THE EXORCIST is a horrifying story about a young girl possessed by the devil, but did you know Linda Blair was actually in the presence of true evil while filming the William Friedkin classic? It all happened three years later in New York. It was the late 70s, and six men were killed and dismembered. The bodies were wrapped up in plastic bags, and each was dumped in the Hudson River like trash. Due to the condition of the bodies, police were unable to identify the victims. However, upon investigating the men’s clothing and identifying tattoos, authorities determined that the men were gay—and that a serial killer targeted them at popular gay clubs.

It wasn’t until the body of film critic Addison Verrill was discovered beaten and stabbed to death inside his New York apartment that police had a new lead in the case. The murderer was a man named Paul Bateson, a 30-something X-ray technician he met at a nightclub on September 14, 1977. Bateson confessed to going home with Verrill that fateful night, having sex with him, and bashing his skull with a metal skillet before stabbing him.
