Marc Vincent Sappington (born February 9, 1978) is an American spree killer and cannibal convicted of murdering four acquaintances in March and April 2001 in Kansas City, Kansas.[1][2] He gained notoriety for eating part of the leg of one of his victims, Alton "Fred" Brown.[3]
Lawyers for Sappington blamed the four-day killing spree on a history of schizophrenia and daily use of the hallucinogenic drug PCP. Sappington himself claimed that voices in his head told him to eat flesh and blood or he would die.[1]
Sappington was convicted on June 23, 2004, of murdering Terry T. Green, 25, Michael Weaver Jr., 22, and Alton "Fred" Brown Jr., 16 in April 2001.[1] Sappington was convicted on December 10, 2004, of an attempted aggravated robbery and murder of David Mashak at his auto dealership in March 2001.[2] Sappington's conviction was affirmed by the Kansas Supreme Court on November 2, 2007.[4]
In an April 2001 videotape, Sappington had confessed to stabbing Weaver to death, leaving Green's body in a car, and shooting Brown before dismembering his body and eating a small piece of his leg.[1]
