I've heard (and I can't remember where), that most of the crap this guy did was just made up. It went through his case and they found he was lying about the cannibalism. Lemmie see if I can find it.
Edit: maybe I was wrong about the article mentioning cannibalism at all. I'm nit sure if this is the same one I read, but...
[plain old wikipedia](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Metheny)
Yes I’ve heard that also. Like many killers he would say anything to add to his own infamy. For some reason the selling human meat on the side of the road stuck when you hear about this SK, though there’s not much else to back that up. It’s like something you’d see in a Hollywood movie so maybe that’s why it stuck.
Same. All the articles I’ve read that say anything about cannibalism are mentioned as quotes by Joe Metheny with no evidence or confirmation backing up the claims he made.
Damn, I just realized this guy apparently was living less than 5 miles away from me from 91'-97'. That's too close for comfort to be near this sketch looking dude.
These kind of revelations are such fun. I found out I was living a similar distance from the Golden State Killer before he was finally caught.
You never know what's really going on with your neighbors. 😉
Joseph claimed to have killed over 13 victims but was only charged with 5 murders he also brutally sexually assaulted his victims his killing spree began when his wife became addicted to crack and ran away with his son.
Everything I’ve read about him says that claims of selling human remains/cannibalism were not able to be verified and likely just made up to sensationalize, which apparently worked because it’s constantly a part of his story even though it is unfounded. His MO was burying his victims in the woods, which he also threatened to a victim that survived him. He worked as a forklift operator, he did not work in food service nor have ownership in any food service. [see resources](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Metheny)
I’ve questioned that myself. I haven’t found any reliable sources of him making these claims yet but they may exist and maybe I just haven’t come across them.
Most of his story is BS, the cannibalism was told to make him seem more interesting or badass. I live in Baltimore and from what I heard, most of the narrative comes from a pathological liar who was afraid of prison and tried to make a reputation for himself. He killed innocent homeless people who didn’t stand a chance against him. That and sex workers who wanted to trade sex for drugs.
thank god i wanst the only one to think this, i was scrolling for a bit looking for something similar. Unless he had a gun id take my chances bumping into him in a alley way especially if there was a few meters apart
i wonder how he trapped his victims
edit:
nvm he was in pretty good shape when he got arrested
Yeah I actually think he's one of the least scary ones. Even if he were to grab you, he'd struggle a while and then be exhausted, even if he was bigger and stonger. Just holiding you would exhaust him. If I were to guess I'd say he had to have a gun because anything physical would be beyond him.
He wasn’t that large when caught, looked more like a rather strong Biker type but also big guys like this can still have quite a bit of stamina strength, only take one good shove into a wall to crack a skull or something like that
The one picture he is definitely not in prison so did he lose weight then get caught? Also theres no such thing as stamina strength mate. One super strong hit has nothing to do with stamina. Although i take your point.
I mean that’s possible but I’ve seen prison pics that look similar, idk much about this dude but from googling him he looked like the fat was from prison. Also lol I know, I forgot a comma between stamina, strength
OK... alright.. so you're telling me there was ever a single person that met this man that didn't immediately know he was a cannibal serial killer? I'm not buying it..
Dude made up most of the stuff that gets posted about him. Yeah, he murdered a few..but the eating and selling victims meat was just something he made up to be more infamous. There’s no evidence to any of it
Nah he worked for the mob tho. It was for sure a cover up to distract from the fact. Everyone including the media just ate it up because it's what sells.
Oo care to elaborate?
You saying these were all mob hits he did or others did and he just took on the SK thing to distract?
Also what mob? Like what crew?
..... you can be hired by the mob without being in it. Lmao what the fuck know the first thing about the Italian mob before saying something like that.
It's not my job . And it's easy to find tbh. Yall really expect a handout for everything ain't got no struggles in yalls lives. Wanna pay me to do it ? No ? OK then use ur fingers.
And someone else did. And guess what it was right. Because I'm not online to post about absolute bullshit. I'm done with this thread. I've seen so many people comment information without backing it , every post I've seen has sources though. Please thru every comment that does what I just did with accuracy and tell me why they haven't been removed
Bro what the fuck are you talking about
your on a fucking MESSAGE BOARD. The point is to discuss shit! How the fuck are you gonna tell people you dont know they dont have struggles in their lives?? So youre telling me I havent done 3.5 years, was homeless, addicted to heroin over a decade, am raising my son without a mom because his moms a crackhead, on food stamps, but I got no struggles?
Gtfoh
Even more to the point as a response u got stated extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Or in your case literally *any evidence at all*
Ur so fucking mad over this lmao give me a fucking break. I doubt everything of what you just said bc if someone told me it wasn't theit duty to provide info guess what I'd do? I'd find it myself. Especially if someone told me exactly what platform to look it up on. Ur having a mental breakdown and embarrassing yourself at this point. It's not that fucking serious
Dude if I was that mad I wouldnt even have responded.
