhattan to face kidnapping charges. The name of his attorney was not immediately available.

A search of Valle's computer found he created records of at least 100 women with their names, addresses and photos, the complaint says. Some of the information came from his unauthorized use of a law enforcement database, authorities said.

"The allegations in the complaint really need no description from us," said Mary E. Galligan, acting head of the FBI's New York office. "They speak for themselves. It would be an understatement merely to say Valle's own words and actions were shocking."

There was no immediate response to a message left with the NYPD on Thursday.

Valle met one potential victim over lunch, authorities said.

The complaint alleges that in February, Valle negotiated to kidnap another woman for someone else, writing, "$5,000 and she's all yours."

It says he added: "I will really get off on knocking her out, tying up her hands and bare feet and gagging her. Then she will be stuffed into a large piece of luggage and wheeled out to my van."

Cellphone data revealed that Valle made calls on the block where the woman lives in March, the complaint says. An FBI agent interviewed the woman, who told them that she didn't know him well and was never in her home.

Valle, 28, lives in Queens. He had been assigned to a Manhattan precinct before his suspension on Wednesday.

This story's sick, but I can't help but to be curious. I wonder what kind of girl he was planning to cook and eat. Usually a serial killer will have a type. Fatties would probably taste better (minimal physical activity means more tender meat). But then if he's planning to rape them what's the point of going after fatties?

The real question is, who the fuck was he emailing?

This is one of the most notable cannibalism cases EVER out of New York...

Man Acquitted of Killing and Boiling Roommate

By RONALD SULLIVAN
Published: February 23, 1991

A Manhattan jury found an East Village man not guilty by reason of insanity yesterday for killing and dismembering his roommate after she tried to throw him out of her apartment.

After nine days of deliberations, the jury concluded that Daniel Rakowitz, a 30-year-old dishwasher and self-styled marijuana guru, suffered from mental disease or defect and thus was not criminally responsible for the Aug. 19, 1989 murder of Monika Beerle, whose skull he left in the baggage room at the Port Authority Bus Terminal in a bucket of kitty litter.

After jurors returned their verdict yesterday in State Supreme Court in Manhattan, Mr. Rakowitz thanked them and said, "I hope someday we can smoke a joint together."

"I won't fault you for your verdict," said Mr. Rakowitz, who had frequently interrupted the six-week trial with bizarre outbursts. "The prosecution had an overwhelming case against me. But I'll be getting out soon and I'll sell a lot of marijuana so I can bring to justice the people who actually committed this crime."

Smiling from the defense table at Justice Robert M. Haft, Mr. Rakowitz offered to smoke a joint with the judge, too. But the judge waved him off with an embarrassed smile and called the trial a "lulu."

Actually, the jury returned its verdict three times. The first time, the forewoman misplaced her verdict sheet. The second, the court reporter was absent.

Several jurors questioned afterward said one holdout juror was principally responsible for preventing them from returning a guilty verdict.

"We don't think he intended to kill her," said a juror, Asuncion Cummings. "But once he did, he dismembered her body in an effort to commit the perfect crime."

A finding that Mr. Rakowitz is not mentally responsible for the crime means he will remain in a state hospital for the criminally insane until a judge, with the advice of psychiatrists, finds he is no longer a danger to himself or to others.

The jury said it was deadlocked on a count of tampering with evidence -- dismembering Ms. Berle in their apartment at 700 East Ninth Street. But Justice Haft said it was not vital and declared a mistrial on the count.

Mr. Rakowitz, a former mental patient, said during the trial that he would rather go to prison than a mental hospital because he did not like being medicated.

He testified that he did not kill Ms. Beerle, a 26-year old Swiss woman who studied dance at the Martha Graham School while working as a topless dancer. But he did admit that he dismembered her, bleached and boiled the bones "to disinfect them," and hid them. After rumors that a body had been boiled reached local detectives, he was questioned, and led them to the Port Authority Bus Terminal baggage room, where he had left her skull.

One witness testified that shortly after the killing, Mr. Rakowitz had served homeless men in Tompkins Square Park soup containing a human finger.

A native of Texas, Mr. Rakowitz came to New York in 1985 and walked around the East Village carrying a live chicken and selling marijuana, calling himself the "God of Marijuana."
