Tony Costa (1944 – 1974), 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. Like the serial killers before him, Tony Costa was debonair, cunning and—to his detriment—overconfident. But Costa remains a relatively unknown true-crime figure despite the heinous nature of his crimes against women, murders that included dismemberment and necrophilia. Costa, nicknamed the "Cape Cod Vampire" and "Cape Cod Cannibal," was serving a life sentence for fatally killing and dismembering Patricia Walsh and Mary Anne Wysocki (whose bodies were found in pieces, mutilated) when he killed himself in 1974. Though he had been convicted of the two murders, according to investigators and his defense team, he was suspected of brutally killing as many as six other women.
