Dale Bolinger, a 58 year old
male nurse with a wife and 3 kids, was caught by police trying to have sex
with, behead then eat a 14 year old Mexican girl.

The NHS nurse dubbed the ‘Canterbury Cannibal’ plotted to
fulfill his insatiable fantasy for killing with the help of a New York cop -
saying how he longed to eat a woman for Thanksgiving instead of turkey.
Sick Dale Bolinger was found guilty of arranging to meet a
teenager he groomed online after just three hours of deliberations
He also boasted online that he planned to chop off her head
and eat her.
His sick plan was uncovered by the FBI who found him chatting on the internet about rape , murder and cannibalism while calling himself ‘meatmarketman’.
At Canterbury Crown Court the trial heard how the
58-year-old bought an axe with a three foot handle from Homebase the day before
he arranged to meet the 14 year-old victim, and posed for a ‘selfie’ with it.
He had boasted about the weapon to a Mexican girl called
‘Eva Gonza’ - whose true identity is still unknown - on a website called Dark
Fetish Network.
Bolinger, who said he started having fantasies about
cannibalism at about the age of six, blaming his “very domineering” mother for
his “weird” behaviour, said of the axe: “It’s big enough. And very sharp. How
wide is your neck then?”
The following day in September 2012 he went to Ashford
International Rail Station in Kent expecting to meet the girl but she failed to
turn up.
The father-of-three, who boasted about eating two victims
already, talked about how much more tender the meat is from children and got
sexual gratification from his fantasies about cannibalism.
At one point during the trial, the jury was told how in
online chats, he told Eva: “The idea of us making love and then eating you is a
VERY great turn on!
“I have
been called a very generous lover and I would be very generous to you before I
prepped you for the table.”
But Bolinger told Canterbury Crown Court he had never
murdered or eaten anyone and his online boasts were pure fantasy.
When asked why he had bought the axe he told police it was to
cut down two trees adding: “There was a sale on.”
The nurse claimed he
did not even think he was talking to a young girl, but a man.
But the jury found him guilty of ‘attempting to meet a
child following sexual grooming’ after deciding he did turn up at the train
station to meet the 14 year-old.

His sick plans were uncovered by the FBI who found him
chatting on the internet about rape, murder and cannibalism to New York cop
Gilberto Valle .

Federal agents found hundreds of emails between the two
twisted men, which also saw Bolinger using the names Moody Blues and Christopher
Collins and writing from his meatmarketman@rocketmail.com email account.
Now details of nurse’s sick US fantasies can be revealed in
full for the first time including how he spoke about wanting to eat Valle’s
wife, a pretty university friend of the cop’s, a US prosecutor and a teenage
softball star.
Bolinger began speaking to Valle on July 9, 2012, through
the website Dark Fetish Network on which he detailed his lust for killing and
eating his victims.
The Harlem cop offered to send Bolinger a list of “the
girls I have available” adding “maybe [Moody Blues] can make it here and help
[him] with a kidnapping”.
Bolinger in return said he could teach Valle, who said he
charged $5,000 (£3,000) to deliver each victim, how to prepare a girl for
cooking, boasting he had already eaten two victims.
During the same chat the officer, who was at the time still
employed by NYPD, then received photographs of the Brit’s two alleged victims -
a “Kenyan student” and a “young Chinese girl”.
In FBI evidence Bolinger then asked Valle if his account of
cannibalism shocked him to which he replied “no, not really”.
The two men then discussed their potential victims
including Kathleen Mangan-Valle, who unbeknown to Bolinger was the officer’s
28-year-old wife and mother of their young daughter.
Valle went on to describe “Kimberly” who agents later
identified as his former university friend Kimberly Sauer. They both discussed
how she is the most viable option to kidnap and eat. Valle gave Bolinger a
detailed picture of where he lived saying he has a place in the mountains in up
State New York away from prying eyes.
He added he also had “a big gas oven” they could cook the
30-year-old in but Bolinger quickly expressed scepticism over Valle’s boasts.
The nurse wrote: “Seldom seen an oven big enough to take a
whole body,” only then to ask for the dimension of the cookers to check to see
if it was big enough. He noted he “wasn’t sure if she [Kimberly] would fit in
even as small as she is”.
Sickenly Bolinger, who used a picture of supermodel Naomi
Campbell on his profile, then said to Valle he believes they should eat their
victim ALIVE.
The officer said he planned to carry out the cooking of
Kimberly on September 3, 2012, - the American Labor Day bank holiday.
Valle wrote: “Labor Day is Sept 3, so I’ll go to her place
on Sept 2.
“Kidnap her from there and we’ll get her cooking Monday
afternoon.”
Bolinger, using his “meatmarketman” name replied: “I
thought she was for Thanksgiving?”

