Episode description

Jean Stevens didn’t want to live without her late husband and her twin, so she didn’t. Sharnelle looks at how she kept their bodies in her house. Dee Dee talks about the lucrative body snatching trade in the early 1800’s, and the infamous pair Burke and Hare who killed 16 people to sell their bodies to a medical school for dissection. We hear from a listener who had a close call with a cannibal.