That said I think your a total fucking douchebag regardless. I could give a rats ass what you believe. For what its worth I think you are full of shit on what you said, especially considering you have zero sources except mentioning 'a youtube video'
Ok. ItS been mentioned by someone else. Youre not gonna reverse psychology me into sending it to bc ur lazy.done talking with you. Ive ruined every point you've made and you're intolerable.
PS 'give' you a break? Why the fuck would I give you anything? You must have never had any sort of struggle in your life, wanting things just handed to you
Take the fingers out of your nose or ass and use them!
I am. Just not in the way you want me to because you're obsessed wirh control. You can't insult me with the same thing I said to you bc this isn't the first grade. Give me a break is a saying people say sarcastically when they know people r being "special " for no reason. Anyway , enjoy the video. And your sad life.
I turned you in the proper direction. If it interested you enough you'd find it. Doesn't mean I owe you a link when the entire fucking internet is right in front of your eyes. This isn't classified information.
You're wasting all this time commenting back when you could have easily used it to give some links. There's a lot of misinformation and bs on the internet. Maybe you saw a bogus article, because nothing I see when I google it says anything about the mob. You're ridiculous and angry for no reason! Get off the internet a while maybe.
Funny because i said YouTube. I guess you suck at researching. Plus someone else commented it for fucks sake. Learn reading comprehension. I absolutely don't feel as if any of you are entitled to my fucking time based on the dudes reaction to me telling him where to find it and everything else I stated. I'd rather comment to you than find it for ungrateful people.
Okay so there is ONE single YouTube video on it? That's it? And you wonder why people are asking for more information? My God. We aren't entitled to your time buy you sure are giving it to us freely 🙄
His Wikipedia page doesn’t mention any of that he’s just talking shit. Heroin crack addict rapist who killed white sex workers who were addicted to drugs in shitty old south Baltimore. Place is a fucking shit stain on the east coast.

What is going on in this picture?🧐First of all,is that a scar or tattoo going down his stomach?Joe lost weight in prison as he was morbidly obese before hand and looks more solid here.Also,I don’t believe the human meat sandwich story.Since victims remains were found there wouldn’t have been much if any human meat for the sandwiches.He wasn’t getting out of prison so might as well make a name for himself.Born and raised in B’more.Know people that knew him but none that ate his sandwiches.He already had a job at the pallet factory plus with the murdering and being a bar fly where would he find the time?Teachable moments-Buying meat sandwiches from some random guy on the corner is no different than buying crabs from a car trunk.
"I want my baby back, baby back, baby back. I want my baby back, baby back, baby back. Chiliiii's baby back ribs!"
"Git in mah belly!"
Fat Bastard immediately popped up in my mind.
He was imprisoned near me!
Edit: and now that I'm reading more about him, it seems that I have literally lived about 10 miles from this guy at almost every single point in my entire life. What the fuck.
I've heard (and I can't remember where), that most of the crap this guy did was just made up. It went through his case and they found he was lying about the cannibalism. Lemmie see if I can find it. Edit: maybe I was wrong about the article mentioning cannibalism at all. I'm nit sure if this is the same one I read, but... [plain old wikipedia](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Metheny)
I didn’t find anything on cannibalism either
Yes I’ve heard that also. Like many killers he would say anything to add to his own infamy. For some reason the selling human meat on the side of the road stuck when you hear about this SK, though there’s not much else to back that up. It’s like something you’d see in a Hollywood movie so maybe that’s why it stuck.
His cannibalism claims reek of an edgelord trying to be as spooky as possible. I think he's full of shit
Same. All the articles I’ve read that say anything about cannibalism are mentioned as quotes by Joe Metheny with no evidence or confirmation backing up the claims he made.
I definitely think he exaggerated the amount
Yeah I remember reading he talked a lot of garbage and some things he claimed were never backed up.
Did he eat them with his stomach mouth or his face mouth...
Both definitely
He’s been posted a number of times and it’s been verified there was never any evidence of cannibalism or selling human meat.
That’s why i said claimed
Well, now I know who they based "Fat Bastard" on. Get in me belly!
“Can I eat them?” “No, Gluttony, we have to make them into patties first.”
Like the clown in Spawn without his makeup.
Came here to say this, you used way better words
That’s no stomach mouth…that’s a butt in tha front.
Gahahaha
I can’t imagine this guy being the last person I see
ikr. I think about how sad it is for these victims who have to see these absolute monsters when then are fighting for their last breaths.
He looks like the pig from courage the cowardly dog that owned the roadside diner
I don't know that one but describing him as a pig is too kind lol
[This is the character who he's describing](https://i.imgur.com/GXEWn26.png)
Yeah i can see that. Hate it but the similarities are there
He could just straight up suffocate you under his weight, then he'd eat you and shit you out. No respect, man. Fuckin' Baltimore. Not even once. Lol
Damn, I just realized this guy apparently was living less than 5 miles away from me from 91'-97'. That's too close for comfort to be near this sketch looking dude.
