Police say
man killed,
cut up his
mother
AKRON, Ohio (AP) — A man found in
bed with pieces of his mother’s corpse con
fessed to her killing, telling police she was
a “vampire devil” and that he “cut out
both of her hearts.”
Henry M. Heepe told police he beat
his 77-year-old mother, Barbara Heepe,
to death, then stabbed her and removed
her organs.
Officers found some of the body parts
in a pan on a stove, and Police Capt. Paul
Callahan said investigators believe Heepe
may have eaten some of the others. His
mouth was smeared with blood when he.
was arrested, Summit County Coroner
William Cox said Wednesday.
“I killed my mother,” Heepe was quot
ed as saying in a police report. “She was a
vampire devil. I cut out both other hearts.
It took her five hours to die.”
An autopsy that lasted all day Wednes
day showed Heepe’s mother had been
beaten around the face, head, chest and
arms and strangled, Cox said. She was
stabbed and disemboweled after she died,
the coroner said.
Heepe, 50, was charged with murder.
His arraignment was delayed while he
was hospitalized Wednesday for treat
ment of diabetes.
Police entered the Heepe home Monday
night after a neighbor, Mary Hendrick
son, said a boy raking leaves reported
hearing a woman cry for help.
As officers checked the house, they heard
a man chanting, “Die, die, die,” the Akron
Beacon Journal reported Wednesday. They
said Heepe had barricaded himself inside a
bedroom and refused to come out.
After trying for more than an hour to
talk him into leaving the room, they final
ly forced open the door and discovered
him nude on the bed, surrounded by
pieces of the corpse.
He was apparently engaging in a sex
act with the bowel, Cox said.
The lower half of the woman’s stomach,
her right eye, her spleen and a small part
of her small intestine were missing.
A knife was found near a toilet, which
left open the possibility Heepe may have
flushed the missing body parts down the
toilet, Cox said.
Heepe was a patient at Akron General
Hospital, said spokeswoman Susan Hobson,
but she declined to discuss his condition.
