Chamber of Horror

This is really sick. Jerome L. Wigmore, Jr. used a shipping container in his NJ backyard as a torture chamber. According to police, Wigmore held two women captive in the padlocked container, which he had turned into living quarters complete with air-conditioning units. The women, who were picked up off the streets in Camden, NJ were kept on a raised platform bed in a secret back compartment in the container, guarded by a pit bull. Wigmore sexually assaulted and tortured the women, burning one woman's leg with a blowtorch.