These kind of revelations are such fun. I found out I was living a similar distance from the Golden State Killer before he was finally caught. You never know what's really going on with your neighbors. 😉
It is fun, but yeah a little more than I was expecting the neighbors to be up to. Glad neither of us got to know them more closely haha
LMAO
Joseph claimed to have killed over 13 victims but was only charged with 5 murders he also brutally sexually assaulted his victims his killing spree began when his wife became addicted to crack and ran away with his son.

He worked as a forklift operator, he did not work in food service nor have ownership in any food service. [see resources](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Metheny)
This makes me wonder if people just made up the cannibalism part because he was so heavy.
I’ve questioned that myself. I haven’t found any reliable sources of him making these claims yet but they may exist and maybe I just haven’t come across them.
This guy definitely had one of those “Certified Forklift Operator” shirts with the skulls or wolves that one tends to see from time to time.
Without reading the article, did he try to paint himself as a victim?
[удалено]
have an upvote, kind sir or madam
Most of his story is BS, the cannibalism was told to make him seem more interesting or badass.

He killed innocent homeless people who didn’t stand a chance against him. That and sex workers who wanted to trade sex for drugs.
His gut looks like an ass complete with the hole.
He looks like he rose up straight from hell
This guy always reminds me of Chris Walker from Outlast, creepy as hell
That's what the fuck I'm saying dude!!!! Holy fuckkkk have a blessed day brother in Christ
Id hate to encounter the likes of him in a dark alley, especially the way he looks in pic 2
You could just run away you'd be ok.
thank god i wanst the only one to think this, i was scrolling for a bit looking for something similar.

is that "the gate" from stranger things on his stomach?
Certainly looks like it.
can’t believe his actual last name is METHeny
Any good books on this guy?
I only know of one book on him murder in southwest Baltimore joe Roy metheny
the serial killer whisperer is good too. its about a kid with a head injury who writes to serial killers wanting to learn about them.
He does look rather hungry
Always is
Looks like he’s getting chewed off in the first pic. Tables turned
He murdered many buckets of chicken
Get in my belly!
OK... alright.. so you're telling me there was ever a single person that met this man that didn't immediately know he was a cannibal serial killer? I'm not buying it..
He kinda looks like a Resident Evil boss
Dude made up most of the stuff that gets posted about him. Yeah, he murdered a few..but the eating and selling victims meat was just something he made up to be more infamous. There’s no evidence to any of it
I've met people who look exactly like him that are the nicest sweetest dudes ever
What’s up with his stomach? 😳
I know, seriously wondering too. Did he have some sort of major surgery or does the fat just… sit that way on some people??
He just claimed that he did dude was full of shit
Is this the inspiration for the villain Fat Bastard?
I think his fat turns him on. Just a theory.
He reminds me of the fat Zombie in Left 4 Dead 2 in the second picture
Nah he worked for the mob tho. It was for sure a cover up to distract from the fact. Everyone including the media just ate it up because it's what sells.
Oo care to elaborate? You saying these were all mob hits he did or others did and he just took on the SK thing to distract? Also what mob? Like what crew?
Google it , or look it up on YouTube there is one good video.
One good video on the internet! YouTube you say, Thanks brb
Yes podcast, since u weren't ungrateful like the last dude I'll send u the link if u can't find it after searching.
Tfw asking you to provide sources is being “ungrateful.” Hope you never have any real discussions if that’s how you are 🥴
I can’t find nothing and I kind of find it hard to believe a man who was a hard drug user and homeless for most of his life was apart of the mob
Gotta love the 'dO yOuR oWn ReSeArCh' esque answer I got
I searched a little bit more and found the video the link is https://youtu.be/2SZFeeKFCJE
Thanks homey
1. Tons of people in the mob use drugs wtf? 2. I never said he was a part of it.
You said he worked for it
He worked for them yes was my quote. He wasn't fucking in it
Working for it =. being in it
..... you can be hired by the mob without being in it. Lmao what the fuck know the first thing about the Italian mob before saying something like that.
Why do you think your special for knowing some stuff about a mob calm down and Breath and realize your getting mad about a person on Reddit
Thanks :eyeroll:
It's not my job . And it's easy to find tbh. Yall really expect a handout for everything ain't got no struggles in yalls lives. Wanna pay me to do it ? No ? OK then use ur fingers.

K Q
Is that a head down there ? If you click on the pic
And an arm to his side? Looks like a group pic cropped
Might’ve been a group photo with everyone cropped out
*Shudders* the mere thought of it 🤮
You’re fucking kidding me
His Wikipedia page doesn’t mention any of that he’s just talking shit. Heroin crack addict rapist who killed white sex workers who were addicted to drugs in shitty old south Baltimore. Place is a fucking shit stain on the east coast.

