description: "Antone Charles \"Tony\" Costa, sometimes referred to as the Cape Cod Vampire or the Cape Cod Cannibal was an American serial killer who was active in and around the town of Truro, Massachusetts, during 1968–1969. The dismembered remains of four women were found in or near a forest clearing where Costa grew marijuana. His crimes gained international media attention when the district attorney falsely alluded to cannibalism."
