American Cannibal Who Tried To Murder And Eat 14 Year Old British Girl Is Now Living In A Small Town In Nebraska

The 62-year old was registered as a sex offender and was reportedly living with local residents Steve and Lynn Sobota in the Todd Drive neighborhood. Since the news emerged, locals have been on high alert and parents have kept a close eye on their children. “This is just demented,”said Sylvia Kasper, who babysits several children near the Sobotas’ house. “This neighborhood is filled with children. There are babies right up the street. He could have walked right up to the bus stop!”

It really creeps me out,” another Todd Drive resident, who declined to give her name, said. “I have grandkids who come over.”

Washington County Sheriff Mike Robinson eventually allayed the fears, saying that Bolinger did spend some time in the neighborhood, but only before being sent to the Washington County Jail. The reason for his moving there has not been disclosed. “He’s here, but I cannot tell you why,” Robinson said. “Legally, I cannot say anything.”

Robinson said he is upset that he hadn’t received a tip about Bolinger earlier. “We don’t know why we weren’t notified, since they knew he was going to be living in Washington County, why they didn’t invite us to go to the airport with them to meet him,” Robinson asked. “Why he wasn’t directed to register directly here so we would have a little bit better understanding of his past, ee don’t know. We don’t have any answers yet.”

During the trial of the “Canterbury Cannibal” back in 2014, both American and British media were leaking its blood-chilling details. It emerged that he had fantasizing about cannibalism since the age of six. Once, he allegedly tried to suffocate a female friend with a rag. In addition, the information on the fetishist website claimed that Bolinger was interested in “cannibalism, mainly the hunting and preparation of young but sometimes not so young women.” 

Also according to British court documents, the convicted sex offender used to digitally alter photos of girls to show them with apples in their mouths inside ovens. A psychiatrist ruled at that time, however, that Bolinger wasn’t suffering from any mental illness.
