A man found dead at a Central Park playground in an apparent suicide had a history of drug abuse and ranted to his mom the night before that he was being hunted by “human traffickers,” law enforcement sources told The Post Tuesday.
Ian Stapp, 37, of Brooklyn, was found at the Heckscher Playground by park workers shortly after 8:30 a.m. Monday, bloodied with nearly three dozen stab wounds, including a slashed throat and several cuts to his neck, police said.
Stapp’s roommate in Prospect Park South told cops the dead man frequently smoked marijuana and the synthetic drug K-2, while his mom said a psychiatrist once diagnosed him with “signs of bipolar” disorder, according to sources.
The worried mother, from Arizona, also told detectives that Stapp called her on Sunday night ranting about human traffickers and told her he would rather kill himself than let himself be captured by the smugglers, the sources said.
Stapp was first spotted inside a bathroom near the playground by a Central Park Conservancy worker shortly before 7 a.m. leaning over a sink and staring at himself in the mirror.
The worker saw a little blood on Stapp’s hands but assumed it was from a cut while shaving, according to sources.
At around 8 a.m., another park worker told police he unlocked the playground and saw Stapp lying face-up on the ground and called his manager, who then dialed 911.
Stapp was pronounced dead by EMS workers at 8:54 a.m.
He had as many as 30 superficial stab wounds to his stomach and chest, a deep cut across his throat, five cuts to the left side of his neck and a slash wound from his left ear to his neck, the sources said.
Police later found drug paraphernalia “in plain view” in his Ocean Avenue apartment, according to sources.
“Our preliminary theory and investigation indicates that his injuries could have been self-inflicted,” NYPD Assistant Chief Ruel Stephenson said at a press briefing Monday.
The Film– Ogroff is the leather masked killer hiding in the backwoods of France. He has a knack for chopping people (as well as cars and chess boards) up with his variety of axes. After dispatching of a family- and making the mom watch her son being dismembered and fed to… something living in his basement… Ogroff begins the hunt again. This time he finds some teens playing chess, and kills everything, including the teens, the chairs, the table, the chess board, the fire, and the car. Nothing is too big for Ogroff to chop up with is axe, and even a chainsaw isn’t as pleasing as his vast collection.
Otmar Egloff was born on 15 January 1932 in Wettingen AG. On September 1, 1958, he entered the Franciscan Order in Pupping, Austria. He was ordained a priest on March 31, 1963 in Wettingen. From 1968 to 1978 Otmar Egloff was curator for the territory of Switzerland, from 1967 to 1968 he worked as guardian in Fribourg FR, from 1970 to 1973 in Sankt Otmar im Werd in Eschenz TG and from 1991 to 2004 in Lugano. From 2004-2017 he was penitenziere (confessor) at the Lateran, the former traditional residence of the popes. (sz)
Are there really such grave sins that are confessed, such as murder?
Egloff: Yes. Rare, but they do exist. These things are also very difficult as a pastor. I can't just give an absolution, but the case comes – anonymously – before a higher college, which then judges. Until then, there is a temporary bus. For example, that the penitent must go to the police and report himself. An appointment is then made again to hand over the decision to the papal penitenzieri.
How do you see the connection between celibacy and abuse?
Egloff: In my experience, they have nothing to do with each other. Rather, it is due to the fact that, due to a shortage of priests, unsuitable candidates have also been admitted. Pedophilia is a serious disorder and misdeed.
Here we have Egloff, a man openly talking about the issue of pedophilia at the Vatican and the Catholic Church at large. Clown world doesn't even come close to what we have these days.

IS CHILD TRAFFICKING TAKING PLACE ON ETSY?
There are a lot of suspicious listings on Etsy that have people wondering if child porn or children are for sale for sex on the e-commerce site.

“Hey
@Etsy
— I would like an explanation for these suspicious posts, and I still would like an explanation for why I’m not allowed to sell “Child Lives Matter” products while you approve products that promote Satan!”
twitter.com...
Anyone else remember $10,000 listings for things like pillows and cheap file cabinets on Wayfair, that also had part numbers that when searched on Yandex, linked to missing children?
I do, those were easy enough claims to investigate and confirm. What was even more shocking for me, was that one of the girls from this research was from a town that neighbored the one I grew up in.
