Episode 93: The Lovesick case of Carl Tanzler
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this ain't your grandma's bedtime story.
Prepare to dive headfirst into the bizarre, unsettling, and frankly, slightly unhinged world of Dr. Count Carl Von Cosel.... AKA: just ...Carl Tanzler.
This episode we'll unravel the unbelievable tale of a lovesick (to put it mildly) radiologist who, after his Cuban dream girl Elena Hoyos succumbed to tuberculosis, decided that "goodbye" was just a suggestion.
We're talking grave robbing, corpse preservation attempts that would make even a seasoned taxidermist raise an eyebrow, and a seven-year "roommate" situation that redefines "unconventional."
Join us as we'll explore the questionable science, the even more questionable ethics, and the truly WTF moments that pepper this Floridian gothic horror story.
Was it love? Obsession? A severe misunderstanding of personal boundaries? We'll dissect it all with a healthy dose of dark humor mixed with the occasional nervous and always inappropriate laughter.
