CANNIBALISTIC serial killer Hadden Clark is behind bars in the US after killing a woman and a girl thirty years ago.
A new series sheds more light on the killer, amid claims he could be behind dozens more murders.
Who is Hadden Clark?
Hadden Clark is a serial killer who is currently in jail for murder.
He was born on July 31, 1952, in Troy, New York.
Clark had a troubled childhood where his parents would often fight with each other in front of their four children.
He claims he was mentally abused by them – with his mother making him wear dresses and calling him Kristen.
Clark trained as a chef and served in the United States Navy.
He was later discharged after being diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia.
What was Hadden Clark convicted of?
Clark was convicted of murder after being linked with the death of a woman in Maryland.
When he was sent to jail, he was put in a cell with Jack Truitt, a long-haired, bearded cellmate he believed was Jesus.
Because he thought this, he would confess his sins to him.
Clark told Truitt that he’d killed somebody else a few years before the murder he’d been imprisoned for.
This led to investigators reopening the case and convicting Clark after originally pursuing another suspect.
Who did Hadden Clark kill?
Clark’s first victim was six-year-old Michelle Dorr – a friend of his niece.
In 1986, he slashed her throat with a knife before carrying out a horrendous sexual assault on her.
He also ate some of her flesh before burying her body.
Six years later, Clark murdered 23-year-old Laura Houghteling.
She was the daughter of Penny, who Clark was working for as a gardener at the time.
After being accused by Penny of stealing tools from the garden shed, Clark went into the house and stabbed Laura to death.
He reportedly did this whilst wearing a wig and women’s clothes, and would later claim that the killer was his alter-ego, Kristin Bluefin.
Since his conviction, Clark has said that “Kristin” was responsible for murdering dozens of other people.
Police had some doubts over his claims due to his paranoid schizophrenia.
The bodies of the people Clark claimed he murdered were never found, however he directed investigators to a bucket of jewelry which contained – amongst many other items – some owned by Houghteling.
Clark reportedly said he claimed the items as trophies.

How long is Hadden Clark serving in prison?
Hadden Clark is serving two 30-year sentences in prison for murder.
He’s also serving an additional ten years for robbery, after stealing from a former landlord.
They’re being spent at the Eastern Correctional Institution in Maryland, after his conviction in 1993.
The combined sentence of 70 years means Clark is likely to serve the rest of his life behind bars.
