Cannibal cop’s Irish American wife tipped off the FBI when she discovered his deranged plans

Wait a minute everyone defending this guy he had lunch with at least one of the women he was discussing on the internet,what more do you need,the mother of his child left with just the clothes on her back, red flag !!!!!!,she suspected some thing before this, lock him up and throw away the key .

CitizenWhy.... this is still the USA -- we don't have thought crimes here....however, what they may have on this guy is "plotting to kidnap" and that would be serious. Only a trial may answer whether he was thinking or plotting. I hope for his sake he is not guilty. In your twisted mind that probably makes me some one who approves of cannabalism but, on the contrary, I have been a vegetarian all my life.

Some disturbingly ignorant comments here. Cops are not free to write down such fantasies and cannot use police resources for their personal stalking purposes. That's a matter of discipline. Using police resources without authorization, for personal purposes, IS a crime called Theft of Services. If you are so quick to defend this guy, request that he be allowed to continue his police career and serve in your neighborhood. It's shameful how so many people of Irish background are willing participants in dismissing the well being of women as trivial.

"Cannibal cop’s" Are you a considered a cannibal just for thinking it? Please put a headline that is related to the story

not funny,imagine being pulled over by this guy late at night,with a recipe book in glove box,some people on this site say you should not be arrested for writing,well what do you want to do,wait until he murders and eats some one,he is a sick disturbed individual and because of his position dangerous,how did he pass police evaluation?his wife was correct to turn him in,she might have been the star attraction at christmass dinner,so how long can you keep him locked up before you have to release him to possibly put his phantasy into reality?tough one, and i dont trust trick cyclists,they are always releasing supposedly cured sychos who go on to murder innocent people.

What do you call a Roman after he has eaten the mother-in-law? Gladiator.

Eleanor Roosevelt looked like a Cannibal!

Hell, he's just another Harlem cop gone native.

He committed a crime. Using police files and databases to find victims and to stalk them is a crime. What a heinous character. How does anyone know, right now, whether he has killed anyone or not? There are plenty of unsolved murders.

But, but, don't you understand, there was no crime. You want them to be able to lock you up for something you wrote?

A Yankees fan, I'm not suprised.

I wouldn't want to risk thinking it was just a "sick fantasy." I hope they can find some kind of charges that will stick and get this guy in prison. It doesn't get much sicker than what he and his friend had planned. I cannot believe that a female attorney is defending him! Shame on her!

and another question that arises - is there another side kick nutjob out there - who was he writing to and who wrote back to him about the weight of the bodies etc etc. seems to me they need to find out who's conspiring with him in case that other freako does get away!

somehow i dont think its very bright of the media to post where his wife is gone - she's got enough of a cross to bear as it is without having the media chasing her down or worse still him if he does get bail (he hasnt actually committed the crime so wont be surprising if he manages to get out on bail)

Wait a minute. There was no crime committed. They locked him up for what he wrote? Is that illegal .bad writing?
