"Albert"
Fish
History
NICKNAME(S): Moon Maniac NAME: Hamilton "Albert" Fish
BORN: 1870 DIED: January 16, 1936
Albert Fish killed between eight and
fifteen victims, and he was a cannibal, child molestor, and
sado-masochist. Albert liked to be beated with a nail studded
paddle, and liked to stick needles under his fingernails and in
his groin. 
In 1928, Albert kidnapped 12 year old Grace Budd, took her to an abandoned shack, and proceeded to strangle her, cut her up, and cook her into a stew, which he ate.
Albert sent a letter to her parents, telling them how he took her, and killed and ate her. Albert said she was not molested before she died, she died a virgin. The letter was traced back to Fish, and police found his "implements of hell", which included a handsaw, meat cleaver, and knives.
Albert pled insane, but was found fit to stand trial. He was found guilty and sentenced to death. On January 16, 1936, he was electrocuted in Sing Sing prison, NY. Witnesses claims he helped the attendents strap himself in, and stated "the electric chair, the supreme thrill, the only one I haven't tried."
Albert speaks:
"We had lunch. Grace sat on my lap
and kissed me. I took her to an empty house in Westchester I had
already picked out. When we got there, I told her to remain
outside. She picked wildflowers. I went upstairs and stripped all
my clothes off. I knew if I did not, I would get her blood on
them. When all was ready I went to the window and called her.
Then I hid in the closet until she was in the room. When she saw
me all naked she began to cry and tried to run down the stairs.
I grabbed her, and she said she would tell her
mama. First I striped her naked. How she did kick, bite and
scratch. I choked her to death, then cut her into small pieces so
I could take my meat to my rooms, cook and eat it. How sweet and
tender her little ass was roasted in the oven. It took me nine
days to eat her entire body. I did not fuck her, though I could
have, had I wished. She died a virgin."
"I always had a desire to inflict pain on others and to have others inflict pain on me. I always seemed to enjoy everything that hurts. The desire to inflict pain, that is all that is uppermost... What a thrill that will be if I have to die in the electric chair. It will be the supreme thrill. The only one I haven't tried.... I am Christ! I am Christ!"
