A convicted child molester has been accused of serving human flesh to his neighbors and telling them it was deer meat.
Nathaniel Bar-Jonah, from Worcester, Massachusetts, served neighbors what he called 'little boy pot pie' and 'French fried boy' during barbecues at his home in 1999, police discovered.
He is believed to have served the human meat in pies, burgers, casseroles, chilli and spaghetti, and when told his dishes had a 'peculiar taste' he told friends he had made them using deer meat, which he had 'hunted, killed, butchered and wrapped' on his own.
Bar-Jonah was arrested a year later and during a search of his house, police discovered recipes that included child body parts.
The man allegedly had been fascinated by the taste of human flesh since the age of six, and according to Metro, he would pick at his scabs until he bled.
Nathaniel Bar-Jonah, 43, is shown in this undated Cascade County Sheriff's file photo. Prosecutors on Tuesday, Dec. 19, 2000 charged jail inmate Bar-Jonah with kidnapping and killing 10-year-old Zachary Ramsay in Great Falls, Mont., in 1996, saying evidence suggests the suspect butchered the child and fed his body to neighbors

He was also described as a 'voracious eater' who weighed in excess of 300 pounds.
At just the age of seven, he lured a five-year-old girl into his basement and attempted to choke her.
As a teen, he initiated horrific offenses, which included impersonating a police officer to abduct an eight-year-old boy who he sexually assaulted and choked.
For the next 20 years, he frequently would pose as a police officer to lure children back to his home.
In 1996, a schoolboy named Zachary Ramsay disappeared on his way to school, around the same time Bar-Jonah was hosting barbecues for his neighbors and plating up 'deer meat'.
Zachary Xerxes "Zach" Ramsay (born December 18, 1985) was a boy who went missing while on his way to school in 1996.He is believed to be a victim of suspected serial killer Nathaniel Bar-Jonah. Bar-Jonah was charged with his abduction and murder, although the case was later dismissed due to Zach's mother believing that her son was still alive. Despite this, Bar-Jonah is still widely believed to be responsible for his murder, and Zach has been declared legally dead
It was later discovered, however, that the man did not own a rifle and financial records indicated that he had not made any significant grocery purchases following Ramsay's disappearance.
During the time-frame of Ramsay's disappearance, Bar-Jonah also held a part-time job in the kitchen at Malmstrom Air Force Base and another at a Hardee's fast-food restaurant in downtown Great Falls, Montana.
It is believed he might have used his position at these two jobs to get rid of evidence by feeding it to unsuspecting servicemen and women on the military base and to customers at the fast-food restaurant.
However, in Bar-Jonah's apartment, detectives found a number of recipes using children's body parts with titles such as 'little boy pot pie,' 'french fried kid,' and phrases such as 'lunch is served on the patio with roasted child' and 'Barbecue bee sum young guy.'
In his journals, Bar-Jonah also referenced serving these recipes to neighbors.
Although Bar-Jonah was never convicted of Ramsay's abduction and murder, he is still believed to have been responsible and is also suspected to have committed additional homicides in Montana because of the findings made in his residences by police.
After his arrest in 2000, he was sentenced to 130 years in prison without the possibility of parole for the kidnapping, aggravated assault and sexual assault of several minors.
He died in prison in 2008.
