Dating & Relationship status
Information about Metheny's personal relationships, including any romantic partners or family beyond his immediate family, is scarce. His mother provided some insights into his childhood, but details about his adult relationships are not well-documented.
Metheny's attorneys said his mother neglected her six children while she worked double shifts outside the home, that his father was an alcoholic who was killed in a car accident when Metheny was six, and that he suffered from depression. Metheny said that his parents often sent him to live with other families in "foster-like" arrangements. His mother said she had to work multiple jobs and they were financially poor, but she had provided her children with a normal family life, and the children had never gone hungry or been put into homes of other families as Metheny had claimed. She said that Metheny was an above-average student, always polite, and not mean as a child. She said "he was smart and had a good childhood. If he was neglected, it was his own fault. It was a pretty good home."
Metheny joined the United States Army in 1973. His mother said that he had served in Germany, although he claimed that he had served in Vietnam and had become addicted to heroin while in an artillery unit there. His mother said that she had no recollection of him serving in Vietnam, and the circumstances of his service were reported as unverified in press reports. American involvement in Vietnam had ended by that time.
Metheny seldom contacted his mother after he joined the Army. She said, "He just kept drifting further and further away. I think the worst thing that ever happened to him was drugs. It's a sad, sad story."

Net Worth and Salary
Given Joe Metheny's criminal activities and the lack of legitimate employment or business ventures, discussing his net worth in traditional terms is not applicable. His criminal activities did not generate wealth in a conventional sense but were part of his deranged actions.
Career, Business, and Investments
Metheny's "career" was marked by his crimes rather than any legitimate profession. He was convicted of murdering two women, Kimberly Spicer and Cathy Magaziner, and confessed to killing at least ten others. In a bizarre and horrific act, he transformed some of his victims into burgers and sold them to unsuspecting customers. This was part of his twisted game rather than a business venture.
Metheny was given the ironic nickname "Tiny" in the 1990s, as he was 6 ft, extremely large and obese. He spent much of his time drinking in bars and lived with groups of homeless men in makeshift camps in South Baltimore; nearly all of his money was spent on crack cocaine, heroin, and liquor. However, he held a steady job as a forklift driver and was described as intelligent, well-spoken, and very well-mannered.
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. 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. Metheny began confessing to other murders, as well as that of Spicer. He led police to the shallow grave where he had reburied Magaziner's decapitated remains. Much of the skull was missing, but the police were able to identify Magaziner from dental records.
Social Network
Information about Metheny's social network or online presence is limited, as his activities were largely criminal and not publicly documented in a way that would be considered part of a social network.
He was tried in 1997 in the Kemper case and given a sentence of 50 years for kidnapping and attempted sexual assault. He was acquitted of attempting to murder her. He was sentenced to death in 1998 for the murder of Spicer. At his sentencing hearing, he said that he committed murders because he "enjoyed it", he "got a rush out of it, got a high out of it" and "had no real excuse why other than I like to do it".
Education
Details about Metheny's education beyond his childhood are not well-documented. His mother noted that he was an above-average student in his younger years.
In conclusion, Joe Metheny's infamous career as a serial killer precludes a conventional discussion of his net worth or business ventures. His actions were driven by a twisted criminal mind rather than any legitimate entrepreneurial or professional pursuits.
Metheny was tried for murder in a different case in 1995 for allegedly killing two homeless men, Randall Brewer and Randy Piker, with an axe at a "tent city" under Baltimore's Hanover Street Bridge. Rival groups of homeless men were involved in mutual disputes and one of them, Larry Amos, was convicted of stealing the murder weapon and later using it to kill Everett Dowell, another homeless man. Brewer's and Piker's bodies were discovered on August 2, 1995, the same day that Dowell was murdered. Amos was arrested, 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. A jury concluded in July 1996 there was insufficient evidence to convict Metheny of murdering Brewer and Piker, but Metheny later said that he had committed those murders.
