Wife of 'Cannibal Cop' Opens Testimony: Report

The first day of testimony in the trial of Forest Hills' alleged 'cannibal cop' commenced on Monday, and it wasn't short on gory details.

One of the first witnesses called was Kathleen Mangan-Valle, wife of Gilberto Valle, who stands accused of plotting to kidnap, torture and canibalize women across the city.

In a description of her testimony, the New York Daily News said Valle's wife broke down as she searched the computer in their shared Forest Hills home and found hundreds of e-mails in which he detailed his plans, which included using his oven to cook women after he had kidnapped and dismembered them.

Mangan-Valle also described seeing pictures of herself and her friends among the files the lapsed police officer kept on women he was planning to target.

Valle's trial continued on Tuesday. He is charged with conspiracy to commit kidnapping, and accessing a computer without authorization.
