DEEP DIVE: The Philadelphia House of Horrors | Gary Heidnik
Behind the walls of an ordinary Philadelphia row home was a nightmare no one could have imagined. Between 1986 and 1987, Gary Heidnik kidnapped six women and imprisoned them in a horrifying basement dungeon—chaining them inside pits beneath his home and subjecting them to unimaginable abuse. Two women would never make it out alive. But Heidnik underestimated one of his captives. Josefina Rivera gained his trust, waited for the perfect opportunity, and carried out a daring escape that would finally expose the horrors inside his home and save the women still trapped below. This week on Stop! Who Does That?, Jackie and Jenna dive into the disturbing crimes of Gary Heidnik, the warning signs that came before them, and the incredible survival story that finally brought him down. #GaryHeidnik #TrueCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #PhiladelphiaTrueCrime #SerialKiller #CrimeStory #TrueCrimeCommunity #SurvivorStory #Philadelphia #PennsylvaniaTrueCrime #TrueCrimeYouTube #CrimePodcast #StopWhoDoesThatPodcast Learn more about your ad choices.
