When they encountered the macabre scene on Monday afternoon, it took them by surprise not expecting it to be one of the goriest crime scenes they may have encountered, for most of the arresting officers.

The entrée of the day, grandmother's flesh

On that Monday, the officer on watch was about to experience something straight from a horror film, but for them, it might be one of the most gristle and gore in their entire career in law enforcement.

Authorities got a 911 call at exactly 2 p.m. When they arrived at the scene of the crime, they caught 37-year-old Dwayne Wallick, who was intent on feasting on the flesh of his 9-year-old victim, as confirmed by Crazy America.
