Real Talk With Jayden Perkins

At 1:00 a.m. on March 29, 1988 in Kansas City, Missouri, Christopher Bryson was lured into the home of 39 year old store owner Robert Berdella. He was knocked out with an iron bar and tied to Berdella’s bed, where he was subjected to extreme abuse and torture, which included sexual assault, electrocution and injection with hypodermic needles. After three days, Bryson convinced Berdella to tie his hands in front of him instead of above his head. While he was at work, Bryson managed to burn through his restraints with a book of matches that was accidentally left in the room. Afterwards, wearing only a dog collar, he jumped from a second story window, breaking his foot, but he managed to flag down a police officer. Upon obtaining a search warrant, police found evidence that suggested that Christopher wasn’t the only victim of Robert Berdella.
