In a chilling narrative, the eccentric 53-year-old self-proclaimed doctor, Carl Tanzler, became consumed by an intense fixation on the 20-year-old Cuban-American beauty, Maria Elena Milagro de Hoyos. Tragically, Elena was battling tuberculosis, and Carl, in his peculiar way, offered his services to save her. Elena eventually succumbed to her illness.
Shockingly, this was only the beginning of Carl's disturbing obsession. He preserved Elena's body and obsessively tended to her for years. Join us as we delve into the unsettling story of Carl Tanzler, crowned the "creeper of the year," in our Crime on Tap discussion. This macabre tale not only explores the depths of obsession but also prompts reflection on the darker corners of the human psyche.
