The Internet’s First Serial Killer

In the early 80s, John “J.R.” Robinson, worked hard to maintain the appearance of a family man. A father to four, J.R. became a Scout Leader, baseball coach, Sunday school teacher and a board member for a local charity. It was around this time, however, that J.R. also joined an S&M cult called The International Council of Masters, where he participated by luring victims to the cult’s gatherings for sex and torture.

In 1984, J.R. hired 19-year-old Paula Godfrey as a sales rep for a shell company he created. After she told her family she was being sent for “job training”, she was never heard from again.

In 1985, J.R. lured Lisa Stasi and her 4-month-old daughter from a women’s shelter in Kansas City with the promise of a job. After a few days, J.R. contacted his brother and sister-in-law who were looking to adopt and told them there was a baby available whose mother had committed suicide. After paying J.R. $5,500, they were given Lisa’s baby, Tiffany. Lisa was never seen again.

In 1993, J.R. hired prison librarian Beverly Bonner. After she had her alimony checks forwarded to a Kansas P.O. box, she disappeared and has not been seen since, though her checks were cashed for several years.

By the mid 90s, J.R. began using Internet chatrooms to find victims. Using the handle “Slavemaster”, J.R. met 45-year-old Sheila Faith. In 1994, J.R. flew Sheila and her 15-year-old daughter, Debbie, to Kansas City where they immediately disappeared, despite cashing their pension checks the following 7 years.

p>In 1999, J.R. met Izabela Lewicka, a 21-year-old Polish immigrant, who signed a 115-item “slave contract” that gave J.R. total control over her life. She soon disappeared.

The following year, J.R. was eventually arrested for sexual battery. When police searched his farm, they discovered two women’s bodies in chemical drums. After his storage units were also searched, three more bodies were found, belonging to Beverly Bonner, Sheila Faith and Debbie Faith.

After the longest criminal trial in Kansas history, J.R. was eventually sentenced to life without parole.