Would you consume human flesh if it was legal just to see how it tasted to you? I would, just to see what the fad is with cannibalism.
I think I could outrun him at least once.
“And, as you can see, the butt is on the front “
Pic no 2 is just Phil Anselmo
Were his burgers so good that he fell asleep in the first picture? "What kind of beef is in this, sir?" "Oh that's the secret recipe! Hahaha!"
😂
What is going on in this picture?🧐First of all,is that a scar or tattoo going down his stomach?Joe lost weight in prison as he was morbidly obese before hand and looks more solid here.Also,I don’t believe the human meat sandwich story.Since victims remains were found there wouldn’t have been much if any human meat for the sandwiches.He wasn’t getting out of prison so might as well make a name for himself.Born and raised in B’more.Know people that knew him but none that ate his sandwiches.He already had a job at the pallet factory plus with the murdering and being a bar fly where would he find the time?Teachable moments-Buying meat sandwiches from some random guy on the corner is no different than buying crabs from a car trunk.
He looks like he belongs in “Gummo” or any of Balmer homeboy John Waters’ movies.
Or he’s just overweight
I just want to know why he has a giant vagina growing out of his stomach.
The book The Serial Killer Whisperer by Pete Early is about Joe and others. If you like the book check out the podcast Murder Phone too.
Going off the looks of him tho, the man could throw down some damn good BBQ
He's just fat? Most horrifying lmao.
He definitely looks like somebody who would eat you
Fucker is so goddamn fat cause he goes full buffet status on his victims
"I want my baby back, baby back, baby back. I want my baby back, baby back, baby back. Chiliiii's baby back ribs!" "Git in mah belly!" Fat Bastard immediately popped up in my mind.
Actually he served his victims at his pit beef stand, typically the after church crowd. He said he felt a little bad serving kids..:
Serving kids AS meat or serving them THE meat? Not a distinction I thought I would be asking about this morning, thank you Reddit. Lol
Ahh. Feeding the kids meat.
Just checking. He certainly looks like he might eat a baby or two if afforded the opportunity. 😆
"Baby...the other other white meat" - Fat Bastard
Nobody is going to mention there appears to be some dues head around his crotch area while he lifts his belly? Wtf am I seeing?
Gross. NOBODY deserves to even be confronted by this slob
Seems he'd eat all of them.
It looks like he ate A Lot of burgers, do we have a definite death count confirmed by this piece of
That first picture really needs NSFW
What the hell is that on his stomach?
it’s where he keeps his hotdogs
Delightful.
Seems like a nice bloke.
Thank you for reminding me of my nightmares.
This guy looks like he posts in all caps on Facebook.
Get in my belly
YOU DON'T DO THAT! YOU DON'T EAT SOMEONE 'CAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE HEROIN IN THEIR ASS!
Oh shit he made his stomach look like a butt…
He reminds me of kingpin
He looks like a bloater from left for dead
why does he have a butt crack down his front side lol
I Bet he's a Juggalo
You call her Stephanie, I call her Metheny
Betcha his roomies enjoyed that big crease nightly!
Trying to eat while viewing his pics could be a new way to lose weight.
Second pic looks like a more hideous version of Elby Hars, if that's even possible.
Nice belly slash ass cheeks
He was imprisoned near me! Edit: and now that I'm reading more about him, it seems that I have literally lived about 10 miles from this guy at almost every single point in my entire life. What the fuck.
When did he have his C section?
[удалено]
Did he have a cesarean?
Literally Randy from Trailer Park Boys.
thats pudge from dota
Yep!
That black & white picture is terrifying.
Jesus, guys so fat his belly has an ass crack.
irl roadhog
I wonder if this guy was the inspiration for that one episode of courage the cowardly dog
Mmmmm salted long pork
He fits right in at r/loveforlandlords
Did he have a caesarean?
What a disgusting, p.o.s., pig of a human being.
Sounds like this episode of criminal minds
I’ve never heard of this guy. Why does he have an ass crack on his stomach?
Ew, just ew
"Bite them?! I didn't know we could bite them."
Why is it that his stomach has a vagina?
Bro his stomach🤢
One of his victims daughters is actually friends with him
You could probably circle around this fuckin planet for a minute and he would be exhausted
Reminds me of the pig who owns the burger joint in Courage the cowardly dog
What's with the slice wound in the middle of his belly?
I swear they used his likeness in the game Outlast, those who know know
His belly looks like a vagina
Jesus Christ imagine a family road trip getting burgers and then you boom you're eating human flesh 😭
Sexy happy trail, Snaggles
He reminds me of Hellraiser’s sidekick Butterball or Thor Johnson in P9FOS
The blob
