Nathaniel Benjamin Levi Bar-Jonah (February 15, 1957 – April 13, 2008), born David Paul Brown, was a convicted felon and alleged cannibal〔("Autopsy finds blood clot killed suspected cannibal Nathaniel Bar-Jonah" ), Boston Herald. April 15, 2008. Accessed June 11, 2011〕 who was serving a 130-year prison sentence without the possibility of parole in Montana after being convicted of kidnapping, aggravated assault, and sexual assault of various children.〔(Great Falls Tribune, "Judge to hear testimony on Bar-Jonah's request for new trial," June 13, 2006 )〕 He was born in Worcester, Massachusetts.〔(New York Times, "Charges Dropped In Child Killing," October 3, 2002 )〕 ==Massachusetts years== In late July of 1964, six year old Bar Jonah lured a five-year old neighbor into his basement, telling her that he got a Ouija board for his birthday that could predict the future. Once in his basement, Bar Jonah attempted to strangle the girl, but her screams attracted the attention of Bar Jonah's mother, who came to her rescue.〔Espy, John C.: ''Eat the Evidence: A Journey Through The Dark Boroughs Of A Paedophilic Cannibal's Mind''. Karnac Books, 2014 ISBN 978-1782200338〕 In January of 1970, Bar Jonah managed to lure another neighbor, a six-year-old boy, to a nearby hill, claiming he wanted to go "sledding" with him. Once they arrived however Bar Jonah sexually assaulted the boy. A few years later, Bar Jonah attempted to lure two boys riding their bicycles down his street to a nearby cemetery, where he intended to murder them, but one of the boys grew suspicious and persuaded his friend not to go. 〔 When Bar Jonah's face was on TV in 2001 for the abduction, homicide, and cannibalism of Zachary Ramsay, 36 year old Mary Patrone recognized Bar Jonah as the man who abducted and assaulted her by dressing as a police officer 26 years earlier, in 1974. However, the statute of limitations had expired, and Bar Jonah could not be charged with the crime. Investigators also suspected Bar Jonah in the disappearance of 7 year old Janice Pockett 10 months earlier. 〔http://articles.courant.com/2001-01-21/news/0101212027_1_abducted-montana-officials-nathaniel-bar-jonah〕 In 1974 he pleaded guilty to impersonating a policeman and assaulting an eight-year-old boy, for which he received one year of probation. 〔(New York Times, "System Stands Accused In a Montana Man's Case," January 23, 2001 )〕 A few days before his high school graduation, Bar Jonah drove to nearby Hartford, Connecticut, and, impersonating a police officer, abducted a nine-year-old girl, whom he savagely assaulted once in the car. After the child began vomiting and convulsing from the assault, he drove up to a sidewalk and threw the girl out of the car. A nearby witness saw the incident and got his license plate, leading to his arrest. This assault never got back to Bar Jonah's probation officer, and he was released from parole in May of 1976 for his earlier abduction and sexual assault of an eight-year-old boy. When Bar Jonah's probationary period was over, he received a letter thanking him for his "cooperation." 〔Espy, John C.: ''Eat the Evidence: A Journey Through The Dark Boroughs Of A Paedophilic Cannibal's Mind''. Karnac Books, 2014 ISBN 978-1782200338〕 In 1977, Brown was convicted of the kidnapping and attempted murder of two boys and was sentenced to 18 to 20 years in prison.〔 Bar Jonah believed he had killed one of the two boys, and drove off with the other still alive in his trunk. However, the boy regained consciousness and managed to find help, and when Bar Jonah was arrested the other boy was removed, still alive, from his trunk. While in prison he was transferred to the Bridgewater State Hospital.〔 In 1991, he changed his name to Nathaniel Benjamin Levi Bar-Jonah. He gave several reasons for changing his name. One reason he gave, during an interview with Dr. Michael Stone for the television show, "Most Evil", was that he was Jewish and wanted his name to reflect that. Another reason Bar-Jonah gave was that he changed his name because he wanted to know what it was like to be discriminated against and persecuted as a Jew.〔("Cannibalism and the Strange Case of Nathaniel Bar-Jonah" ), TruTV. Accessed June 11, 2011〕 Later in the same year, Superior Court Judge Walter E. Steele ruled that Massachusetts had failed to prove that Bar-Jonah was dangerous〔 and he was released before moving to Great Falls, Montana.〔 During this time, Bar Jonah confided in his psychiatrists that he had a deep fascination and curiosity with the taste of human flesh, and had innumerable murderous ideations. 〔http://crime.about.com/od/murder/p/db_barjonah.htm 〕 On August 9th, 1991, just a month after being released from Bridgewater State Hospital, Bar Jonah observed a seven-year-old boy sitting alone in a car outside of a post office in Oxford, Massachusetts. Bar Jonah, who weighed 275 lbs at the time of the incident, having lost over 100 lbs while incarcerated for 14 years, entered the vehicle and sat on the boy, thrusting his mass atop the boy's fragile chest. Some witnesses, along with the boy's mother, observed the event and ran to the boy's rescue, causing Bar Jonah to flee. An officer recognized Bar Jonah's description from over fifteen years earlier, and he was later arrested for the attack. At first, Bar Jonah claimed that he entered the car to get out of the rain, but later admitted that he intended to kill the boy. For the attack, Bar Jonah received probation in Montana. 〔Espy, John C.: ''Eat the Evidence: A Journey Through The Dark Boroughs Of A Paedophilic Cannibal's Mind''.
