Joseph Kallinger (December 11, 1935 – March 26, 1996)^[1] was an American serial killer who murdered three people, including his teenage son, and tortured four families. He committed these crimes with his 12-year-old son Michael.^[2]

Early life[edit]

The topic of serial murder occupies a unique niche within the criminal justice. Of the media, who inform and educate the public when serial killers strike.

Kallinger was born Joseph Lee Brenner III at the Northern Liberties Hospital in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Joseph Lee Brenner, Jr. and his wife Judith. In December 1937, the child was placed in foster care after his father had abandoned his mother. On October 15, 1939, he was adopted by Austrian immigrants Stephen and Anna Kallinger.^[3]

He was abused by both his adoptive parents so severely that, at age six, he suffered a hernia inflicted by his adoptive father. The punishments Kallinger endured included kneeling on jagged rocks, being locked inside closets, consuming excrement, committing self-injury, being burned with irons, being whipped with belts, and being starved.^[3] When he was nine, he was sexually assaulted by a group of neighborhood boys.^[3]

As a child, Kallinger often rebelled against his teachers and his adoptive parents. He dreamed of becoming a playwright, and had played the part of Ebenezer Scrooge in the local YWCA's performance of A Christmas Carol in the ninth grade.^[4] When Kallinger was 15, he began dating a girl named Hilda Bergman, whom he met at a theater which he was allowed to visit on Saturdays. His parents told him not to see her, but he married her and had two children with her.^[3]

She later left him because of the domestic violence she suffered at his hands. Kallinger was hospitalized at St. Mary's on September 4, 1957 due to severe headaches and loss of appetite which doctors believed was a result of stress surrounding his divorce. Kallinger remarried on April 20, 1958 and had five children with his second wife. He was extremely abusive towards his family, and often inflicted the same punishments on them that he had suffered from his adoptive parents.^[3]

Throughout the next decade, Kallinger would spend time in and out of mental institutions for amnesia, attempted suicide and committing arson.

Criminal career[edit]

Kallinger was arrested and imprisoned in 1972 when his children went to the police. While in jail, he had scored 82 on an IQ test and was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, and state psychiatrists recommended that he be supervised with his family. The children later recanted their allegations.^[5]:6

Two years later, one of his children, Joseph, Jr., was found dead in an abandoned construction building^[1], two weeks after Kallinger took out a large life insurance policy on his sons. Though Kallinger claimed that Joseph, Jr. had run away from home, the insurance company, suspecting foul play, refused to pay out the claim.^[6]

Beginning in July 1974, Kallinger and his 12-year-old son Michael went on a crime spree spanning Philadelphia, Baltimore, and New Jersey. Over the next six weeks, they robbed, assaulted, and sexually abused four families and murdered three people, gaining entrance to each house by pretending to be salesmen. On January 8, 1975, they continued their spree in Leonia, New Jersey. Using a pistol and a knife, they overpowered and tied up the three residents. Then, when others entered the home, they were forced to strip and were bound with cords from lamps and other appliances.^[6]

This culminated in the killing of 21-year-old nurse Maria Fasching, the eighth person to arrive, when she refused to follow Kallinger's orders he responded by stabbing her in the neck and back. Another of the residents, still bound, managed to get outside and cry for help. Neighbors saw her and called the police. By the time they arrived the Kallingers had fled, using the city bus as their getaway vehicle and dumping their weapons and a bloody shirt along the way.^[6]

Arrest and imprisonment[edit]

Police investigated Kallinger after gathering the bloody shirt and eyewitness testimony that he and his son had been seen in the area. They soon found out about Kallinger's history of domestic violence, Joseph Jr.'s unsolved death, and a series of arsons targeted against buildings he owned.^[1] Kallinger and his son were arrested on kidnapping and rape charges, and eventually charged with three counts of murder in New Jersey state courts. Kallinger pleaded insanity, claiming God had told him to kill.^[7]

He was found sane and sentenced to life in prison on October 14, 1976. Michael, meanwhile, was judged to be under his father's control. He was sentenced to a reformatory. Upon his release at 21, he moved out of state and changed his name. While in prison, Kallinger made several suicide attempts, including attempting to set himself on fire. Because of his suicidal and violent behavior, he was transferred to a mental hospital in Trenton, New Jersey. He was transferred to a mental hospital in Philadelphia on May 18, 1979.

