Description

It’s 16 years since Gary Heidnik, the subject of this month’s One Life Of Crime, was executed by lethal injection. Kidnapper, rapist, murderer and self-ordained “bishop,” he kept six women as sex slaves, imprisoning them in the basement of his Philadelphia home. Did the punishment fit the crime? According to victim Josefina Rivera, it was insufficient. “Leaving him there would have been worse than killing him,” she once said.
