Born on 11 December, 1936, in Philadelphia, Joseph Kallinger was placed up for adoption as a young child. He was adopted by Stephen and Anna Kallinger and his upbringing was nothing short of horrendous. From a young age, he was abused by his foster parents. Some of these punishments included flogging with a cat-oâ-nine tails, being beaten with a hammer, being forced to kneel on jagged rocks, being whipped with a belt, being starved, being locked in a closet, and being forced to consume excrement. In 1944, Kallinger was raped at knifepoint by a gang of older boys. This attack prompted Kallinger to masturbate while holding a knife in the other hand. Kallinger first married at the age of just 17; the couple went on to produce ten children before she abandoned the family home for another man. Married again in 1958, Kallinger burnt down his own house for his own pleasure, reaping the $1,600 from the insurance. He would set the family home on fire another four times. In 1972, the Kallingers had six children remaining at home, including two from the first marriage. It was this year that Kallinger branded his daughterâs thigh with a hot iron after she attempted to run away. He was convicted of child abuse and received four years probation.Â
By 1974, Kallinger complained about hallucinations and was known to talk to a disembodied head which he called âCharlie.â It was around this time that he believed he had received âorders from Godâ to murder young boys and sever their genitals. Kallinger confided this information to his son, 13-year-old Michael Kallinger, and persuaded him to accompany him in his orders. Their first victim was Jose Collazo, a young boy from Puero Rico; they kidnapped him and killed him before severing his penis. Kallinger next decided that they should kill a member of their own family, his son, Joseph Jr. Kallinger attempted to make Joseph Jr accidentally fall off a cliff as they were posing for photographs. When this failed, they brought him along on one of their arson activities and tried to trap Joseph Jr in the burning tailor; again this failed. The final and successful attempt at his life took place three days later, when they drowned him at a demolition site. Later on in the year, the murderous duo broke into the home of Joan Carty, where they ransacked her house before tying her to the bed and sexually assaulting her. They laid low for the next eleven days as they planned their next macabre move. In Susquehanna Township, Pennsylvania, they held five workers hostage and managed to make off with $20,000 in cash and jewellery, but not before randomly slashing the breast of one hostage.
Over the next few weeks, they continued to break into homes where they sexually assaulted two women. On 8 January, 1985, they broke into a home at Leonia, New Jersey, and held eight hostages at gunpoint as they ransacked the house. One of the hostages was nurse, Maria Fasching. Fasching was ordered by Kallinger to bite off one of the male hostageâs penis, to which she refused. Enraged, Kallinger stabbed him to death before Kallinger and Michael fled. It was this murder that led to their eventual downfall - Kallinger discarded of a bloody shirt near the crime scene. The murder charges of Michael Kallinger were dismissed in return for a guilty plea on two counts of robbery. He was released when he turned 21. Joseph Kallinger was sentenced to life imprisonment where he attempted suicide a number of times, including setting himself on fire. His mental heath deteriorated behind bars and he was transferred to a mental hospital in Trenton, New Jersey, where he died of an epileptic seizure on 26 March, 1996.