Flora Rheta Schreiber, the author of the bestselling book, Sybil, interviewed Kallinger in jail in 1976.^[8] The interview was the basis for a book on the case which was published by Simon & Schuster under the title, The Shoemaker: The Anatomy of a Psychotic in 1983. This book was later part of a Son of Sam lawsuit brought by one of the victim's families as Kallinger received royalties for the book. A judge awarded the family earnings from not only Kallinger, but Schreiber and Simon & Schuster as well, leaving Schreiber nearly $100,000 in personal debt due to expenses of the book's research, including phone calls to Kallinger in prison which totaled $1200 per month for several years. A later appellate panel awarded only Kallinger's royalties to the families.^[8]

Michael Korda, editor at Simon & Schuster, said that for many years he received a Christmas card from Kallinger from jail. ^[9] Schreiber herself grew very close to Kallinger during the writing process, and the two exchanged regular letters and phone calls until Schreiber's death in 1988.

Death[edit]

Joseph Kallinger died of heart failure on March 26, 1996 at SCI Cresson.^[10] He spent the last 11 years of his life on suicide watch.

Law & Order (and its various spin-offs) is famous for its “ripped from the headlines” stories – episodes that take a prominent crime and change just enough details to make it fiction. But the Dick Wolf show is hardly the only procedural to look to real-life for inspiration. The long-running CBS show Criminal Mindshas also produced its share of episodes inspired by disturbingly real crimes. Here are seven Criminals Minds episodes that are based on real life.

“The Thirteenth Step”

The 13^th episode of Season 6 features a young couple named Raymond Donovan and Sydney Manning who go on a killing spree in the American West. The episode is partly inspired by Charles Starkweather and Caril Ann Fugate, two teenagers who murdered 11 people in 1958. Fugate and Starkweather also inspired the movies Natural Born Killers and Badlands, as well as the Bruce Springsteen song “Nebraska.”

“Minimal Loss”

The BAU team are called in to investigate alleged child abuse at a cult compound in Colorado in this Season 4 episode. A standoff with police follows, with deadly consequences. The story shares similarities with the real-life standoff between the FBI and the Branch Davidians in Waco, Texas, in 1993, which ended with the death of leader David Koresh and more than 70 of his followers.

“Natural Born Killer”

In Season 1, Episode 8, a supposed mob hit that turns out to be the work of a serial murderer. The killer, Vincent Perotta, was likely based on Richard Kuklinski, a mafia hitman and serial killer who claimed to have killed hundreds of people, though not all are confirmed. Bbsak crack cocaine video. Kuklinski’s story also inspired The Iceman, a 2012 movie starring Michael Shannon.

“Hostage”

This Season 11 episode tells the story of a teenage girl who escapes from the home where she’s been held captive with two other women for several years. The case shares many similarities with the real-life story of Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus, and Michelle Knight. The three Cleveland women were abducted and held captive by Ariel Castro for nearly 10 years before escaping in 2013.

“Alpha Male”

Killer Eliot Rodger was the inspiration for the unsub in this Season 12 episode, according to CBS. In the episode, a violent misogynist attacks people with acid because he’s angry about not being in a relationship. In real life, Rodger murdered six people in Isla Vista, California. He dubbed his crimes a “day of retribution” designed to punish those who he believed had rejected him.

“Our Darkest Hour” and “The Longest Night”

In these two connected episodes, a serial killer strikes during a series of rolling blackouts in L.A. The crimes share some similarities to those of Richard Ramirez – aka the Night Stalker – who murdered more than a dozen people in Los Angeles in the 1980s, as one of the show’s producers explained to TV Guide in 2010.

“Ashes & Dust”

A troubled man embarks on a spree of deadly arsons in this Season 2 episode. The killer, Vincent Stiles, was inspired by Paul Kenneth Keller, a real-life serial arsonist from Washington state whose crimes may have been triggered by his divorce.

Stiles also gets involved with the Earth Defense Front, an activist group that sets fires as mode of protest. The EDF resembles the Earth Liberation Front, which set fires at places like ski resorts to protest environmental destruction. However, the real-life ELF’s actions didn’t result in any deaths.
