NYPD officer accused of attempted kidnapping, threatening to eat women

An New York City police officer is accused of threatening to kidnap, cook and eat women in a bizarre plot where he fantasized about how "tasty" one victim looked and said it would be easy to roast a person in his oven, officials said Thursday.

Gilberto Valle, 28, of Queens, N.Y., was charged with two counts of attempted kidnapping. The criminal complaint against him includes transcripts of his alleged plans, in which he is quoted at one point as telling a co-conspirator that his oven is "big enough to fit one of these girls if I folded their legs."


"I was thinking of tying her body onto some kind of apparatus ... cook her over a low heat, keep her alive as long as possible," he is accused of saying in the July conversation.

"She does look tasty doesn't she," he added, according to the complaint.

According to the criminal complaint, Valle had files on his computer that referred to at least 100 women, including photographs, addresses and physical descriptions.

Ten of those women have been interviewed by the FBI and confirmed that they know Valle, the complaint said.

Valle had been assigned to the 26th Precinct in Manhattan before his suspension on Wednesday.      

He was expected to appear in federal court in Manhattan in court later Thursday. Lawyer information was not immediately available.

What was he trying to figure out which lady would go best in his gumbo? Even if he was just being a creep saying that he thought certain women looked "tasty" or he wanted to cook them in his oven, what's he doing with over 100 files on different women including their addresses and physical descriptions?! If he hasn't hurt anyone yet he sure as hell would have eventually.

It appears that cities are scraping the bottom of the barrel for law enforcement officers.This man is absolutely insane and should never be let out among society for the rest of his natural born life.There isn't any anti psychotic strong enough to treat this individual in hopes that he will ever be normal.

Haha. It's okay, riverboy. I only did it because usually in the comments there is one person who brings up politics in a story that has nothing to do with politics, so I've never done that, so I thought it would be kind of fun to be the first one to do it here, in a story that, as yet, has produced no tragic results. I could really care less if it upsets any of them. People really do need to lighten up! Cheers!

Well, now that you've brought up that which should not be named, we have to delve deeper into the matter:

Are you really living in or were originally from Alaska?

Are you now or have you ever been a girl?

How do we manipulate 759554 to reveal that it is actually 666 in disguise?

If the answer to either of the first two questions is No, then prepare yourself for a tidal wave of lawsuits alleging you've intentionally degraded the native female population of the region.

See - there are worse things to talk about than politics. Not many, but in today's "be politically correct" world, we must be aware of the thin skinned sensibilities of so many others.

Besides, I kind of figured the guy for a right-wing, left leaning liberal traditionalist of a democrat. Boy was I wrong!

        Funny thing is he arrested a lot of people, but they never showed up at the jail. He was more interested in cooking, than booking. To protect and to serve ( usually served with fries and a roll). Kind of a cross between the Blue Knights and Hannibal Lecter. Do you suppose his special ingredient was bath salts ?They want to make a reality show, but they can't decide on a name. I have a couple of proposals " How I et Your Mother ", " Two and Half Men, The Thanksgiving Special ", or " C.S.I. New York ". Of course the C.S.I. stands for cooked, sliced, and injested !

        We had some last Sunday and they were great!

        He served them with a nice mushroom gravy sauce, a great steamed vegetable compliment, home made biscuits and a nice red wine!

        The thighs were especially tasty, the meat fell right off the bone!

              Until he's proved GUILTY in a court of law, he is still just "alleged" to have done anything, and at this point, it's nothing more than "thinking and talking" (apparently, unless there's more info being withheld) about something.

                Let's roll the ball off the table (Minority Report) you catch it before it falls, "why did you do that?"
                "Because it was going to fall." You respond...
                "How do you know?"

                Some things are just, well, going to happen. If this guy has been planning to the length he had, 100s of pictures and addresses, along with descriptions, he was going to do something.

                    I'm sure they'll be looking at actual missing persons and making comparisons to those he has "files" on for similarities.

                    I disagree.More monsters are getting caught due to advances in technology and people can't get by with denying things like this anymore.Formerly people who couldn't handle admitting that things like this really happen, used to conveniently bury their heads in the sand and say someone either is lying or imagined it.Now it's on people's computers or caught on camera so that doesn't work.

                      He did more than think. Those files that they found on his computer were obtained illegally from a law enforcement database. So, he's guilty of more than a fantasy.

                        Good point Barry,
                        Look at the law of averages, it figures that at least 10% of any population is going to be psychopathic, Homicidal, or violent in some manner between the two.
                        Psychopaths can be particularly adept at blending in...case in point, Ted Bundy. How many times have you read about someone saying "He keeps to himself, I never had any trouble with him..."
                        Jeffrey Dahmer lived with his behavior for many years before being caught. Most don't join the Police Department, but as large as NYPD is, you can expect a few to fall through the cracks.

                          So I know about these two guys on a deep jungle expedition that were captured by Cannibals. They were put in this big ass cauldron of water that was on top of smoldering kindling. As the Cannibals danced around the pot they kept adding more wood to get the fire going. Then one of them, I guess he was the witch doctor, kept poking one of the guys in the butt. He laughed every time the Cannibal poked his butt with the stick/spear. Finally the other guy asked, "Why TF are you laughing?"

                          He responded that every time he got poked in the butt with the stick/spear, he was crapping in their soup.

                              This story doesn't suprise me. Police are graft taking, racist, repressed homosexual bullies, and those are the nice ones. This pig's surname sounds like a Guinea name to me, a Guinea being my euphenism for any American of Italian ancestry. Out of all the teeming refuse that came to the USA, to be exploited for cheap labor and other degrading purposes by the wealthy deep state elitists, Guineas stand out for their stupidity and vulgarity, and continue to distinguish themselves in this regard in so many ways.
