Looking for a willing volunteer, Meiwes posted an advertisement on the website The Cannibal Cafe, whose disclaimer mentions the distinction between reality and fantasy. Meiwes's post stated that he was "looking for a well-built 18- to 30-year-old to be slaughtered and then consumed" Bernd Jürgen Brandes, an engineer from Berlin, then answered the advertisement. Many other people responded to the advertisement, but backed out; Meiwes did not attempt to force them to do anything against their will.

According to journalists who saw the video (which has not been made public), Brandes may already have been too weakened from blood loss. Meiwes read a Star Trek book for three hours, while Brandes lay bleeding in the bath. Meiwes apparently gave him large quantities of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol alcohol] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analgesic ~~pain killers~~], twenty sleeping pills and a bottle of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schnapps schnapps], kissed him and finally killed him in a room that he had built in his house for this purpose, the Slaughter Room. After stabbing Brandes to death in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Throat throat], he hung the body on a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meat_hook meat hook] and tore chunks of flesh from it; he even tried to grind the bones to use as flour.The whole scene was recorded on the two-hour ~~video tape~~. Meiwes ate the body over the next 10 months, storing body parts in his freezer under pizza boxes and consuming up to 20 kilograms (44 lb) of the flesh
