According to a criminal complaint, the FBI intercepted emails from Valle to an unidentified co-conspirator "discussing plans to kidnap, rape, torture, kill, cook and eat body parts of a number of women."
The complaint says Valle kept files on his computer about more than 100 women, containing a photo and address for each, CBS New York reports. Valle allegedly researched methods of "disabling and drugging women, and agreeing with at least one other individual to kidnap a woman in exchange for a sum of money."
No women were actually harmed.
According to CBS New York, Valle allegedly told a co-conspirator his oven was "big enough to fit one of these girls if I folded their legs." He also wrote "I can just show up at her home unannounced... I can knock her out."
"I was thinking of tying her body onto some kind of apparatus... cook her over a low heat, keep her alive as long as possible," Valle allegedly wrote.
The New York Police Department patrolman lives in Queens. He had been assigned to a Manhattan precinct before being suspended Wednesday.
