Last March, Gilberto Valle, a suspended NYPD officer, was found guilty of conspiring to murder and consume dozens of women. After spending a little over a year in prison, Valle has reportedly mastered the art of making pizza.
According to Valle's mother, Elizabeth Valle, who spoke to the New York Daily News, revealed that her 30-year-old son cooks breakfast and lunch at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in lower Manhattan for his fellow inmates and earns 44 cents and hour. The mother of the convicted felon also told the news outlet that her son "mastered making pizza" and even the jail guards are fans of his cooking. She even revealed that his inmates have no problem with him and joke about his ironic placement in the prison.
Gilberto Valle -- who earned himself the nickname "Cannibal Cop" -- was accused of corresponding with individuals harboring similar interests on fetish websites. The FBI found a list of over 100 women on Valle's computer, which was turned over to authorities by his now-ex-wife, that he planned to kidnap, kill, and consume.
Valle's defense attorneys claimed he was merely fantasizing the torture of women he knew (including his wife Kathleen Mangan), while Assistant U.S. Attorney Hadassa Waxman argued Valle was taking the steps to commit the crime. In addition to conspiracy to murder and cannibalism, the Manhattan federal court found the notorious "Cannibal Cop" guilty of illegally accessing a national crime database to collect intelligence on his potential victims.
Valle has yet to be sentenced, but if his conviction is upheld then he faces life in prison.
