Joseph Roy Metheny (March 2, 1955 – August 5, 2017) was an American serial killer and rapist from the Baltimore, Maryland area.

[2] Metheny murdered Cathy Ann Magaziner, a 39-year-old woman, in 1994, and buried her body in a shallow grave on the site of the factory where he worked.

[3] Metheny was tried for murder in a different case in 1995 for allegedly killing Randall Brewer and Randy Piker with an axe at a homeless "tent city" campsite under Baltimore's Hanover Street Bridge.

Amos was arrested and accused of first-degree murder and pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of manslaughter; he was released after serving one year and nine months of an eight-year sentence.

[7] Metheny then asked a friend to help him bury the body of Spicer which he had been hiding at the factory site since killing her a month earlier.

The friend reported it to the police on December 15, 1996, and Metheny was arrested and charged with her murder the same day.

[1][2] The owner of the business was arrested with Metheny as they left a Christmas party and was charged as an accessory after the fact for allegedly disposing of evidence.

[2] He was indicted for killing Toni Lynn Ingrassia, age 28,[6][2] but those charges were later dropped for lack of evidence.

[1] He claimed to have also killed three other prostitutes along Washington Boulevard in Baltimore, although there was no evidence of most of those crimes other than his confession.

[6] In August 1998, he pleaded guilty to murdering and robbing Magaziner, and prosecutors sought the death penalty in that case, as well.

[6] Metheny was found dead in his prison cell at the Western Correctional Institution in Cumberland, Maryland, on August 5, 2017, at the age of 62.