Bolinger was then sent a link to a video of Kimberly,
showing her in a bikini on holiday.
He then told Valle there wasn’t a lot of time to sort out
plane tickets to the US but he would look to see what “cheap deals” were
available.
Seeking reassurance about their sick plot Bolinger asks
Valle: “Will you go through with this? I’ve been let down before. "That’s
why I tend to work alone.” The day after their initial chat Bolinger received
“a blueprint” from Valle which he was told to “review”. The document entitled “Abducting and Cooking Kimberly: A
Blueprint" contained pictures of their target as well a detailed biography
of her.
After downloading it Bolinger asks for Kimberly exact
address saying he needed it “for Googling using the map app” so he could see
for himself where she lived.
A few days later he emailed another request, adding: “I
want to be involved in the planning and an address will let me check out the
area. Nearest police station, maybe video cameras, etc?”
The men also discuss how they could make Chloroform at home
to help knock out their victims when they kidnap them.

Sickeningly Valle described the 20-year-old as “the most
desirable piece of meat I’ve ever met” saying she is 10 years younger than
Kimberly and with a “better body”. However despite searching for her address they later
discounted her from their plans.
They also discussed kidnapping 28-year-old Andria Noble,
who Valle knew from university and had since gone to become a highflying US
prosecutor.
However she was quickly ruled out as they thought it “too
difficult” to get her away because of her job.
During his questioning by the FBI Valle stated he felt
Bolinger was “more serious” than the other 24 men he chatted to online.
When the Mirror approached Kimberly she refused to talk.
Bolinger’s friendship with Valle ended last year when the
cop was arrested.
His wife had become suspicious of his late night computer
chats and discovered pictures on their laptop of dismembered bodies. Kathleen
then installed Spyware on the computer which recorded everything her husband had
done before then informing the FBI.
Agents uncovered his and Bolinger’s sick conversations
which also include two other men - one of whom was a butcher in India who said
there was an oven to cook Valle’s wife in in Pakistan.
In March 2013 Valle, who used the online name
“girlmeathunter”, was convicted of plotting to kidnap, murder and eat women and
also was found guilty of accessing a national crime database.

Judge Paul Gardephe ruled last month there was insufficient
evidence to support the conviction and his ‘Internet communications about
kidnapping are fantasy’. It led to Valle apologising for his views, but
reiterated the argument of his legal team that ‘ugly thoughts’ are not a crime.
In the UK, Bolinger previously admitted having a stash of
some of the sickest child pseudo-images - depicting youngsters in an oven or
being barbecued. He also admitted publishing obscene material. The titles for the
pictures included Dinner, The BBQ, the BBQ2 and the BBQ3.
Prosecutor Martin Yale said these pointed to Bolinger’s
sexual interest in cannibalism relating to children.
He previously admitted attacking a woman two years earlier
by putting a dry cleaning solution-soaked cloth over her face.
Canterbuy Crown Court heard how he stuffed the cloth into the
mouth of friend Urlene King. He told jurors he had loved her and had sexual
feelings for her - and that he had made this known but Miss King had not really
made her feelings towards him clear. He said they had been shopping, bought
some fish and returned to his home. As he went to wash his hands he saw some
gauze and the dry cleaning fluid and put it over her mouth.
He said: “I was intending to put it over her face. Why I
was intending to put it over her face; I don’t really remember it.
“I was watching
myself from above. I was not aware; I could not feel any emotion or anything.
“Was I living out one of these fantasies? No. Was it to
kill her? No. Was it to rape her? No.
“Why I was doing it I am not too sure. I cannot really give
an adequate answer.”
Married father Bolinger was remanded in custody until
September 19 by Judge Adele Williams, who said: “I need a psychiatric report so
I can judge what risk you pose.”
Bolinger, whose father served in the US Air Force which
gave him American citizenship, bowed his head as the unanimous verdict was
returned following the four-day trial.
Psychiatrists and probation officers will now decide just
how dangerous he is before sentence in September.
Speaking after the case Det Insp Rob Chitham, of Kent
Police, said: “This was a long and complicated investigation because much of
the evidence was in the USA.
“In addition, the people who use fetish chatrooms go to
great lengths to hide their identity and specialist knowledge and equipment is
needed to determine who they are and where they live.
“We worked closely with the FBI and other law enforcement
agencies in America to identify one of the chatroom users as Mr Bolinger.
“A painstaking search for evidence both at his
home and elsewhere then began so that we could bring him to justice .”
