Morbid

Maria Elena Milagro De Hoyos, known as Elena, walked into a Key West hospital suffering from a fatal infection of tuberculosis. Instead of a cure, she found a radiologist named Karl Tanzler who instantly became obsessed with her. Although the affections were one sided, when Elena passed away a couple of months later, Karl just couldn't let his soulmate go. What he did next is unthinkable, and he never really paid a price for it. Join Ash, Alaina and special guest, comedian Rachel O'brien, as we dig deep into Karl's crazy world. Check out Rachel's pod/comedy! And make sure to watch out for her new upcoming podcast Seven Deadly Sinners!

Guys, this case has plagued us for years. It is one of those cases that provides more questions than it does answers. January 10, 2013, 17 year old Kendrick Johnson was found dead, rolled up in a wrestling mat in his high school gym. Initially, the case was quickly ruled a tragic, freak accident but after three autopsies, several false leads and a myriad of unanswered questions, Kendrick's family is no closer to finding out the truth about what happened to their son on that winter day in Georgia. Did Kendrick accidentally fall into a fatally inverted position in the rolled up mat? Or did someone put him there?

Finally, we reach the Killer Clown. John Wayne Gacy murdered at least 33 young, teenaged boys during his reign on terror. As a beloved member of his community, an active member in several community groups and a bonafide clown named Pogo, no one could have known that he was spending most of his time luring, raping and murdering young boys. Part 1 will cover Gacy's life up until his first 2 murders. Sources: John Wayne Gacy: Defending a Monster by Sam Amirante The Man Who Killed Boys: The John Wayne Gacy Story by Clifford L.
